CATCHING FOR MARKET.
TRAP SHOOTING.

Shooting pigeons from traps is an excit-
ing trial of skill, and in addition to the
regular contest at the convention, we hear
of some private matches that will undoubt-
eddy prove interesting. At the regular
convention, outside shooting is prohibited,
as it would be dangerous in a crowd, and
the police will be in attendance to see this
regulation enforced. On ordinary occa-
sions stray fellows are posted around to pop
at any birds that have escaped the regular
shooting. Any guns can be used, with all
the powder that may be wished; the
amount of shot, though, is limited to an
ounce and half to each charge.

INITIATIVE POWER IN BIRDs.-So strong
is the initiative power of,birds, that a ca
nary who had been taught to pipe, having
heard a chaffineh that daily sung in tree
near hewindow where the cage was hung
learned his note in a few days, emitting al
that time the air he had been accustom ed
to sing. At the end If that time, after
having been removed, from the neighbor-
hood of the chaffinch, heresumed the air as
before. A nesting nightingale also learn
ed the notes of a hedge sparrow that sung
near it for want of other sounds to initiate;
and it was extraordinaryto hear the gentle
although agreeable MARBLE of the latter, at
tuned to. the full compass and power of the
nightingale. The effect was most pleasing,
although of course not equal to the natural
notes of this bird, not one, Of which he re-
tanned. Indeed many birds are almost, il
not entirely initiative and in defanlt of hear.
ing the parent bird, borrow notes of others;
billed birds always prefer the song Of
soft billed birds, and oice oersc. It is hoped,
from what has been said on this subject,
that persons who are in the habit of keep
ing Gagged birds will be induced to educate
them in the manner suggested. Then
instead ofhearing the shriI, deafening natu.
raj notes of the canary, they viii be delight
lighted with those Of the nightingale, The
black-cap, and other warblers. "They will
then breathe such sweet music out of their
little instrumental Threats, that itmay make
mankind think that miracles are not ceas-
ed" SO said the good Isaac Walton.

/ "a The MileauEee Wisconsin, relates the follow
ing touching story;sA few days since We
tne-pe1wink-a pretty Bird, daughter of
Dandy, head chiefofthe Winnebago nation,
WAS at the depptatiLa Crosse, accompanied
! by her twoi fatherless children. While
fawaiting the arrival of the train one of
them got upon the track of the coming train
as it was nearing the depot Seeing It's
danger, the mother, regardless of her own
life, sprang forward and snatched the child
| from the very jaws, of death. She threw
| the. little one upon the platform, but it was
too late to save herself The rushing loco
motive caught her blanket, and threw her
Eupon't the track. The wheel caught her foot,
ran over it, crushing the bone to atoms, tear
ing off the flesh and making frightful
wound. The bone up to the knee was splin-
tered. Such aninjury could not but be ex-
TcruciatinGly painful, yet the Indian mother
with wonderful nerve drew her knife from
her bell, and cutting off the loosely hanging
flesh, washed the limb and bound it up with
her ownhands, refusing all assistance. Mr..
Moore says that not q feature of her counte-
nance denoted the intense agony she must
have suferd. during the operation.
A physician of La Crosse, arriving at the
depot and examining the injury, said that
the foot must be taken. off at once to save
the life OF the woman, but the Indian de-
clared that it should not be amputated, and
asserted chat she would prefer death to be-
ing deprived Of a limb. Modification be-
gan to spread rapidly in the forenoon of
the day when she gave up hope ofrecove1y.
soon after, with the most mournful cadence,
she commenced chanting her death song.
The plaintiye notes could be heard clearly
by the villagers below, and the news passed
rapldlyfrom house to house that the daugh-
terQf the Cbiefwas dying.l3 Indians flocked
up the lhilland filed her wigwam. Her
strength still remained, and she raised her

METHusnLAH DnowNnD IN THE Floor

METHusELAH DROWNED IN THE FLOOD.
We make the following extracts from
an, article contributed TO the Louisville
Democrat: =
All we know of the origin Of the earth
or our race we learn from reveiation.--I
The chronology used by tfaecivilized world
is founded on TIE dstes turnishea ls in the
Bible. We reckon the date Of the flood
from the dates found in the 9th chapter OF
Genesis. We learn from this chapter that
Adam lived before his son Seth was born
1870 years; Seth lived before his son Enos
was born 105 years; Enos lived before his
SON Cainan was born 80 years; Cainan lived
before his son Mahalalul was born 20 years;
Mahalalul lived before his son Jared was
born IS years; Jared lived before his son
Enoch was born 16e years; Enoch lived
before his SON Methuselah (687)a was born
IS years; Methuselah lived before his son
Lamech was born 1877 years; Lamech lived
before his son Noah was born 1872 years.
Noah, hence, was born Ammo Mundi 1856.
In Genesis 7th chapter, 9th verse, we are
informed that Noah was 500 years old when
the flood of water was upon the earth.la
Add 600 years (hisage) to 1866. the date
OF mis- DirJn, ana we. nave i,656, tile date Of
the food. We learn from the 27th verse;;
9th chapter of Genesis, that aall the days,
of Methuselah were $50 years, and he died.
By reference to the foregoing table it win
be seen that Methuselah was born Ammo
Mundi 6S7 add his age $50, to 687, the
date ofhis birth and we have ], 1856, the time
"when the food of waters was upon the
EARTH" The conclusion is as certain as
figures that the oldest man was drowned for

PRESIDENTIAL PARDoNs.-HOwever
Republicans may find fault with the
President for deserving his party,
they can not justly accuse him of de-
serting his friends, the counterfeiters.
Even in his political death-struggle,
he does not forget them. Indiana is
now blessed with his attentions in
this particular. CHARLES A. Nor
GAN, who was tried at indianapolis
at the January term of the District
Court for passing counterfeit silver
half dollars, and sentenced to six
years confinement in the Northern
P~enitentiary, IS one eff the latest re-
cipients of Presidential favors. His
pardon cites that MORGAN has served
out FIVE months of his sentence, and
his general good behavior as the I'M
p%eIling causes which influence the
Presidential mind to a full aud IN
conditional release. The Indianapo-
lis Journal says the shockingly ner-
vous writing with which q" ANDREW
JOHNSON is affixed to the paper, on
the 18th Of April, is either suggestive
of Executive whisky or Executive
impeachment.
