BsG' Dickens story of "Our Mutual
Friend" is to embody much of those ex-
traordinary developments of fraud and
villainy known to the public as the
Roupell case. Dickens was acquainted
with the son during his dazzling, fashy
career, and is said to have been pros
pecting," earnestly in the neighbor-
hood where the paternal scoundrel
lived and laid the foundation of his
wickedly acquired wealth. What a
subject for him! The reception of
stolen goods on a scale to which Fa-
gins was a nothing; a "melting-pot'
always ready, incitement to crime, for
gerry on forgery, prohigacy, extrava-
gance, mesh of intertangled villainy
which the law has only partially un-
raveled-here be materials for 'sen-
saton novel" indeed Dickens can no
more help drawing from life than an
artist-or caricaturist. Hasit occurred
to anybody that to his early legal train
ing may be owing his way Of going in
to n subject ?-LoHd0n Letter.

SPARE THE BIRDS The blithe, cher
ry little feathered songsters who have
been spending the winter in warmer
climes, are fast returning to our fields
and woods, and are ushering in the
spring with sweet carols. Their delight
full music is dear to every lover of ma
ture, and every such person bids them
hearty welcome. Not so, we are
panied to hear, rude boys in some To-
calities, who are pursuing them with
murderous guns and shooting them in
wanton sport. We hope there are
few cruel enough to indulge in such
brutal pastime. but wherever there are
such, the law should at once be invoked
to stop their merciless slaughter.
Not only are lovers of birds, as one
of the pleasantest features of country
life, interested in this matter, but the
farmer, whose pecuniary success is
greatly affected by the presence or alb
sence of the birds. To the farmer they
are of incalculable value in destroying
millions of noxious insects that would
otherwise play havoc with his crops
In one of the districts of France, few
years since the birds, by mistaken
J policy, were all killed off. The con
sequence was that the farmers crops
suffered severely from the depredation'
of the insect tribes. The people, dis
: covering their error, set to work to re
} stock their fields and woods Will
birds, prohibited the shooting Of them
, and in time the insect pests wer
thinned out. 1t is not only cruel blu
serious injury to agriculture to shoe
5 the birds. We have stringent law
! on the subject in this State and the
, should be rigidly enforced. Spare tn

The suit was brought against the Adams

against them at the sum of so,
All the receiving clerks are indicted and

not of depreciation. - Nesc Albany
Ledger,
This sending of rebel deser;ers into
our State is a growing nuisance, one
which calls loudly for abatement.
Hundred of those tired of fighting in
bad and failing cause, come here and
are the noisiest and neanest Copper
heads in the State, others are prepared
for any desperate adventure, and turn
robbers and assassins.
Those who are truly loyal to the old
flag generally enlist in the army, while
there are others who settle down and be-
come good, loyal, industrious citizens.
There should be a discrimination
made. We have enough bad men, ma
tive-born and legitimate emigrsnts, and
do not want the worst off sloughing Of
