a Thinking ,Cauary.'

A friend Of ours is in possession
OF 4 canary, which we think is as
wonderful bird as the old lady's
hen, who observed the Sabbath by
declining to lay eggs on that day Of
the week. ,.'i. ' 1"'.r .
This canary is a remarkably fine
singer, and from sunrise 10 sunset he
makes the neighborhood joyous with
his melody. His owner was un-
fortunately subject to sick headache,
and suffers 80 seriously that he ia
obliged to lie in bed during the at.
tack. ... -....,-,
The last two or three timos he
has been obliged to Knock un Ter to
the malsdy. Charley has been per-
fectly mute mot a note is heard; he
sits moping ON his porch, and mo-
thing can indnceihim TO sing; he
takes his food, and washes himself
as usual, but won't even chip
As soon, however, as his owner
leaves his bed and speaks to him,
no expresses his pleasure by jump
ing from perch to perch, and then
pours fourth volume of melody TO
denote his qualification, which makes
the room ring again.

Outdoor Air aud Sunshine.

A writer in ono OF the medical
magazines, argues that the. more
outdoor air and CHEEKY Sunshine a
man can use, tho longer he will live.
Go along any Of the fsshions 5le

and you will find not less than three,
often six, distinct contrivances to
keep out sunshine and giadness. -
First, the Venetian shutter on the
outside; secpld, the close shutter on
the inside, then there are the lace

SAW MILL ED-INcENDIARTsM-Sk Skill
mans mill. situated on the Alpha road, and
about mile this side Of that place was burned
between 10 and IL o'clock, last Sunday night
The fire was set in the hay-loft of stable i'm
mediately adjoining the mill. Mr.. McWerthy,
who slept in the mill, was in the stable just pre-
viOus to going to bed, TO take care Of the hor-
ses, and closed the stable doors as he left. Du-
ring the night he was awakened by noise, and
ON looking out saw that the upper part of the
stable was cnveIoped in flames and both doors
were wide open. He succeeded, with the as
sistance of some other men who were working
at the MILL in getting all the horses ont of the
stable, but one OF them ran back and was con-
sumed in the flames From the stable the
flames soon communicated to the mill, which,
together with 300, 900 feet of lumber, was de-
stroyed. The loss is stated at about $50 600
Some 200 900 feet of lumber which bad been
placed short distance from the mill, was saved.
The mill had not been running the day before,
and there was no fire about the premises. There
is no doubt that the fire was the work Of an in
cendary.
