Recentlv some vandals, in orchir to L^ratily an idiotic whim, tumbled the lar^^^est block down the hill-side and into the lake. The Ji^lory of tlu; noble forest where we hunt(;d the devil-moose- has departed, and all is now blackened stumps ami ashes where once the ^reen canopy seemed boundless. SometinK^s a heavy ,L(ale, such as the; .Saxby in i(S69, prostrates the trees, or the insatiable lumber- men cut them ilown, and them in summer-time, when everythinjf is as dry as tinder, a party of hunters or ant^lcrs are careless of their fire, and soon the country is in a blaze for mil's.

With a little pr(;caution, all of this mij^ht be prevented, and the trouble of n^stockint^ our rivers with salmon, tryinj.^ to re-introduce the game, and all the n;^t of it, mi^ht be avoid(;d.
