...Sportsman has failed to make its appearance for the last six weeks or more. We hope that the expense attendant upon its December improvements has not compelled the editors to discontinue it.

If this easy game should cloy on the overfed appetite of the sportsman, and he should sigh for a crack at the more hardy fowl which brave the storms of our rock-bound coast, the Gurnet and Mamamet points would afford the desired opportunity, where "thousands of millions" of birds of passage daily pass...
