The Game Laws.

WE are glad to learn that some of our leading sportsmen are making a deter- mined effort this season to enforce obedience to our Provincial game laws. The Magistrates throughout the Island have been forwarded circulars requesting their particular attention to all reported breaches of this Statute; and urging them, in the interests of game preserva- tion, to punish severely the unscrupulous pot hunter.

This, we believe, will have a good effect. For years, a wholesale slaughter has been permitted of our most valuable game inthe close or breeding season ; avd before the unfortunate fledglings have left the protection of their mothers’ wing. This so-called sport~is dastardly in the extreme, and without excuse. No man, calling himself a sportsman, would shoot dows the half winged bird, hefore it could rise from the ground and offer a fair mark for his gun. We do not write to urge the law breaker to mend his ways. This would be useless ; for those who take pleasufe in such barbarous pastime can only be reached by the iron hand of the law. They may be taught that they cannot be cowardly cruel without punishmeat, but we expect to stir no generous nature in such men.

This Province would abound in game, if some measure of protection were afforded. Our partridge, black duck, woodeock and snipe are all the finest birds of their class, and compare in size and flavor more than favorably with apy of these species in this Continent. They are a source of wealth to us, as well as a delicious article of food. The summer visitor will always be attracted to our shores so long as he can be ensured good sport, as well as our fresh sea breezes.

It will be observed that the framers of our game laws have given no occasion for their infraction. On comparing the Ontario statute with ours, we see that in almost every instance we have a shorter close season. For those who may not have our laws of the year 1879, we give the dates fixed by our Legislature :— Black Duck may be shot after 10th August.

se ‘

Woodcock ' 20th August. Snipe ” * 20th August. Partridge " “ Ist October. Rabbits “ " lst September.

This Statute provides that all violations of it may be punished by a single Justice of the Peace on summary conviction, and that the fine for euch bird shot before this time shall not exceed twenty- five dollars “nor be less than five dollars.” This makes it imperative on the Magis- trate to inflict a fine of $5 at the least. But we trast chat no Magisirate would hesitate to impose the full penalty of the law ; for any breach must be deliber- ate as well as inhuman, and no excuse cap be offered for a deliberate violatioa of the law.

There is no necessity of any proof being given of the actual shooting. Our Statute requires only proof of the birds being in the possession or on the person of the offender. We trust that every honerable sportsmaa will join hands with those engaged in this good cause, and bring these sneaking poachers before the public eye and the criminal courts.

—Reviewing the work of the Legisla- lature of Manitoba, which has recently closed its session, the Winnipeg Times says that the Opposition began it with the idea that by some lucky accident they might overthrow the Government; but its close found them weaker than before, Mr. Greenway was particularly unfortu- nate, and Mr. Killam did not specially distinguish himself for fairness towards his opponents. The result of the Emer- son election and the collapse of the two scandals they sprung upon the House left the Opposition thoroughly beaten and discredited. On the whole, Mr.

—The Montreal Gazette remarks that those who remember the wild abuse which was heaped upon Sir John Mac- donald by the Globe and the Liberal party on account of his action in assent- ing to the Washington Treaty, will learn with surprise from that journal that ‘‘the abrogation of the Treaty will be very in- jurious to the people of the Maritime Provinces.”” Unless the Globe of ten years ago were simply manufactured thunder without a fact to justify them, the people of Canada gen- erally, including those of the Mari- time Provinces, should assemble in their churches and offer upa Te Duem in thankfulness that the hour of the abroga- tion of the Treaty is at hand.

Mournful Drowning Case.

DEATH OF MR. C, BAGNALL,

From a New Zealand paper we clip the following account of the sad death at Turua, of Mr. Charles L. Bagnall, son of Mr. George Bagnall, who formerly resided at New Glasgow in this Province, and. who left the Island for New Zealand in the year 1863 :—

