Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

On Friday the 4th instant, about 700 men of the neighboring townships, formed a hunting party. The signal for proceeding was given on Frenchtown Mountain, which was answered by all the horns of the hunters, comprising a circuit of 40 miles, in the space of 15 minutes. The hunters then progressed towards a centre in Wilcox township; shooting and driving the game before them, until the circle became too small to use guns with safety; the animals were then attacked with bayonets fixed on poles, clubs, pitch-forks, etc. with success that nearly 300 deer, 5 bears, 9 wolves, and 11 foxes were killed. It was calculated that 500 deer, 10 bears, and 20 wolves escaped, together with a great number of smaller animals. The expedition was attended by many circumstances highly interesting to hunters, and closed, as usual, with great mirth.
