Of our best shots kill their game"
Among the lay sportsmen the con.
test lies, who shall kill the most head
Of game; but your sporting parsons
think nothing Of one another till they
have had a shot at the squire"
IAN odd circumstance occurred the
other day In - church. In Leicester
shire. The Lord OF the Manor has
brought an action against the parson
for shooting upon his lands and imagin-
ing himself to be addressed from the
desk In the words, o Lord. forgive US

scarcely the faintest conception Of the
extent to which INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers are said to have carried the
business Of substituting deleterious
and not infrequently poisonous ingredi-
ents in food articles Of the most COM
mon and necessary use. 1t has long
