quite succession of *'warm rains," iutcr-
spe,6ed with glorious sunshine. They were
truly "growing rafns," and were worth to
the people Of the West at least ten millions

weather here, we have no doubt but the

from the soil are greatly improved thereby.

NovEb:-We clip the following from the
description of the burning Of Barnum' 5
Museum, New York.
"a number Of the birds which were Gagged
in the upper part of the building were set
free by some oharitably inclined person at
the first alarm Of fire. At intervals they
few out. There many valuable tropical
birds-parrots' Of all sizes and manifold COL
ors. parroquets, cuckatoos. mockiug birds.
h umming birds, &C., as we'll as some vul-
lures and eagles, and one coudor. Great
excitement existed among the swaying
crowd in the streets below as they took
wing. There were confined in the same
room few serpepts, which also obtained
their liberty. Bursting through the cen
trail easement, with flap Of wing and lashiug
coils, appeared an eagle and serpent
wreathed in fight. For moment'they hung
poised in mid.air, presenting novel and
terrible conflict. At.leugth the fat head Of
the serpent sank, his form grew still. and J,
waited upward by the cheers Of the gazing
multitude, the eagle, with a scream of tri
umpb, ana bearing his prey in his iron tall
ons, soared towards the sun.
