Game. - We are glad to perceive that the citizens of Bucks county are giving heed to the preservation of game. The last two winters have been fatally destructive to the partridges. Few of that fine species of bird are to be seen, and if sportsmen attack them now, there is no doubt, but they will rout them completely, and a roasted partridge will become as rare a matter as mammoth steaks. We hope there will be a general forbearance with reference to the partridge. Let us encourage their growth, and we shall be paid by purchasing them, a few seasons hence, at fifty cents per dozen. - Phila. U. S. Gaz.
