meadow lark, are not to be killed at any time.
Wild turkeys, ratriges, pheasants, prairie
chickens, wood cock or wild deer, are not to
be killed after the 1st of February, under a

named. Remember, hunters, as you value
your own sport and the preservation of the

A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
| mercial, relates the following incident, which
occurred at Oxford, Ohio, q week or twe
since a 5s3-.aIE .t.
The escape of Miss Sailie E.. Moore, from
the College, is unparalleled for daring, and
seems almost miraculous. She roomed in the
fifth. story. and returned the second time TIC
her room for some books OH opening her door
she discovered that the hall was dense with
smoke, and the stairway was in flames, and all
means of exit in that direction hopeless
Closing her door, she deliberately tore the
bed clothes into strips, knotted them together,
and tying them to her bedpost, she hopefully
stepped from her window and made a success
full decent TO the ground, a distance of As feet.
We could hardly believe when we saw this
spare, young girl, that she was capable of such
a heroic action, but she thought it was not
so wonderful, after all. -
