J. B. KEECH, Tweedale: 



I have always regretted the repeal of the Act of Assembly 

 paying a bounty for hawks' heads. I know they are extremely 

 destructive to poultry. From personal observations I fiimly be-

 would prevent the loss of many thousands of dollars' worth 

 of poultry in the southern end of Chester and Lancastfi- 

 counties.
