ercl errors occurred in the new advertisement
of r. w. Lyman & Son, in last weeks paper,
in one of which the types made us say: "Es-

the operations of agang of boys armed with
clubs, stones, and bows and arrows, who were
negaged in the cruel sport of pelting and kill

est notes and build their nests in the branches
OF our dooryard trees and on vines of porches,
preferring the familiarity with people to soil
tary life in the lonely woods One has par
ticularly favored US by building its nest near
our bedroom window, and during the past
bright spring mornings our first waking senses
have been greeted by its cheerful and happy
notes giving US the poets beautiful imaginery
