HUNTING NOTES.

HvBTFonn, December 7, 18,4. 



ivate letter from my friend Charles Fcntnn.dati .i Dee. 2. 

 from which I take the following, winch I thought might be of im crept.

 ' irly liirccu years I li ive followed still hnutiug every year in 



its season— that is. fiom Nov, 1st to Jan. 1st. The 1st of Jan. used to he 

 the cloying season for hunting deer. I hare killed over nine hundred 



II,. i h .' ." been more deei killed along the Denver Eirer and its tribu- 

 • i' the muvhsof Oetebu- mil November, than at any pre- 

 vious year since my re-il.nc' here; the number will reach one binidi ■»<} . 

 I... .ii. killed by driving with hounds, by the panics here. 1 ' He 

 say-: '"This Is not my way of hunting, however. I don't fancy driving 

 dear into a lake with dogs, Whore they have no chance, and killing them 

 "•-•-ems to me to be unsportsmanlike. Ven- 

 ison Is mi I to eat if it has bean runlonj by dogs, and the smell of such 

 venison while cooking would be too offensive to endure, and nothing but

"Thelirst BUOW or the auisou fell upon Cue last day of October, to the 

 depth of live inches, which rem unci four days. Eight deer were killed 

 by still huutiug during Hie snow at No. Eon ■. The snow came again the 

 80th of November to the depth of three inches, and lias been accumula- 

 ting ever since until it is nearly one fool deep and good sleighing.

"Bears, which were plenty here In Summer, have all left, as they always 

 (henikerei e to beech nuts for them to eat, I am at a loss 

 to know where they go to. I am not certain whether they migrate or 

 lieu up early— that Is, before the snow, in years when there is little food 

 for them. 



'•There are two or three panthers prowling abont here. I saw a track 

 across the road several tiui.s, three miles tow.-r.ls Stillwater.

HOG HUNTING IN LOUISIANA. 



Sew York, November j}, lg74. 

 Editor PorbStasti Strkath:— 



in your paper of Siih of October, I noticed a paragraph about hogs ill 

 Virginia, which reminds me of a little experience of my own (villi Louis- 

 iana hogs. 



During the Winter of '«!-31 lived in a fort in the Atchnfalnya Swamp, 

 anr" having plenty of leisure. 1 amused myself exploring the swamp In a 

 canoe utif out of a loir, always taking my Knlleld rifle for the benefit of 



such game as came in my way. and when i... in g -., -enied Itself, 



I practiced upon the numerous alligatois lying upon the shore sunning 

 themsel.es. 



One one occasion, being out with lv,o comrades in arms, and having a 

 good appetite, bid "thy one little duck, we resolved to have some fresh 

 poll:, tie v/e puddled up a sum. I havou, till finding a spot where Ihe 

 muddy shore v.m- lin.t . .,, , t,, admit of pur landing, we pushed through 

 the palmetto scrub and ^raited inland hi senrcu of bogs. '1 here are many 

 hoitsiii that locality, whose ancestors were the real civilized hog belong- 

 ing to the plantations bordering the swu-np; hilt the original Mr. Hog is 

 no more like his descendant "than tto Hercules." During the neurit 

 season the young ones are quite pain table, and as we were in a position 

 rrqniriinr us lo produce a hog. or to camp with only a small duck for 

 supper, and nothing for breakfast, We kept our "weather eye" open for 

 tracks. 



After proceeding.'! few hundred yards we reached an opening in ihe 

 cypress foresl Where were about adozeu hogs, at which we tired almost 

 simultaneously, flora moment the animals were much demoralized* 

 but wiih considerable grinning and snorting, they recovered Troiii their 

 ii,.: i raced us, aud charged, twos quite amused ut their antics, un- 

 til 1 noticed my coinradi s (who being old hunters knew what was proper 

 to do under such circtintst ince-i disappearing throng h the underbrush in 

 the direction of the canoes, and calling to me to run fol my life. 



Under the impression they had seen the devil himself, I did not stop to 

 watch the hogs in their peculiar movements, but followed the advice so 

 hurriedly given, anil pointed for the same place. Arter tumbling down 

 several limes, the result Of cut ling olT corners, I found myself consider- 

 ably behind my more experienced fellow sportsmen, and only a short 

 distance in a ivnnce of the hogs, which 1 heard tearing through the un- 

 derbrush at a fearful rale behind me, I hough I hud no idea it was a Jew- 

 playful (?) hogs 1 was running away from, until on p.cking myself up 

 near my can . c, I saw the snouts of the more advanced animals within a 

 few feet of me. Sly riile was lost early in the retreat, aud being empty, 

 would have been about as useful as a feather duster. Sly canoe, having 

 been drawn up on the shore, was equally as useful. The Irees being little 

 less than five feet in diameter, were not "cimenble,' ' so my only altcrna- 

 ti\ e was to leap into the bayou among the alligators, which I did with a 

 promptness showing very plainly 1 was not afraidof the hogs. OJt uol 

 merely a lit'le warm from ihe exercise I had taken, aud desirous of hav- 

 ing a bath in the cool, refreshing water. 



