GAME IN BERGEN COUNTY.

The largest meeting that has been lac
fer some time Of the Farmers Game
Protective Association of Bergen County
was held at Cherry Hill on Tuesday last.
Discussion on the subject of the present
game avs showed that they are regarded
as weak and insufficient, the various open
seasons on the different game rendering
it difficult to properly protect the same
and enforce the laws. The constables' re-
ports, however, showed that a number
of convictions had been secured n fines
collected, and il was the sense eff the
meeting that the laws should be rigidly
enforced and maintained, and endeavor
made to secure better laws next year.
The association offers a reward of SIC
for the arrest and conviction, or informa-
ton leading to the arrest and conviction
of any person killing rabbits or quails
before the tenth day Of November next.
or for t~rsspassing on lands posted by the
association. and the association VIII also
waive all its rights to the fines imposed
for the violation of game laws 10 the per-
son securing the arrest, which is $40 for
each bird or rabbit so killed. II also in
tends to vigorously enforce the law
against Sunday stooting or the killing of
ins~ectivorous. birds.
Fish and Game Warden George A.
Ricardo of Hackensack is also On the
alert and viii prosecute all cases brought
to his attention eithet by members of the
association or by the farmers.

whole retinue of refainers. fell upon the
u~nprepared enemy a block above the sa-
loon. The McAleer brothers punched
him about the face and head, while their
retainers kicked him and beat him.
a friend Of Sherry's witnessed the un-
equal contest and quickly called from
Ross saloon a gang Of a dozen, who
were ehplns OF the under man. The
Sherry crowd jumped on the McAleer
faction. Then it was a fight for fair.
Fists, knives, bottles, clubs and stones
Inquired as weapons.
Both crowds received punishment and
honors were about even, when the cry
Of "Police!'' was raised. Before the

Women In Law.

The law as a profession for women,
is not an idea originating in the brain
Of the new woman. The woman lawyer
has the sanction of both Scriptural and
classic authority. We read in the book
Of Judges of Deborah, the wife of Lapi-
OATH, a prophecies and judge, to whom
the children of Israel came for judg-
ment Aspasia of Athens was learned in
the law, and in difficult affairs often
gave wise counsel to Pericles, her hus-
band. Sentia and Hortensia were well
known lawyers of ancient Rome In the
fifteenth century women were employed
as professors of law in the universities
Of Padua and Bologna Portia, the wo-
man lawyer in the Merchant of Ven
