This is from the Times; "A hen belonging to James Hultz ot Academy, made a good fight against a bawk tbe other day. The bawk swooped down and captured one of her chickens and sailed away. Tbe hen took to her wings and flew right under the hawk. A hundred yards distant tbe hawk dropped the chicken, and the then brought it back unharmed." As it is against the law to kill bass at this season of this year, gigging parties only kill suckers and catfish.

Occasionally a bass scared or blinded by the lighl runs ashore and then it is either picked at and put back in the water, or carried along by the fisherman to prevent its dying on the reef. This is similar to the observance of the deer law, when persons during the closed season, do not kill deer except in selfdefense, that is, to keep the deer from running over them. Highland Items.
