GAME IS SOARUE nuniers are pientitui, out game is scarce. A few days ago as we were going towards Scranton in the eveuing, more than twenty hunters, many of them with dogs, boarded the train. There was no triumph ant exhibition of strings of birds or rabbits, and no loud boasting of prowess as a huntsman. Every man came in quietly and took his seat, and had very little to say. As the new arrivals entered the cars they were closely watched by those already iu for some indication of a successful day, but not a man peeped, and we doubt whether there was a single bird in the whole bunch, The general complaint is that game is scarce.
