An Irshman whose name our informant d id

the liquor pawned portion of his clothes. To-

overcome by liquor and the cold he stopped and

would preach the mans funeral that night

time very large crowd was in attendance.
The lecturer with the poor Irishmans corps be
fore him, spoke of the evils of intemperance with
such feeling and effect that the excitement of the
crowd, when he quit, was intense. As soon as
he was done, it was proposed that committee
of the oldest and most respectable citizens of the
place should wait upon the men, Messrs. Roauet
and Russell, who had sold the liquor to the un-
fortunate man, and ascertain what terms thew
would sell out and bind themselves never 10 sell

mill that used on that occasion, and although
it was larger than Leavitts, that he used, yet we
were compelled to grind with that size in order
to make the draft equal to his, as they were both
worked by the same horse; and if it costs S66
instead of $40, we will warrant it to grind four
times the quantity of corn that his can be made

The ApierYx.

The only specimen of this most singular bird
which has yet come TO the knowledge Of the or
nithologis, was brought from New Zealand IN
1919. 1t is single skin with the bill and feet
attached unmutila,ed. and in a very good state
of preservation The length of the bird is about
two feet, and about 8 inches in circumference in
the largest part. The feathers the top of the
head and forehead are short but they increase in
length they proceed downward over the body.
But the most remarkable feature about the bird,
If bird it may be called. is that is entirely desti-
tue of wings; and as other specimen has ever
been seen. it is reasonably supposed that a race
SO defenceless has already become exterminated.
In late paper is an engraving representing

in explanation, clearly giving the impression that
