The Woodcock is very eccentric in its
action before the hunter; the work of
shooting it therefore is intensely interest
ing first because it requires great skill
and second, the reward of success is so sat
isfactory. The young birds fall compara-
lively an easy prey, but an old bird profits
by experience, and is not readily caught.
You may see it running in the under
growth, or squatting in the smallest pos
sible proportions under the protection of
the broad leaves of the dock. Your faith
ful and well trained dog "poipts" with
unerring certainty where the prize is hid
den away; but before you can fire the
cunning creature quietly slips off reaches
clump of intervening trees, then takes
wing in i way not anticipated; and if not
very expert and self possessed the chances
are you loose your shot. At another time
the bird, upon being alarmed, will fly off
in straight line with the swiftness of the
wind; again he will rise with all the whir-
ring noise of partridge, or possibly get
beyond your reach with the silence of an
owl, seeming to vanish rather than to fly
out of sight,-It may be taken for granted
however, that woodcock flushed in the
woods will, the moment he clears the top
Of the trees, dart downward and under
any circumstances present most difficult
shot; if the sportsman be above, the bird
is out of sight in an instant; if below,
there is nothing left, as the bird approaches
but quick shot.


If flushed in his open low feeding
grounds, he will, if he has not been previ-
oufly prosecuted by the hunter, fly a.ong
and just above the surface of the earth
your title to him is then as clear as if he
were in your game-bag but such easy ap-
preparation is the exception and not the
rule in hunting the woodcock. But these
very uncertainties regarding the conduct
of the bird when pursued as game adds
zest to the excitement in the minds of the
truly cultivated and intellectual sportman.


Wounded woodcocks will sometimes
conceal themselves by sinking in soft mud
or under water, showing nothing but Their
bills, which they so intrude among the
stalks of grass and weeds that they have
every possible chance for concealment
though they resort to this expedient mucl
less often than the common snipe.-T. B

REARING TRoUT.-Any one with u
spring of good soft water at his command
can secure the luxury of brook trout upon
his breakfast table every morning for six
months in the year. We heard of a Mas
sachusctts farmer who, this season, besides
supplying his own table with these de-
licious fish, sold three hundred pounds of
fish at fifty cents per pound His pond
was stocked only two years ago at an ex-
pense of $35, and covers about an eighth
of an acre of land, and he fully expects to
triple the product next season. Now, in
dependent of the pleasure derived from
rearing the fish and the luxury of eating
them, and taking a mere practical dollars
and cents view of the case, we cannot con-
ceive how an eighth of an acre of land can
be made to yield as much clear profit under
any species of cultivation.


Solon Robinson, who is known to all
agricultural readers as practical man
whose opinions are worth something, has
been among the fish breeders of New
England this summer, and says that the
only difficulties he can see in the way oil
pisciculture becoming profitable branch
of rural economy is the difficulty of pro-
viding for the fish a sufficient quantity o.
animal food. We fancy the animal offa
from most households would go a long way
toward furnishing a supply. Let the Wis.
cera of poultry and animals slaughtered
for the table and for market be passed
through an ordinary sausage grinder oil
cutter, and they will furnish ample food
for many more trout than would suffice
the home demand. - Tatf, Fieldand Farm

We find the following in the State
Journal, and would have the suggestions
receive the closest attention of Republi-
cans in this county. Read it:


We are pleased to see that Republi-
cans are nominating the best men for the
Senate and Assembly. The next session
will be an important one. The duty OF
dividing the State into Legislative, Sen
ate and Assembly districts will devolve
upon the legislature of 1871. For this
reason men Of enlarged views should be
sent here-mcn who represent not Only
their entire districts, bat the section of
the State where they reside, and who
will recognize the rights OF all sections.
It is particularly important that Repub-
licans should vote for their candidates
after they are nominated. We have
large majority in this State. If we lose
an election it will not be because there is
a change of sentiment, but will show that
there was neglect to vote, under the
impression that the election was not i'm
portant.


