When the hunt first started they were so numerous and tame that every throw of the drag-net would land two or three- Now they roost so high nights and fly np so far away day times that it is a rare event to seonre one. There have been about 11 landed np to this time. These are the straight faots though the metaphors are mixed. Anyone in need of a Stomp Poller oall on C. A. Roberts, agent for The Moniroh.
