Columbia County Poumrt Snow.— ChoMiam Village, N. 

 Y., Jan. 30.— Editor Forest and Stream: The third annual 

 exhibition 61 the Columbia County Poultry Association which 

 was held in our village last week, afforded an unusually at- 

 tractive centre for the poultry fanciers of the county. In- 

 deed, it ought, in strie' justice to the members of the associa- 

 tion, to be observed that the interest in their very worthy en- 

 terprise was not confined to the county by any means ; it 

 extended over the line into Massachusetts, One hundred Of 

 the entries coming from Piltsficld alone, of which D. G. 

 Boberts sent fifty-eight. This gentleman was the largest ex- 

 hibitor. He was awarded twenty premiums, and most of 

 them were the first. G. D. Milltngton, of North Bennington, 

 Mass.,'entered eight coops aud took several premiums. F. W. 

 Tanner, of West Stockbridge, Mass., was awarded the 1st pre- 

 mium on Dominii[ue chicks. Cur local exhibitors received a 

 fair share of the awards; Geo. F. Drummon, the largest ex- 

 hibitor residing m the village, with twelve entries, took ten 

 premiums ; Dr. M. L. Bates', of Canaan, had eighteen com- 

 peting entries and bore off seven premiums. The perceptible 

 increase in local representation as contrasted with previous 

 years, indicated a growing interest in poultry-breeding. I 

 was about to add a few lines advocating the formation of 

 county poultry associations, but the benefits accruing from 

 them must be manifest to the most superficial mind that will 

 lake the pains to reflect for one moment upon them, there- 

 fore 1 forbear. Our village taxidermist. Theodore Scnurr, 

 Avon five premiums on bis splendid display of stuffed animals 

 and birds. Particularly noticable among his animals was a 

 wild cat of the bay lynx species, which was shot early in the 

 winter on Mercer Mt. Specimens of this sort are occasionally 

 found among the Berkshire hills. They are said to be coward- 

 ly seldom if ever attacking anything larger than a pigeon, 

 and subsisting chiefly on quails and partridges. This par- 

 ticular one looks exti'emely wild and fierce, and weighed when 

 killed seventeen and a hall pounds. Hix.

—A subterranean forest of oaks has been discovered in Ger- 

 many in a valley watered by the river Fulda. Dr. Maesta, a 

 Government geologist, who made the discovery during an 

 official exploration, pronounces the trees to be of enormous 

 size, and to dale back in their origin to a remote period. They 

 are entirely buried beneath the surface of the valley, but seve- 

 ral hundred of the outermost trunks that, border on the banks 

 of the Fulda have been laid bare by the gradually encroaching 

 current of the stream. The wood has acquired a deep black 

 color, and has become exceedingly hard. It is believed that 

 it was excellent material for sculpture. One trunk lhat was 

 found in the bed of the river has been removed to Berlin to be 

 placed in the National Zoological Museum. Whether these 

 trees are of a species now in existence or one that is extinct 

 has not been determined.

Butts FOR Both 1m and Opt Door Akohbhy.— Editor 



Forest and 'Stream : Will you please publish the following 

 description of the butts used by the Buffalo Archery Club in 

 answer to the numerous inquiries I have received : 



Procure sufficient of some cheap material like coffee bag- 

 ging, to make a mattress 8 ft. square and 8 in. thick ; Stuff 

 with hay and sew with a mattress needle every 10 or 13 in. 

 This is to be suspended in n strong upright frame made of 

 stuff 2 in. by S in. (the narrow side should, of course, be to- 

 ward the archers) with a cross-piece of the same on top, but 

 none at the bottom. To this should be laced the > 

 suspended to the top piece by two stout cords which should 

 pass entirely around the mattress, and it is better to sew it on 

 the inside before packing with the hay. The mattress should 

 conic to within an inch or less of the ground or floor, and the 

 uprights should have broad, substantial feet, extending back, 

 front and on the side opposite the mattress. The target 



i inuld be suspended to the cross-piece so as to%ang 



over the centre of the butt. By covering this butt when not 

 in use by a piece of canvas it may remain out doors without 

 injury. ' W. Holbehton.

Yours truly. Henry C. Carver, 



25 Wabash ave. Sec, Nat'l. Archery Assoc'd.

 Gal., has recently moved into its new rooms, which all the 

 papers of that city unite in commending as models in every 

 way. The gymnasium is tilled up with all kinds of appara- 

 tus and appliances for muscular development. The club is 

 now iu excellent condition, and everything is auspicious for 

 its future. One commendable feature which we may look for 

 before long is the extension of the privileges of the club to 

 the ladies."

 imported. We broke 22 imported strings on one of our split

(a.) White may play S tks K P with an even game. If Black answer 

 4— P-Q4, White gets a sharp attack by 5— s tks K HP. If K tks S, then 

 6-Q-R5 oh, etc. If Black play 4-Q.-K B3, White can retreat the &B3, 

 with a safe game. If White play 4— Q-K2, Black 1—P-Q4. If s— S its 

 P, Q B K3. If 6— P-Q3, K S B, or P tks B, and the game Is even.

(d) Exceedingly weak ; should play B tks P, P-Q3, and Castle.; 

 (if) An eye-opener ; a bad look for White. 



(f) Excellent. Black is now master of [the situation. White Is in a 

 most awkward predicament; he can;neither Castle, play his Q, or ad- 

 vance Q, P. 



to) Not a good place for S,;but the only place for it just now. 



(ft) To prevent the advance of B P. 



(i) Suicidal; weak asjwater, and twiceas thin. Up to this point 

 White has made a gallant effort to free himself from the toils, but now 

 he throws away his last chance— should here play S tks B, then Q-K3. 

 If Black declines to exchange Queens, White can men Castle with an 

 even game, or nearly so. If Queens are;exchanged, tho Castling is no', 

 so important.
