AN CNwELCOME VIsIToR.-Hr. Editor: With
your permission, i will relate circumstance
that occurred AZ my house last night which may
interest some of your readers, "a well as suggest
a caution that may be of use. We have had in a
cage a valuable canary bird, which We some
times placed on the window sill, inside the win
dow, when night came on, with the window
down. 1t was in this situation last night, in the
second story of the house, with dim light in
the room. About O'Clock a slight noise, as of
something thrown against the glass, was heard
and was supposed to be boys in the street,
throwing at the bird. AS it continued at inter-
walls for an hour, probably, a close watch was
observed, and it was discovered that bird out
side was darling az the window. The sash was
then raised, with the view Of letting il fiy into
the room, as it was supposed to be some harm
less bird, only seeking perch with the one in
the cage. Soon there was another dart at the
cage, and in q second the canary was in the
claws OF vicious night-hawk. The screams of
the little victim evnced the effects Of the attack
upon il and upon fastening to the cage IL was
found lying weltering in blood and in the ago
nies Of death. The hawk, after pausing an in
slant On the top Of the cage, dew away.
