 when it is known that there is no section in this country bet- 

 ter adapted by nature asagreaf nursery for fowl and fish 

 than that which has been ruthlessly laid barren. 



If every large farm of from two to five bundled acres were 

 preserved the outside community would be better off. It is 

 impossible to keep all the wild birds planted Within liunndai \ 

 lines. Quail, grouse, rabbits and tlie like i-ainml be controlled 

 by line fences, bui will scatter over the country for miles 

 around. I-'roin the la\ of the land no one uia.n can control one 

 u Iii ile stream to fish." The mole fishes and birds tlie wealthy 

 owner sees lit to distribute in his waters and on bis land, the 

 better picking there will lie for the public along the edge-. 

 Instead of opposing and harrassiiig the man who is generous 

 enough to stock a section, the whole countryside would do Well 

 to hail the era which is just downing wi us as a pern,, ii. -m

 v. o. .d and where dees il grow; Ans. The I'ilTeren.-e lies mainly in the 

 action; some prefer the bamboo ami others the bethabara. A bam- 

 boo rod is usuallv stiffer than a wooden rod, because it cannot he 

 made limber without destioying the action in tin- second joint. We

Can it be true, as some of the -Middlesex county newspuP' 1- 

 assert, that two wolves have just been killed iuKssex: it h.i- 

 generallv been believed that the last wolves in Connecticut 

 were killed a century ago. In point, of fact, the supposed l.i-t 

 one killed in this State wasshol in January. I s 14, in Harthind 

 \\"oods. where it had tied from the Massachusetts side 01 I In- 

 line in its oltort to escape a party of hunters. It was bronchi 

 to this city and exhibited here as a curiosity, for, as we lie 

 lieved. there had not been another wolf in Connecticut for 

 ■■'■0 or 40 years before that time. Vet. here conies an item of 

 State news to the effect, that two wolves were killed in Ks-.-.x 

 Swamp by different men last week— one, killed in Centrebrook 

 District, that weighed 50 pounds, a true gray or ■'timber," 

 wolf, and the other doubtless was like him. That is not a 

 region where, if anywhere in Connecticut, we would look for 

 sin-h a thin- It seems as iniprobuble as the panther that wis 

 prowling about the Massachusetts and Rhode Island border a 

 year ago only about a dozen miles north of Providence. Wo Ives

 these two specimens have escaped from some menagerie,'—

Masters of vessels arriving at this port report that i - 



near the Jersey coast they observed a number of wild -■ 



ducks, gulls, and other birds in a helpless condition, being un 

 able to fly or help themselves. It is supposed that the fowl 

 were hampered by a sediment of coal tar which is supposed to 

 have come from the wrecked German ship Meta. which ran 

 ashore near Bayhead N. J. Water fowl dipping- in the sea 

 after tish were covered by the tar. as large quantities of u ha- 

 spread on the surface of the ocean in the vicinity of the wreck