** A deep gloom was cast over the com- munity yesterday morning by the intelli- gence that Mr. Charles L. Bagnall, of Turua, had met with his death by drown- ing. The circumstances of the occurrence, which are of a_ peculiarly distressing nature, are as follows:—On Wednesday evening a party was given by the Bagnall family at Turua, at which a large number of their relatives and friends resident at the Thames were present, having been conveyed up the river in the steam launch ‘‘Miranda,” belonging to the mill. After spending a pleasant evening it was pro- posed to return Thames-ward, but the now deceased gentleman prevailed upon his friends to wait until morning, promising to have the steamer ready at an early hour. At about six o’clock yesterday morning— just about day-break—he left his home to get up steam in the vessel, and was not afterwards seen alive. Shortly afterwards his brother, Mr. L. J. Bagnall, walked down to the wharf to see what progress was being made, but could find no trace of deceased. On the deck of the steamer was found the woed prepared for kindling the fire, as if he had been on board, but had returned for something he was needing. After vainly searching the neighbourhood he became alarmed, and roused the family and guests, who also made a fruitless ex- amination of the river banks and every place where it was supposed the missing man could be. About an hour later Messrs. G. H. Rolton and J. P. Cox were engaged in dragging around the punt, when they found the body of Mr. Bagnall lying under the stern of the vessel in about four feet of water. Rolton at once plunged in and brought up the body, which was, of course, quite lifeless, having been, it is supposed, submerged more thanan hour. Thegriefofthe friends and relatives was painful to behold, and the employes of the mail, with whom the deceased was a great favourite, added their share to the general lamentation. An eye-witness describes the scene upon the wharf as the most heart-rending he had ever witnessed. Such a sad termination to an evening’s enjoyment affords a striking commentary, and food for reflection upon the uncertainties of human life. The de- ceased was a young man full of promise, having just attained his 21st year. He was well known at the Thames, and had become a popular favourite by his winning manners, making his way into all circles. Much sympathy is expressed for the relatives in their sad calamity. How the accident happened can at present be only answered by conjecture, but the inquest to be held to day may probably throw some light upon the matter.”

An inquest has since been held to enqnire into the circumstances of Mr. Bagnall’s death. After hearing evidence the jury returned a verdict of ‘‘Accidental Death by Drowning.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Scott Act!

Sin,—Allow me Mr. Editor, through the columns of your journal to advance my opinion of the Scott Act or rather the Can- ada Temperauce Act. In the first place I would say that I am fully convinced of the necessity for temperance reform, and most certainly | approve of the strenuous efforts which have been made by temperance men to mitigate the great evil of which they so justly complain. But at the same time I fail to see the consistency in that abortion commonly called the Scott Act, when any man in business may import into the Dominion of Canada (of which this fair Island forms an important part) hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of liquors of all kinds upon which our Government collects an immence revenue to defray civil and other expenses; this being the case, then let me ask what is the natural result? Surely it has to be sold, and just as surely it will be drunk by all and everyone who may care to enjoy or destroy themselves as they think proper. There is not the least use to talk about the Act as it stands at present in any other way than this: that it is the greatest curse that was ever foisted upon a people. I mean in this way, and let me be plainly understood—that so long as rum is allowed to be imported into the Dominion it will be sold and drunk; that some men (and alas! women too) do not care to come into an unlicensed house and, in defiance of the law stand at the bar to drink, but a bottle will be purchased and taken out. In all probability, the joyful possessor of the ardent meets with a friend or two, or three, as the case may be, and all are invited by the wayside to have a drink, thus we make many more drunkards instead of one. But the evil does not rest here. Mayhap the bottle is brought home, is introdu¢ed into the family circle, the wife and the sons are induced ‘‘to look upon the wine cup,” and finally we havea whole family of drunk- ards, and all because of the denial of one glass at the public house. And this, to my own knowledge, is what the Scott Act is doing for Charlottetown at the present day. In a few words, I would say that since its inauguration there has been more injury— more strife engendered in families than its repeal will ever remedy. In a conversation with a highly respected lady a few days ago, she told me that she ‘‘was married 17 years, that she never saw her husband the worse for liquor until the Scott Act came in force. She knew that he took a glass, but never brought any home, that now it is his usual custom to fetch a bottle, and too often gets drunk,” and I believe there are hundreds of parallel cases in this city to-day, and could, if space permitted, name many more. Such being the case, am I wrong for having written that the Scott Act is the greatest curse the country could be troubled with? Now, let me say, that so faras the City Marshal is concerned, | cannot see why your correspondent of yesterday should so unfairly charge him with having given notice of his intention to inspect certain houses upon a certain day, when it is a well known fact that long before the day in question it was publicly declared by the Magistrate in open court that he would cause an immediate examinatjen of all sus- pected houses, and put down the liquor traffic. Why then put the blame on such an efficient and worthy officer without a cause ?

Respectfully yours,

SpeciaL BLenp. ——

Shortland, June 15, 1883.

A very sad drowning accident occurred at River du Loup on the 17th. The victims were three youths, one the son of Mrs, Widow Marchand, aged about 16, and the others both sons of Mr. Lord, a tailor, aged 13 and 15 years respectively. lt appears that the three boys went to bathe in the River du Loup, just below the falls, the current being very strong and the river rocky at this point. From what information can be gathered, one of the Lord boys had jumped into the river, and Marchand seeing that he was drowning, very courageously jumped into save him, when it seems that he struck some rocks or other projection, and sank almost immediatelp. It cannot be accurately ascertained how the third met his sad fate, but it is supposed that, seeing Lis brother drowning, on the impulse of the moment, he jamped in to rescue him. A fourth boy, it appears, was present, and after some delay informed his mother, who in turn made the others acquainted with the sad

news. ——_—~>—_—_
