 This is splendid weather for ram bling through the woods after game, and huntsmen who have. been .oGt claim that there is an, unusually large number of birds in Waterbury this season, but owing to the fact that the leaves are still on the trees and the grass and brushwood has not yet dis appeared, it is difficult to do much eff fective work in the way of shooting. The presence of people in search of walnuts and chestnuts is a source of much annoyance to the fellows with the rifles and renders the business of shooting rather unpleasant. Those who carry guns as well as people who go unarmed should be mighty careful lest serious accidents occur during the next few weeks. Sportsmen who discharge their rifles near thickly settled sec tions should be arrested and punished severely for their disregard of human life. Yesterday some one fired at a quail near Simonsyille and came mighty close to a group of children who were picking walnuts nearby. Of course the man was not aware that the children were there, but this would have been poor excuse if some of the little ones had been injured All such accidents are the result of careless ness. and every man who takes a rifle in his hand and goes out hunting is supposed to know something about the danger incident to that kind of exer- else. it is but natural that people should look to them to exercise the greatest care in order to avoid doing anything which would make them feel sorry during the balance of their lives that they ever had rifle in their hands.
