Slaughter of Young shaa

A despatch from Bridgeton under date
of the 18th inst, says; "The Cohansey
river was stocked with half million small
shad last year at the close of the shad
fishing season. These small shad went
south with the larger ones and have grown
as large as good sized herring. As shad
always return to the place where they are
liberated, the river is full of these small
shad this year and hundreds of them are
caught every day by the seine fishermen,
who, instead of letting them go as they
should do, string them up and sell them as
herring. If next year shad shall be scarce
these same fishermen will wonder why it
is. The catching snd selling of these small
shad should be storped by legal enact
meDt.n
That has always been the complaint
against the seine or shore fishermen. The
gill fishermen use net with five inch
mesh in which young chad and herring
are not caught. The shore seine is made
with smaller mesh, and scoops up every.
thing it its sweep.

August 25 to January for reed birds,
rail birds, and marsh hens August rs to
January for dove or upland plover, Au-
gust and September. In the making OF

have the seasons for different game run
more concurrently than at present.
The killing of ring necked pheasants is
prohibited for two years, and thereafter is
allowed only between October Is and De-
cember Is. The killing of deer except on
deer preserves is forbidden for three years,
and thereafter is allowed only between Oc-
tober 25 and November 5.

ing the birds protected.

the number of days dealer may have
game for sale after the season has closed
The taking of game out of the State except

markets A foe of $40 is provided for
cunning on Sunday.
