An Omen Season on Robins.

Mr.. EDITOR: Now that robins are swarm-
ing through South Jersey on their yearly
migration southwark, the temptation to
shoot them is very great, but as they are
protectected by law, we must abide in
patience until our Lawmakers give us a
short open season, say from the 18th of
October until the 18th Of November, and
after that give them close protection during
the other eleven months in the year. There
will no doubt be great opposition to this
project, but why should it not be carried
through. 1t is true, the robin is an insec-
tiyorous bird, and destroys numerous bugs
and worms which infest our gardens and
orchards, but the little fellow also destroys
large quantities of berries and small fruit,
but for the service rendered we will cheer
fully allow him to feed and fatten upon
our cherries, strawberries and grapes during
eleven months in the year, and protect him
in the utterinost. He is as fine a bird for
the table as the quail, grouse, reed bird or
any other of the feathered tribe which we
are allowed toshoot during the open season.
By the first Of November there will be
swarms of these birds in Salem, Cumber-
land and Cape May counties feeding upon
gum and cedar berries, upon which they
become in prime condition awaiting a
favorable n0rtheaster to carry them across
the bay into Delware, whence they continue
their fight southwark, and are shot by the
sportsmen Of all the States through which
they pass, and it is nothing more than CONF
mon justice to allow us Jerseymen, who
feed, fatten and protect them, to get share
for ourselves. As for myself dozen or
two in mornings shooting would be
ample, and | would be in favor Of restrict
ing the number to not more than two dozen
for any single gunner. | was up Timber
Creek last Saturday morning, shooting
blackbirds, and heard considerable shooting
in the neighborhood Of Clements Bridge,
and went up that far in my boat / in
quired of lad, whom | saw with a gun,
what he had been shooting, and he replied
"Blackies, . but / am very much inclined
to believe that he had been taking a
4whack' at the robins, number of which
| saw flying around.
How much better it would be to legalize
the shooting of robins during the short
season which have named than to impose
the ridiculous fine of twenty dollars per
bird upon the person who shoots them
am firmly convinced that they will be shot
ton the sly, p even though the penalty was
increased fise-fold. Let us have short
open season on robins.
Respectfully,
CHAs. CoHILL.

Is This Truaf

A property owner informed us yesterday
that between twenty and thirty families
employed at the ship yard are about to
leave Woodbury. on account Of the excessive
trolley fare, which has varied in the past
few months from &c. to 20c. per day, and
unless a permanent low schedule is made
Woodbury. viii get no advantage from the
construction Of these great works.
We have not time to investigate the
truth Of the statement before going e
press, but if it be true, Woodbury. should
build an independent trolley line to the
ship yard before it builds sewers or lays
brick pavements
Here is a job which the Board Of Trade

THE WISE VlZIER.
He Quickly Looked the Matter Over
and Executed the whole Outfit.

Abdullah the Vizier was bored. He
sat on mighty heap of embroidered
cushions and frowned at the black and
white squares of the tessellated court
and the perfumed fountain in it's cen.
ter.
Summon my three wise men," said
Abdullah, and the three wise men
stood before him.
Speak, Son of Wisdom" said the
vizier to the eldest of the wise men
land tell me why l am weary of tn
world"
And the wise man smoothed his sill
very beard with his long, thin hand
and spoke:
so Father of the Fatherless! ,
wisest of all wise men in this the wis
est country of the world! that thou
art bored Us but dispensation of
Providence, for 50 wise art thou that
none may grasp the reason of thy
boredom"
And Abdullah frowned and made a
sign, and the eldest of the three wise
men was taken from Abdullah's pres
ence and hanged upon the nearest
sycamore.
And the second wise man was sum-
moned before Abdullalh, and in answer
to the viZier's question he who was
known aus the Reader of the Moon
opened his mouth and spake: Too
wise art thou, o Father of the Faith
full; thou canst but Ibe bored. for
to THY wisdom must all things seem
foolish"
And Abdullah made sign, and the
second wise man was hanged beside
the first.
Then trembling and afeared
stepped forward the third and last Of
the wise men. Wrinkled was he as u
pomegranate wetted by the rain and
shriveled by the morning sun. He
waited not for the question of the vi
zier but raising his voice he cried in
shrill tones: 20 vizier, the reason OF
thy boredom is not far to seek. This
world is wide, and thou, o vizier, hast
eyes, and hands, and feet, and senses,
even as other men. Thou art a fool,
o vizier, therefore art thou bored and
weary OF the world"
And Abdullah laughed a hearty
laugh and raised him up from off the
cushions. Truth hast thou spoken"
said the vizier, "and the others lied,
knowing that they spake not the
truth Therefore shalt thou not be
hanged as We're they, but shalt lose
thy head at the hands of Ali the Exc
cutioner.'
And it was done even as Abdullah
the Vizier commanded.-Cinc
