CURIOUS PLACE FOR BIRDS Nest.
The Salem Gazette relates that blue
bird built nest in one of the ventilator
boxes of car on the South Reading
Branch Railroad, which travels regularly
fifty miles every day, but is laid up every
night at South Reading. The bird in due
time deposited her eggs, sitting upon them
regularly at night, but not of course when
the cars we're in motion. Last Thursday
three young birds were Matched, but. un-
fortunately, picnic on the following day
required the use of tae car, which did not
make its customary stay at South Read
ing on that night, and two of them died
in consequence of a lack of attention from
the mother. The third, however, is liv-
ing and doing well, although the employees
on the road have occasion to turn the ven-
tilator with a slam many times daily. The
old bird has been seen, perchei on the
branch of neighboring tree in South
Reading, with a worm or insect in her
mouth, awaiting the arrival of the train
with her lonely child on board. The little
is now called bird of pas
safe" and is thought 70 be the most inter-
esting and welcome 4" dead-head" that now
rides over the road by the season.

A PLEASANT REUNION few months
after the breaking out of the war in '6l, a
party of four ladies and four gentlemen
were dining together at Delmonico's.
During the dinner, in talking over the ma
tional affairs, the gentlemen, one and all,
solemnly agreed TO volunteer and serve
during the war. The ladies were very
enthuiastic, and promised to do all in their
power to help the good cause. They then
signed a document, agreeing, if they lived
through the struggle, to meet at the house
of one of the ladies on certain day, hour
and year, and their relate their several
experiences. The day named for the re-
union was the 14th of June, 1867, when
they all assembled together Cnce more
Two of the gentlemen had been promoted
ON the field for bravery: one was a Col
onel, and the other Major. The remain
ing two had both been wounded, one hav-
ing lost leg and the other an arm. AS
for the ladies, one was married to the gal
liant soldier who lost his leg, he having fall
len in love with her while she was nursing
the wounded in the hospital; another was
engaged to the Colonel, and the third to the
gentleman who lost his arm. The fourth
young lady and the Major assured the rest
that they had arranged TO live single the
remainder of their lives. The evening
was delightfully."- passed in listening to the
many thrilling and few amusing adven-
lures each had gone through-Home Jour-
nal.

burn, Me-, Clifton Harris, the negro, gave
in his testimony on Wednesday. admitting
his own participation in the crime, but ac-
cusing Verrill, the white man, of being
the instigator and chief actor. The crime
was proposed about 10 o'clock on the
night it was committed. Harris demurred
at first, but afterwards assented, and about
~ o'clock the two men proceeded to Mrs.
Kinsley's house, where they gained en-
tranceby Harris squeezing himself through
a small window in the shed, and opening
door for VerrilI. Harris then went out
side for his boots and some clothing he had
taken of, and the rest Of the story is told
in his own words:-
When / came back Verrill had his
boots and coats off and was y ing on she
lounge. / laid mine on the lounge. Ver-
rill had hatchet that was lying on the
lounge. There was q little light which
two windows gave, one window on the
front side Of the house and one on the
back side of the house. From these win

The recent political conventions in four
or five States afford cool index of the
feeling Of the people on the questions of
the day. The democrats have no policy
at all, or, to copy the language of their
former admir-. r, Gen. Longstreet, they'pre-
sent sothing tangible that has not already
been condemned. They grumble inces-
sanity, deny Bercely, and Object hopelessly
but as for embodying any live principle
applicable to the exigency, they have done
nothing of the kind for long while. The
Republicans, on the contrary, as will be
seen in the gatherings in Pennsylvania,
Maine and elsewhere, are as explicit, prac-
teal and determined as they were when
the war brought out plainly the issue be-
tween those who were for the country.
and those who we're against it. They are
for thorough enforcement of the recon-
struction policy Of Congress. They are
for the seassembling Of that body to fortify
it, acts against the undermining as
eaults Of tue Executive, and to insure the
contamination Of equal rights and the pre-
dominance Of loyalty at the South. They
heartily endorse the action of Gen. Sheri-
dan and are resolved that none Of the
District Commanders shall suffer an
abridgment os their powers. In short,
they mean that the righteous results in
volved in the triumph of the Union over
treason and rebellion shall lie worked out
to the very end.
Congress, therefore. will have little diff
Guilty in understanding the expectations of
the people with regard to its approaching
session. Its main purpose will be TO COM
plete the policy already adopted according
to it's original spirit and purpose We
know Of only one consideration that is in
danger Of interfering with he discharge
Of this duty. That is the suggestion wheth-
er the Improvement Of tone and manner
evinced by President johnson on his two
last trips southwark and northward may
not warrant partial return of trust 10 his
disposition to treat Congress fairly. To
this the voice Of the people returns an
emphatic no. This alleged improvement
is nothing thus far but the suspension Of
abuse. It may be the beginning of wis
dom, ind II may be only an artifre. Con
fidence is plant Of slow growth All
Congress has to do is, avoiding everything
like unnecessary aggressiveness toward
the President, to assume nothing moro ia
vorable from that quarter than heretofore,
and to go straight forward in the course
already marked out. making the peo-
pies reconstruction policy complete, sure
and impregnable on all Substitution

Their instruments have near approach

which the tone responds when key is

GIVE THE PRrsrrRs Fan Play.

GIVE THE PRINrERs FAIR PLAY
We have a piece Of advice which we wish
to impress firmly and indelibly upon the
public mind, and that is, to give the print
ers fair play. Do not forget that il costs
something to puff as well as to advertise,
and never sponge upon printer in any
way whatever. 1t is the printers ink
that makes nine-tenths of our fortunes; it
takes money to buy ink, type and paper,
and yet, after all this, few are the thanks
the printer gets. Give the printer fair
play, and give up all hopes of gratuilous
putting. &c. Daniel Webster was mighty
near right" when he remarked of the
press, " Small is the sum required to pat
ronize a newspaper; amply rewarded is
its patron. care not how humble and
unpretending the gazette which he takes,
it is next to impossible to fill it without
putting into it something that is worth the
