Gunners After the Ducks,

Wild ducks are not plentiful, but are more
numerous on the river just now than they
have been at any time this fall. and the
hunters are out otter them in large num-
bers. Several bags of a half dozen or more
pairs of good ducks have been shot in the
past week, and the hunters are looking for
the fowls to be more plentiful early in No
to be found below Alexandria and in Mat
tawoman creek, and further down the river
they are reported to be more plentiful. Be-
tween this city and Alexandria and on the
marshes of the Eastern branch and On AL
exander Island some few ducks have been
seen, but they are very scarce. So far this
season the wholesale dealers at the wharf
are reported to, have received but few birds
from the river gunners, and, in fact, the re-
ceipts of ducks and other game from all
sources has been very light.
