The gunners are expecting an excellent
shooting season for ducks this year. The
reason Tor this is that hut few ducks have
appeared on the rivers and Susquehanna
flats. They usually appear much before
this time, and when they do the shooting
is not so good, because the ducks disappear
before the season, which opens on Nov. |,
is well advanced. This season the ducks
are arriving late. and will likely remain
later, which will Give a good chance FOR
shooting.

The Havre de Grace Ledger says, four
cOlored men and two white men, all sup
posed to be tramps boarded passenger
train at Perryville, one night last week,
and came to that city. 1t seems the col.
orcd men had learned in Perryvilie, that
the white men had some money, and they
determined to get it at all hazards. About
$50 o clock the men left the depot and
walked as far as the freight house, when
the white men decided not to 20 farther
and look for some place TO sleep. Al at
once, four arms were raised, and the
negroes ordered the white men to hold up
their hands, which demand was complied
with, and the white tIaInps yielded up 80
cents each, all the money they had. Tie
white men then started up Green street,
and, when a short distance away, one Of
them fired at the four negroes, and ran
The fire was returned and the man was hit
twice, in the left elbow and left hip.
