A DOVE SToRY-A gentleman of this city, who has
dove cot at his residence at the West End relates the
following incident as having occurred last week In the
cot were male and female dove and two SQUADS The
male SQUAD having died. the elderly dove drove from his
nest his female mate promoted to his bed and board the
young female squad. Finally, upon occasion when
the female appeared at the door of the cot the male sail
ed out, pecked at her and drove her away The pere
cuted mother flew down to perch below, where, with her
head under her wing she remained for short time ana
then fell suddenly to the ground The inmates OF the
house who had witnessed the proceeding Immediately
went out and asceraned that the dove dead but no
wound was found sufficient to cause death. Possibly
she died of broken heart from the brutal treatment
her false and tickle mate--BoS0n Traveller.

OFFICIAL INTEGRITY.-In the United States Assay
Office, under tie management of S. F. Butterworth,
esq., an instance of this nature has recently been deve
oped which is well worthy Of notice. The law allows
the meter and rener accounting in pure gold for the
raw gold nrusted to him for refinement credit OF two
dollars in every thousand refined for wastage During
the past year the bullion worked up at the Assay Office
of New York amounted to upwards of $25,000,0O0 on
which, at the above rate the meter and rener was ent
tied in rendering his account, to claim allowance OF
$5OOOO but instead of doing So he has just passed his
account arithot any deduction for scaste. Not only
does this furnish the best evidence of the integrity of that
officer but it also shows how thoroughly competent he is
to discharge the duties of his office and how perfectly
he must have organized the machinery used In the rein
ing process.-JourYaal Of Commerce.