When my head appeared through the green slime covering the dirty 

 water, 1 realized that though out of the frying pan, I was certainly in tho 

 lire. On the shore were drawn up as if for inspecl ion a herd of enraged 

 hogs, thirsting for my blood, hair erect, and showing by the movements 

 of their jaws that, they doubtless thought, if they could not say, "juB* you 

 come out from among those a ligators, and we will teach you a tiring or 

 two in hunting," which 1 declined with thanks. 



In their hurry to get off my companions had not stopped to pick up 

 their paddles, and though not far from me, were quite powerless to ren- 

 der any assistance. Thenoiseof the alligators tumbling into thewater, 

 being aroused from their siesta by the noise we were making ill their 

 quiet domain, forcibly reminded mo that I was inviting Ihem to ccme to 

 supper; sol struck out for the opposite shore, feeling quite conlldeiit I 

 should not lire to reach it, as III my fright every stick 1 struck 1 believed 

 was -in alligator. After a short swim i reached the- other shore, and 

 Ctawled up the muddy bank more dead than alive. Had 1 been less 

 scared and not quite so dead, I could have laughed at the peculiar turn of 

 affairs; but under the circumstances 1 contented myself with several 

 smiles, drawn from a flask found in one of the canoes, which had drifted 

 ashore with their occupants upon the safe side of the bayou. 



After discussing tin- satiation for an hour, during which time the en- 

 emv had withdrawn from view, we crossed the bayou und went in search 

 of our rifles and game, taking good care to examine every but* on the 

 way, and even looking up into the cypress and lire oak trees, lest our 

 enemy should belying In ambush for us. The rifles were carefully 

 loaded, and a young pig (which had been killed by three bullets) brought 

 to the canoes and quickly transferred to U suitable and safer camping 

 ground, where a good meal was soon eaten by three hungry— what shall 

 I say? not hunters, as that would be pulling the shoe on the wrong foot. 

 Yours, i'. G.

R. W., Webster.— I wish your opinion of the shooting quality of my

P. E. B., City.— I saw somelialf a dozen qn ail in a store window this 

 morning, and they were so frightened that they h. at. themselves: against 

 the sides of the very small box in which they were confined. Now, I 

 want to know if it is lawful to keep quail ehnt op In this manner? Ails. 

 There is no law against keeping any species of bird in cage ciutinemeut. 

 be it quail or canary, though wc deprecate the trapping of quail, as well 

 as their us- as cage birds. No game bird ought to be confined for show 

 in this way, unless previously tame or tamed. 



N. E. B., Fall Hirer.— 1 am troubled with motha in my fly book. I 

 don't understand how th-r get in. for when not in use I have ftfpt HlO 

 Ii lot carefully wrapped in oiled silk, and when it was packed away for 

 the Winter. I sprinkled mm Camphor between the leaves. On opening 

 the book this \. St. I round several of the flies so badly eaten as to be 

 almost worthless! Ans. Get a new book, as moth eggs may be in the 

 .,,], scatter some camphor over it, and then tie it up as closely as pos- 

 sible, and yon will find them strangers, we think. 



J. C. R., Brooklyn .—In your issue of Dec. 3d you stated, in answer to 

 a correspondent, that a 15 bore with a certain load, should put 60 or 10il 

 pe'letsof No. 6 or 7 shot in a 3 inch target at 40 yards. Was it meant, 

 that the target should be sqaare aud A inches on a side? In what kind 

 of shootintr can a gun that scatters be used to more advantage than a 

 close shooting one? Ans. 1. Target three inches on a side. 2. In 

 shooting at large or spreading coveys, lessen you- charge of powder or 

 increase your snot, and your gun will shoot more closely. 



N. B„ New York.— Please let me know in your next paper the proper 

 way to load a gun made by or called "Bnban's Dacicr," weighing SJ lbs,, 

 IS bore, lenrth of harrel, 33 iuches; also, what game is best to shoot with 

 that gun? Please let me know if 1 can get a boat at Seaside Grove, L. 

 I., and the price or a boat for one day. and if there is good duck shooting 

 there? Aus. Are not acquainted with the gnu you refer to. 2. Boats 

 can be procured there for Si-50 per day. Duck shooting has been good 

 there this season. 



