As this Is the season w hen phenom enal killings wilt bo made, and as the law prohibits killing for other than the hunter's own use, we may sug gest that any account of a large kill ing, (accompauied by a bird neatly wrapped up, bo as to conceal It from public view, and left on the editorial table,) will bo duly published aud no questions asko i about how the bird got there.
