was to select trees which were filed with
birds and fire into the mdst of them a:
near as we could: it being dark no pre-
else aim could be taken. but looking up
we could distinguish the dark tree tops
sufficiently well to get an aim On
firing at mass of them they would fly
a short distance and settle again, but as
there were plenty of trees filled with
them, we did not have to run many steps
to get another shot. After every shot
we could hear the birds fall amongst
the universal din, some on the ground
and some in the river. We kept firing at
intervals until midnight, when we gave
up and returned into camp to await for
daylight to pick up the game.
Shortly after daylight, on going over
the ground where they had roasted. it
had the appearance Of having been Wis
ited by a tornado; numbers of trees
with trunks foot or more in diameter,
which grew in a leaning position from
the sides of the mountain. were broken
off near the ground. while thousands of
limbs of all sizes were split from the
trees. This great noise and confusion
continued until three o'clock in the
morning when all became hushed and
silent as death, save now and then the
howl of the wolf, the bark of the fox
and the scream of the wildcat, which
hold high carnival on the OCCASION
Shortly after daylight in the morning
the 'locks commenced reforming. and
started off on their morning foraging ex-
peditions, which extend to hundred
miles or more in every direction, to re
turn in Ike manner as before. This
roost was continued about two weeks,
when they moved off to the north
Near its close it was almost impossible to
enter upon the ground .hey had occupied
in consequence of the m,nure which not
only covered the ground but every stick
and bush. On going over the ground iu
the morning to collect the birds we had
shot during the night. we found many
that were killed and MANNED hy the fail
ing timber. How many We had killed
could not be ascertaiued, as numbers fel
into the river and were carried down the
stream. We brought out, however, 53j
birds, which were as many as we could
carry, While searching
about in laurel thicket for the dead
birds, We came across a pile of peck or
more of gizzards, which had been left
there by some "varmint,' probably
wildcat, which did not appear to relish
them as food.

END OF A MURDERER.
Execution at WilliamspOrt.

WILLIAMsPoRT. March 22.-This be-
ing the day appointed for the hanging
of Lloyd Britton, for the murder of
Jacob Bay, quite an excitement was
manifested among the citizens from an
early hour in the forenoon.
A large number of people. including
many negroes who had been acquainlances
of the condemned man, gathered around
the county Jail, within whose walls the
hanging was to take place.
The family of the doomed man took
leave of him last evening, when his spir-
i;ual advisers appeared and remained
several hours. He retired at l o'clock,
and slept soundly until five o'clock this
morning. when he arose and partook of
his breakfast, and set about preparing
for his death with great GOODNESS. He
even joked with visitors about the deputy
sheriff going to put rope around his
neck. As the hour of execution ap-
preached, crowds of people assembled in
front of the Jail, and the sheriff was
overwhelmed with applications to wit
ness the sickening spectacle. About one
hundred and fifty were admitted into the
Jail yard, including members of the press.
Britton partook of his dinner and then
smoked his pipe leisurely. .e
At 1885 o'clock the sheriff came to
his cell and informed him that he was
ready. Britton signifed that he was
also ready His arms were then pinlon-
ed and lie walked to the scaGold, assisted
by two white ministers of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who asce nded with
him. .-
The sun was shining brilliantly. and
he cast hurried and last look around
him. Prayers were then offered, aud
the moose was adjusted. He was asked
if he had anything to say, when he re-
piled that he did kill him. Within three
minutes of one clock the drop fell,
when the spirit of the criminal was with
its God. His neck was not broken, but
in ten minutes he was dead. aiH

A REMARKABLE BOY.

Farmer Bogles was veracious old
codger. If there was anything he de.
lighted IN, it was to secure the attention
of some one while he spun yarn about
the wonderful cuteness of his boy, Tom.
Tom was his idol-his hero on every oc
casion-and never would the old fellow
let his hero suffer for want of romance.
"Ah! !'' said Bogles one day, as he had
fairly fixed his auditor. Tom is the
most remarkable boy you ever set eyes
on he's like his old dad-you can't no
more circumvent him than you can a
woodchuck. You recollect that choice
apple tree tha. stood down under The hill,
beside the stump fencey Well l was
mighty saving Of them apples. can tell
you l forbid Tom touching em, as
they brought high price in the market,
and every one told, but he would get EN-
/ in. spite of me. 1t was his way, you
know, and all possessed couldn't stop him.
One day caught the young scapegrace
up in the tree, stuffing bis sack with the
fruit, and | determined this time to pun
ish him for it. ....
Thomas, my son." says, l, 'your
father is callin' ye-come down. .a
/ l thought Id be sort of pursuasive, so
it would fetch him but he sInelt the rat,
and didn't bulge an inch
al can't dad said he, "these pesky
apples are in the way"
"Tom,' l continued sternly, for my
dander begun to rise, ''come down this
minnit, or l II cut down the tree and let
yer fall"
You see my poor limbs wouldn't per-
NIT my shinnin after the boy, SO 1 had
TO take other means.
"Oh, no, you went. dad says Tom i;
'oiIy think how you'd mourn if ye
couldn't sell these apples to stuff the old
ioad-skin.'
That was too much, to have my own
boy accuse me of being such miser-
So what does | do but git the AK and
cut away at the bottom of the tree.
Tom, Thomas | cried, as the tree
was half cut off, viii ye come down now
and save yourself
.Never mind, dad," says he, Il amt
spiiin'."
1t ives no use, couldn't bring him
that way; SO l chopped away on the
tree till, at last, it begun to sway and fell
to the ground.
"What and crushed your boy ?"
calculated his Mortified listener.
"Not by a long chalk" replied old
Bogles, winking knowingly. You
couldn't come it over Tom in any such
way. What had he done but crawled
out on a limb, and while | was chopin
at the bottom of the tree, he had been
cutting off the limb with his jack knife,
and when the tree fell there he was still,
up there on the limb"

HeaviBg the Lead.