The Democrats arc not negligent on
election day. Their persistence is worthy
of a better cause, and should warn US of
The danger of apathy ] hey know the
Importance of this election and will try
hard to carry the Senate. They will not
succeed if Republicans do their duty

that contain majority of Republicans

suffer this year

elections are to be held this fall, with the

We learn tha: the steamer Orion, of
the Goodrich Transportation Company s
East Shore Line, ran ashore at Grand
Haven early yesterday morning. She
left for Chicago at the usual hour the
evening previous, but meeting heavy
head sea, was compelled to turn back,
and in endeavoring to enter the harbor,
struck the bar and stranded near the
wreck of the steamer Milwaukee north
Of the piers. No particulars nave been
received as to her condition, but as she
is very strong boat, we do not think
she has suffered any material damage.
Capt Butiin left here last evening on the
Ironsides, taking with him some wreck
ing apparatus and will endeavor to get
the steamer of as soon as possible. =

On Saturday afternoon last, as the
schooner Franklin was on her way to
this port, from Milwaukee, while off the
seven mile pier, at about 8! clock, Mr..
TORY Thompson, the Captain of the
schooner. fell overheard and was drowned.
From his brother, Herman Thompson,
we get the following particulars: At
the time mentioned the unfortunate man
went up to the foremast- head to make
fast the gait topsail, and while leaning
against the rigging, the fore deck s!;roud
gave way, and the POOR man fell oyer
board The brother, who together With
the victim of this sad casualty was the
only one on board, hearing the rigging
crack, locked up to see that his broth
er had gone overheard. He immediate-
ly hove the schooner to, but as it was
very foggy on the lake, and heavy sea
running, his endeavors to lend assistance

him again. AS nothing further could be
done, he ran the schooner into the har-
Dor here, feat which, considering the
heavy sea running at the time, was both
difficult and dangerous.


The deceased man was known among
large circle of our citizens, and bore
the reputation Of being an honest, hard
working man.


He leaves wife to mourn his loss, to
whom with the brother, the sympathy
of our whole community is extended in
their hour of trial. The deceased was 81
years of age.


The flags on the shipping in our harbor
were displayed at half mast on Sunday.
and feeling Of pain was evinced by all
to whom the deceased was known.

A RESOLUTION was offered at the last
meeting of the City Council to suspend
work on York and Sixth streets for an
indefinite time As far as suspension on
Sixth street is concerned we are satisfied,
but when it comes to leaving York street
in the condition it now is, all winter, we
strongly protest against the reso, ,ution
being carried INTO effect The idea of
owering the street some FIVE or six feet
until striking 9th, and then suspending
work abruptly and leaving an embank-
ment there oyer which no team can go
is unfair, and as property holder on
that street, we give our opinions on the
subject and hope the City attorney will
agree with US when he gives his opinion,
as he is called upon to do.

The Senate was decidedly uninteresting
yesterday. The members devoted themselves
solely 10 the hard details of business, with AZ
much dilgence as II the session were near
close. This diligence, however, leaves US
under the unpleasant impression that they
are rccuperating for long specchmaking
onslaught on the first important bill that comes
up Among the private bills passed yesterday
was one giving Mrs. Rawlins, the widow of the
late Secretary of War, the salary Of the posi-
ton for one year.


