Perhaps it is not generally known that a new law for the better presoryation of •game and'insectivorous birds was enacted, at the hist session of our Legislature, we. therefore publish a synopsis* of tbc law, as nmattor of to all,- and particularly -to the sporting* community. It is one of to every. farmer and lover of nature, and we hope the good sense of onr tntissenswill make it. generally observed. 'i|ie penalties arc quitestringent*—enough .(o make the law a terror to evil doers ; in ‘ • = -The first section provides that it shall 'not.be lawful for any person within this! Commonwealth to shoot, kill, or in any: way trap of destroy any blue-bird,: swal low,, marlin, or other anyscahon of the year, under penalty ot , two/dollars. Section sccond provides that no person shall shoot, kill or otherwise destroy, any pheasant between the hrsfc day of January . and the fpjt day of September, or any troodeooh between the first day of January mid the first day of October, in the present year, anid in each dnd every year thereaf ter, nnttertho penalty of five dollars for hacdi, and every offence. . -iSefltibn third provides that no poison .shall buy or cause to be bought, or carry 9pt of this State, for t)ie purpose of sup plying any private house or market, any pheasant, partridge, woodcock or rabbit, unless tho same shall have been shot nr taken in the proper season, as provided for in apid act, under a penalty of five dol lar for each And every offence. Seotiqu fourth provides that no person •Shall, at any .time, wilfully destroy the eggs or nests of birds, mentioned ih the different sections of this act, within this. under a penalty of two .eaoh and every offence. ... Section fifth provides that the possession, nf any person, in this Commonwealth, of any of the game and birds mentioned in the different section of said act, shot, killed ,nr otherwise, destroyed, shall be prima /acta .evidence to convict under the said aot. i Thesixth aectioo -provides that any per jsfln against Any of the provisions jof ;ttoact,andbeiug thereof convicted •befoace any alderman or justice of the peace 9^Mrd ; or by the oath or affirmation of .pore witnesses, shall, far every of fejqqe, jfoifeit the fine or fines attached to .the juone; pne-half to the use of the:conniy. un which the complaint-Is made, and the; other half to the informer ; jmd if the of- , fender shall refuse to pay said forfeiture, ho shall be..oommU,ted to the jail of the proper county for every .such offence, without bail or mainprise: Provided, however, .that such- conviction be made BO days after the committing of the offence^ ~ ; accounts received ftom tho West and Southwest of the dam age to the crops by the heavy nunis which • have lately fallen all over the country, are discouraging. More especially is this true, says the New York Journal of Commerce, of the advices received by our merchants from their: private correspon dents, §nd we notice that there is a grow ingfoeling of apprehension as to the re aidt. Pie price of corn in our market is sensibly affected by the reports, and flour, ibcgins tp advance, owing to the same danse. The season,, however, is 'much earlier this year than last, as many of our readers will remember that on the 3d of July last, overcoats and fires were in re quest. Should the weather, therefore, for the remaining part of this season, be favorable, the damage which has accrued so far, we do not doubt, will be overcome jby an increased fertility of the soil under ihe excessive irrigation which it has rc- oeivcd.

The idea was ad vanced that; the Pennsylvania Railroad Compahy Was barely paying expenses, and the failure to pay the four per cent semi annual dividend was alluded to. The following, which is credited to a Philadelphia paper, as a reply to the as sertion of Sir. Moran, President of the Erie road, that " there is no profit accru ing to any railroad in foe United States, for any business they are now doing,” seems {p .put quite a different x facc upon foe matter. The article is as follows: “ The great Pennsylvania. Railway,-that con nects this city with Pittsburg and theforweat, was last year annoyed by largo floating liabili ties—probably a million or more. This Co. has now a surplus in Book of over $400,000, and ftom its[ current receipts takes op every note as ;it falls due. With these evidences of prosper ity, this jgreat work should bo especially exempt ed from | the sweeping charge! of bankruptcy and unproductiveness preferred against all Bailway Companies, by its broken-ritai at New York.” ■; L _ : ' Violent Hail Storm. —On Monday afternoon last one of.j the most furious .storms jof rain, wind, lightning, hail and thunder passed over New York city that has been known for many years. t It was not more than twenty minutes in duration, bat within thpt time a vast amount of ;damagei was done. A church was blown down, Jfind several other buildings were unroofed) struck with lightning, and oth erwise damaged. In Brooklyn a woman was killed by lightning, and at Hunter’s Point a glass factory was demolished, two men killed and five’wounded.

A Piattobm or Hands —At a recent fire in Boston, a Mrs. Hickey was caught in the third story, and could not escape by the staircase.— She thonrwent into the room immediately under her own, and on her presenting herself at the window, the persons below called on her to take courage and observe their directions, and they would Save her. They then, to the num ber of six or eight, or as many as could join, farmed a circle, each man extending his arms horizontally, and grasping with bis right hand the right, and with his left band the left hand of the man opposite, their arms crossing. They then told her to kneel upon the window sill, and to incline her body in such a way as to free her head from the wall, and to full sideways.— All being ready, she threw herself from that third story, window! Not a man drew back from the-imminent peril to which each man was exposed ; All stood firin, and this poor woman was received in safety on the platform of hands and arms—without any injury either to them or herself.