The steamer Fanny was coming down
the upper Mississippi, loaded with pig
lead. As she was going over shoal
place the pilot gave the signal to heave
the lead. The only man forward at the
time was green Irishman.
why don't you heave the lead p
ais it to heave the lead your honor
Where to
"Overboard, you blockhead.'
The lrishman snatched up one of the
pigs of lead and threw it overheard; the
mate, in endeavoring to preyent him, lost
his balance and fell INTO the river
P The captain running to the edge of
the deck, asked "Why don't you heave
the lead and sing out how much water
there is
The lead is heaved, your honor, and
the mates gone down to see how much
water there is," responded Pat.

A GEORGIA PIGEON RO0ST.
The Whole Sky Darkened for Miles With
A Pigeon Tornado.


A letter from Clarksville, Georgia, to
the Germantown Telgraph, contains the
| f,llowing graphic account of a Georgia
pigeon roost which it would, seem eclips-
e the kentucky roost:
This roost occurred in the month of
February; the place selected by the pig
j cons was on the banks of the Chattooga
river, near the confluence with the Tu-
gallo, on the eastern line of this county.
| vhere the mountains rise alb ruptly on
either side; a wilder and more inacces-
sib e place could not have been found in
the United States, Our party consisted
OF four persons, all armed with good
double ba rreled guns ard mounted on
morse Dack. We started about three
O'Clock p. m for the roost. After ford
ing Tngalo we skirted along the break
neck sides of the mountain until we came
within half mile or so Of the beginning
of the roost, which extended over an
area of some five miles or more. Here
we were obliged to leave our horses and
take the rest of the trip on foot. The
,un was now about half an hour high.
and the pigeons had just begun to come
in. AS we were high up on the side of
the mountain on the west side of the
river, our position was an excellent one
to see the innumerable flocks as they
poured over the mountain tops into the
valley As we did not wish to enter the
roost until after sunset, We remained an
hour or go viewing the immense host of
birds which no man could number from
east to west, north and south they came
in focks of all sizes, roaring and rushing
through the air. whirling and sweeping
in every direction.
1t beirg our intention to go near the
centre of the roost and spend the night
there at camp prepared by an old hun
ter of the neighborhood, we started as it
begun to grow little dusk, leaving our
horses securely tied to saplings As our
camp was on the east side of the Chat
tooga we fOrded it on foot, and soon en-
tered the edge of the roost, where there
were myraids of pigeons and myraids
still coming from every direction. As
we were bound for the camp which was
still mile distant. the difficulty was
how to get along, as the numbers on the
trees were so great that there was con-
slant crash of the limbs breaking from
the trees, making it hazardous to skulls
and limbs to pass under them. To
move the pigeons out of the path we had
to resort to firing volleys among them
which had the effect to move them so
that we could pass along with safety
An amusing incident or accident occur
red to one of our party who was walk
ing by the side of the writer; bis name
was George Gable; he. had a pretty
large talkative mouth usually more or
less open, and as it was now early dark
and the pigeons flying in every direction
from the breaking of the timber, one
came like bullet directly into Georges
mouth. and killed itself outright!
After reaching camp and resting
awhile, W. divided into two parties and
began shooting, and all we had to do

THE MOTHERS VISION.
BY MARY A. SHELTON.

BY MARY A. SHELTON.
A mother sits in darkened room,
Weeping and mourning amid the gloom,
For there at her feet in his cradle bed,
Lies the shroudcd form of her early dead.
To and fro she rocks in her grief;
| 80. woe is me! IS there no relief
For my breaking heart? o, God in Heaven
Why take away what Thou hast givens"
A glorious ight illumines the room,
That moment before was wrart in gloom ;
An angel stands by the cradle bed,
Smiling down on the beautiful dead, i-
Hush the vision speaks "Mortal, tits not fal
See the pearly gates are standing ajar;
With the eye of faith thou canst almost see
The faieless realms of Eternity"
The river of life as it murmurs along.
Echoes in gladness this angel song
Free, free from earth,
And its wild alarms;
Safe. safe in Savior's .-
Loving arms. r..- a..'rr
Mother, dear mother, .....H
Bend to the rod; s. o..
Your little darling
Is safe with God.
Music 80 sweet, ..H
.... o, mother dear.
Was never heard
By mortal ear.
With a white robed throng.
Hand iii hand, ...
He roams the fields
OF this beautiful land.
Dark clouds never sweep
Ger its azure sky,
Nor wintry winds
Rush angriIy by %
Call him not back
To earth's bleak shore,
Where tempests rave
And wild waves roer."
With a smile of love the angel fed,
The mother eazed on her sleeping dead,
Then raised her eyes to Heaven above.
Saying. Father. forgive my selfish love.
AID gude my feet in the psth to Heaven,
While pray, each sin may be forgiven.
Resigned, | bend to the chastening rod.
For know my treasure is safe with God
