' Amos Strouse, Collector of Winslow Township. Red squirrels are about the Wbrsl characters of the woods. Thoy are mischievous, destructive and always on tbe warpath against birds in the nest and the peace of quiet forest folk. It is no great matter if they are shot. But the grey squirrel is a very respec table, rather ponderous and dignified member of tbe family, and it is too bad to shoot him entirely out of the country. Those who own land where they are should make an effort to see that they are not all slaughtered at this season. Franklin Ettmng Newt.
