situation carefully before making any
change. -Gillett Times.
The hunting season for all classes
of game which can be hunted under ex-
isting laws, will be open ten days later

one coupon attached instead Of two as
previously, thereby limiting the number
of deer that can be killed to one This
is blow to the "pot" hunter, who
often comes here from other states.
The open season for deer remains as
formerly, at twenty days, from Novem-
Der 10th to Both.

Fifty Years Ago.

On Wednesday last, Mr. Edward
James Esq. while narrowing, at their
farm in the town of Waldwick, met
with an accident which came near ter
minating his earthly career. He had
turned over the harrow for the purpose
of cleaning it, when his attention was
attracted in an opposite direction, and
in turning round, his foot caught and
threw him upon his back on the teeth
of the harrow, one of which penetrated
his shoulder and another entered his
body to depth of about four inches,
between two of his ribs. He was re-
lieved from his perilous position by a
man at work some two hundred yards
off. We learn from DR.. j. b. Moffett,
who was called, that Mr.. James is do
ing as well as could be expected and
that hopes are entertained of his re-
covery.