In the House, as usual on Monday, flood
of bills was reported under tho call OF States.
Among them were bills TO remove all legal ana
political disabilities and to authorize our citi-
zens to accept diplomatic appointments from
foreign governments. A bill to place Mrs
Lincoln on roll of pensioners and
to allow her three thousand dollars year was
passed by vote of 70 to 81. A resolution
to pay Sypher one years salary, or five thou
sand dollars and mileage, for his trouble in
trying to get a seat that the House decided he
had no right TO, was very properly snubbed,
and went to the Committee ON Elections. An
attempt to call up the Alabama claims and urge
settlement was defeated, the House evidently
holding to Secretary Fish's notion that it was
better to let things work quietly. A resolu-
ton declaring the 3Oth of May public holiday,
being the day for decorating soldiers graves,
was passed without a division. The House
then resolved itself into Committee OF the
Whole on the Tariff bill, and for the rest OF the
day discussed the everlasting subject OF iron
It is worthy of note that John Morrissey was
in his seat yesterday for the first time since
December his leave Of absence being one OF
the indefinite leaves that were recently re-
called. He signazed his return by casting
vote for Mrs. Lincoln's pension.

During the last week the average daily mass
of advertisements in this journal of all descrip-
tons was about forty-three columns or some
thing over seven compact pages in small type
greater average than that Of any preceding
week since the issue O? our first number.


In corresponding ratio our daily circula-
ton has been and continues to be steadily and
rapidly increasing.


In its advertisements and circulation, the
HERALD having been for many years recog
nized reflex and index of tho prosperity and
expansion Of this great commercial and fnap-
cial metropolis and of its fluctuations in
business affairs, we may submit our enlarging
prosperity of this season as q fair indication of
general revival of business here and through
out the country.


From present appearances, looking at the
growth of the city itself, and of its surround
ing suburban cities and villages on Long
Island, Staten Island and in New Jersey,
Westchester and Connecticut, and at the
Increasing demands of our advertisers and
subrcribers within this radius, and from all
parts of the Union, the Continent and the civil
lied world, we expect coon to be required TO
issue daily quadruple HERALD, and to meet
demand which we arc prepared to meet,
rising from one hundred and fifty thousand to
two hundred thousand copies every day in the

THE GOVERNOR. We are glad that for the
last few days the Governor has been in this
city, because here he will have learned some
thing of the outrageous encroachn,ents upon
citizens rights and municipal rights conceded
to railway monopoly in the Arcade Railway
lob. Wa hope, however, that our citizens
whose interests are most directly affected by
this iuiquitous job will call upon the Governor
tomorrow whether here or at Albany in
strong force and with a strong array of facts
and arguments against the signing OF the bill,
IN order to convince him Of the wisdom and
sound policy Of an immediate proclamation OF
his yeto--and we think they can do it.

The spring season of horse racing and the
anniversaries is upon us, and in both these
departments of modern reform good season
is expected. The great approaching "milr'

it is expected, will give new impulse all over
the land, excepting Connecticut, to the SO
called "manly art" of the professional nose
breakers. Then comes the gay summer sea-
son of the fashionable world, which it is ex-
pected will be marked by an extraordinary run
of travel to the Rocky Mountains, the Great
Salt Lake, and all the wonderful regions
beyond to the Pacific coast. The summer
migrat;ons to Europe, on the other hand, will
probably be less than those of last year, while
the rush from Europe to this side will be in
creased, in consequence of the unsettled con-
dition Of things in France, Spain, Germany
and Italy

last year good cotton crop, good tobacco

have many reasons to anticipate lively spring

The notorious and erratc Frank Pixley is now
riding the snti-CAinese hobby with might and
main This sudden outburst is generally inter-
preted to be bid for Congress from the San
Francisco district. 1t looks very much as
though Frank had only ucceedcd in making
himself unpopular with both parties. The Dem

apostle of the true faith and if they did would
require him to take back seat for a while, a
thing his irrepressble go-aheadatveness puts
out of the question Republicans, on the other
hand also doubt his sincerity and view his pres

One way and another the Chinese question is

the initiative and charging upon the Republican
party that they preferred the Chinaman to a
white man, and intended to give him the ballot,
and all this sort of trash, they succeeded in
arousng the prejudice of race and calling among
the voters sufficiently to give them the victory.
Such nonsense white men fratcrnsing with
inferior races in preference to their own color
and kin can produce no lasting impression and
insults the intelligent voter. The other point
