The brown or Europ'r^an trout are to be found in many of our streams and they are certainly here to stay. As to their being a desirable acquisition, there is a division of opinion.

As before stated, the principal game of State consists of the par- tridge or raffed grouse, and the quail. These birds ;ire certainly growing less in number as the years go by. The partridge succumbs to the brush fence with its snare or trap, to the stealthy apijroach of the red fox, the mink, skunk and weazel, and the ravages of lire during the brooding season. The quail that lias survived all the other perils of Hood and field, is obliged to yield to an ice storm, either through imprisonment and suffocation, or from starvation.

I snould be glad to see the complete prohibition by law of the sale of game in every State in the Union. This I probably shall not see, but the day may come when a man's shooting and fishing will be as much his private propertv as is now his potato patch or lawn.
