The Game Laws

Tliis destructive nuisance vvill pi-ubably be swept away ál the first session of ihe nsvv Pail'amcnt. Our American readers who have not read much upon ihe subject, can hardly concieve what the preservation of game costs the aristocracy and die agriculturisls of England, or what a prolific soui-ce of crime and ill feeüng it creates in the jcommunity. It mny assist ihem to a proximate idea of the consequences of this anomalous follv, when tlicy are told that the farmer's estímate thát one hare will do as much dnmage in i field of wheat as lioo shccp. But unlüce sheep, the pasture of ten thousani In res, preserved on some ducal estáte, i i the wlieat fields of the farmers in the neighborhood. By the terms of his lense a farmer must bear the deprejations cfT these cotton-coated inlruders, without committing any overt act o!' violence up on them, though they cover his fields. like the frogs in Egypt. True-, tho farmers somtiines receive a partial remuneration for the Hestruction of theircropsby game, but this is not sufficient to prevent the nusance. The cost of this sorr sport may be estimated Oom, the fact that the expense of keepfng pack of hounds, with Ihe requisite number of hunting horses, and othec "appointraentSj" averages five thonsand poundsx or nearly $25,000 a year!1 Waivy of tho nobility and gentry keep up two or three of these hunting establishments eacb, in different parta of the country. Thus the ex ense of a hunting establishment is equal to ths donna) sala-y of the President of the U.. States. - Burrilfs Citizen. American Bible Society works up in [)i:ixiüng a ton of paper a day..
