The editor of the Sporting Magazine, in his last number, gives the following advice, which may not be considered ill-timed, as on many large estates not a single Partridge survived the great snow of last winter:-
"Partridges—It has been well suggested to put the question to all farmers and liberal sportsmen, whether it is not highly expedient to forbear the taking of partridges altogether for the ensuing season. By that means only can the ravages of last winter be repaired. No genuine lover of the trigger will draw one upon a partridge this fall. For ourselves, we are determined not to buy or taste one until the fall of 1832."
