Don't speak of family troubles to your neighbors, they may listen, but inwardly will call you a fool and repeat to your discredit, rather than to those you feel 1 have ipjurcd you.

By an act of the Legislature it will be unlawful to shoot woodcock between January 1. and September !, the season now opening September 1. instead nf July Land continuing four months.

It would take from England her Beocoiuheld. ' , from Germany her Bismarck, from Russia her Uortsckoff, from Austria her „ Andrassy, and from Spain her Casteiar.