J. 8. G.. Binghamtou — Thera Is quite a difference of opinion among 

 those heretofore nslne muzzle loaders, but who wish to adopt the breech 

 loaders. Which is best? Ans. Breech loaders hare so many advanta- 

 ges that an opinion seems scarcely worth asking. Tho muzzle loader 

 has only one advantage, and that is in throwing wire cartridges for long 

 range shooting. But after all, as We have said a dozen limes, this is a 

 preference obtained through personal tests. So you see, we cannot giva 

 you much light When other and more careful gnn trials have neon 

 had. perhaps the world will gain some positive knowledge on this vexed 



L, T. SI., Philadelphia.— A relative of mine, in Basle, Switzerland, is 

 desirous of presenting me with a breech loading gun, and request) to 

 know my preference as regards weight, length of barrel, and bore. Hav- 

 ing had but little experience in gunning, I would request of you to inform 

 me, through your valuable paper, tho kind to describe for general shoot- 

 ing, and what position of lever to be preferable? Ans. If he presents 

 you with a European gun. we should advise you to ask for an English 

 make. Either a Scott, Dougall, or Westley Richards is a eood arm. 2 . 

 Oct a 10 bore, side lever. Selecting a shot gun for anolhor is a difficult 

 matter, as almost every one has his own preference in such matters. 



O. H. n., Iowa.— Are black and gray squirrels the same, and the color 

 an accident? A friend tells me he once found a black one and n pure 

 albino In. the same nest, having a gray mother? 2. Where can I get 

 Reeves' gun felt, or Shuitz's wood powder? Ans. i. The black and pray 

 siiulrrels are. not Ihe same. Such n case is true of albinolsm. 2. Reeves' 

 gun felt is a preparation of gun cotton, The fibre Is felted, then treated. 

 In Fiance, a similar material made into paper pulp, is used, nave tiled 

 It and found it excellent It may, in time, be extensively used. It can 

 be bought here (see Gloan). Shnltz's wood powder can be obtained only 

 in England, we believe. 



N. E. B., Fall Hirer.— I send you by mall this P. M., in alcohol, a little 

 fl-h, for which I would like a name. Please notice- his two distinct dor- 

 sal fl-is, and tilso the size of his pectoral fins. I hare several in my aqua- 



fi i though quite lively, they do not move w-ith ihe same grace as 



the other fish, but with a peculiar motion, for which, in default of their 

 proper name, I call them darters. Would it he possible forme lo ohlain 

 a pair of smidl grayling for ray aqnarinm, aud if so, where can I get 

 Ihem? Ans. We should hare answered you long ere this, hut for the 

 fact that your letter was mislaid among a pile of old pipers. The fish 

 yott refer to is the silver dace. 2. Sir. A. S. Collins, Caledonia, X. 1'.. 

 can supply you. 



W. G„ New York. -Supposing a person is fooling with a dog and the 

 dogiua-idenlally bites him: the don, no: being mad, enn lie have it 

 shut? 2. If the owner sends tho dog out of town, so they-canno t sTIaoti 

 it, can the person hitt ,, make owner prodnee.the dog by law? 3. Do 

 you think that if the dogis penni-t.-d to live and should go mud that the 

 person bitten would? Am. ! A case tried lately in Maine proved tho t 

 the owner of a dog can have no redress, if his animal is killed by a man' 

 which It had bitten; t. We are not certain of thai matter, but. on log-' 

 ical principles should say not, as he may disclaim :i-,v knowledge of Ihe 

 d.og 3, It d sea u. -t follow that the bite of a healthy animal should af- 

 fect n man, in ease that mutual afterwards showed symptoms of hydro- 

 phobia. We consider such statements -which hare been made— as the 

 worst of bosh, and not worthy a moment's thought. 



B. G. H., New York. -Will yoirbi kind enough' to fufnrm your read- 

 ers, through yd ir paper, whether distemper in dogs is enu-titutiontl or 

 Infectious, what the symptoms arc. and its treatment? Y"ou may have 

 answered litis question often, but I hare never seen it, so am conipfdled 

 to a-k lb,- laror. Ans. Distemper in dog- is the slime as typhus fever 

 iri man, and is therefore infectious under certain conditions, hot ir is not 

 constitutional In its literal sense. It is iu reality a poisoning of the 



blood by sol ib exterior matter. '.!. The sym :. ,,,- j, but an 



Invariable symptom is a low fever, prostration ot strength 1 aaol 



shivering, loss of appetite and hurried respiration. The mos.ns for cur-
