Give Everything a Chance.

To ie iiditor of the Hraminer.

cir,—It is now the 8th of August, and not a (f intended using the words ‘solitary’ duck, but | like to be strictly exact and just, and I ain toll a few lachael-like ducks are heard quacking around the ridges, mourning for the broods that are noi) tlock of ducks to be seen inany marsh within twenty miles or there- abouts trem Charlottetown This may appear Strange, and perhaps a litile surprising to those whe are under the impression that a game law existed here regulating the time for the coumencement of the duck shooting to the [5th or 20th of August. No doubt those few are misinformed, as some leading men on the Bench and in the Bar, tho’ national pursuers and makers of law, have been out duck

shooting. The hunting propensities of their forefather’s strongly impressed in them

nothing of the pot hunter about them, charac- terized by their British manly love of field sports and fairplay. ‘Give everything a chance” is their motto, especially in shooting parlance ; and they act up to their principles squarely. Why, before English dogs and im- proved breech-loaders were imported, in the good old days of the old flint piece, our sports. men might be seen, about the middle of June, along the edge of the woods, an old flint in one hand and a basket in the other, hunting for wild ducks’ nests; and they seldom allowed any eggs to escape, so quick were they with hand and eye; and if they missed the old duck on the nest with the first grab, they lay hidden in the bushes till she ilew around again,and lit on the forsaken nest, when the old drum-bass went off, and so did the duck; but a skilful shot generally secured the whole family. This was hardly giving the ducks a chance, and, truly, was duck shooting in its infancy. ‘*'Temora Mutantne.” Our Nimrods of the present day, wait a month ionger. They believe in the old Saxon pro- verb, ‘‘ Give everything a chance ;’ and co about the middle of July, with English dogs, a brave or two (they call them setters, ignorant countrymen like myself would call them catches) and the “‘ latest gnap action” guns invest the marshes, where thelittleducks, greatly enjoy their strange, new existence, flap around the ponds—mark the difference in this modern duck shooting. If the keen and perhaps somewhat excited sportsman missed with both barrels as they run along the grass, and if the impartial dog are lazy and can’t catch them— if neither shot nor caught—they certainly have the chance of diving down in the pond, if they reach it, and helding on for dear life to the bottom; and have a chance to escape if they do not hold on too long, which is generally bad for them. I do not intend to make myself the apologist for unlawful shooting, but fair play is fair play, and if our sportsmen do not ack before the law allows, and if they give the ‘birds a fair chance that is all that is required; and 1 merely write this letter to correct the general impression that they are breaking the law or come under the general designation of pot-hunters. Yours, etc., COUNTRYMAN. Aug. 5, 1878.

PRINCE COUNTY. Showing the White Feather.

—_——

The Grit party in this County are show- ing signs not only of weakness and disafiec- tion, but also of being utterly demoralised. When spoken to on the subject of ther eandidates, a leading Grit will exclaim : ‘*Oh, Yeo and Perry are not our men. We are going to get out better men than these. Howlan and George Sinclair will be our candidates. transparent humbug / We have the author- ity. of Hon, Senator Howlan for stating that-he dees not intend to be a candidate at the coming election; that he has uo sympathy whatever with the Grits, and, further, that he will use every means in his power to, secure the. returm of | Messrs. flackett and Howatt.. How. conld, it be otherwise! The Grits might as well put forward Mr. Pope as theirman. No man who is not in sympathy with the Davies- Stewart combination can at-all support. the candidates put forth by the same clique in this,County... We havereason to. believe that Mr. George Sinclair, also, has no sym- pathy with the Grit cause, as represent- ed, here by Messrs. Yeo and Perry. How, then, are the Grits going to get Howlan and Sinclair to ren in their in- teresis, instead of Yeo and Perry! The

‘| Gtits must think very little of the men they

have now in the field, when they wish— likea jockey with a worthless horse—to ‘“‘swap’ at every opportunity. They can have no hope of succeeding when they want to ‘‘trade candidates” at this juncture. The maxim, ‘‘Never swap horses in crogsiny.a

by the Grits. They imagine that they can swap candidates as easily as Mr. Yeo swaps oxen. This talk of getting out other men instead of Yeo and Perry is all moonshine. No man possessing a particle of honor or judgment will accept a nomination from the Grits of this count. They mmst stick to Yeo and Perry, even though certain defeat stares themin the face. Yeo and Perry have not been asked by anybody to become candidates, it is true, but then they have the approval of Messrs. Davies, Stewart and Calhoun, and the Grit voters must ac- cept them. Davies and Stewart know who should represent the electors of Prince County better than the. voters themselves do. Itis, therefore, unnecessary that any- body outside of the Local Government ciique should be consulted in regard to the
