The MocKING BIRB's SoNG.-A very
curious incident, Illustrative Of the power
which can be exercised over the animal
creation by kindness and care full training,
occurred but few days ago( says Nash
vile paper, at Scottsville, Kentucky.
The sister of Officer Harry Mansfield, of
the city. had raised hooking bird,
which she taught to 60 and come at her
call, and, which, in return for all the
kindness bestowed upon it, exhibited a
peculiar fopdness for her. Last Mon
day week, Miss Mansfield was taken i'll.
and to while away the tedium ofthe sick
room, she had her little pet broughtto her
bedside, and day and night it cheered her
with its sweet carols bringing to mind
many happy thoughts of field and'meadow,
sunshine and song. a S her illness grew
more alarming, and day after day brought
no relief from suffering, the warbhngs
of the little eongster rather served to annoy
than to please her, and SO, turning weari-
ly on her pillow, size said to him, Birdie
hush, you worry me- Strange to say the
words seemed to be understood, for i'm
mediately the song was hushed, and
the bird retired within himself. as it
were. On the next day the lady died,
leaving, it would seem, command Of
silence upon the bird, which will never
be broken, for although several days have
elapsed since, and every effort has been
made to induce him to sing, he refuses to
respond with song to any lips but those
of his once loved mistress.

3E.,s Rom. Y. CoNRAD of Winchester

Hon. RoBT. Y. CONRAD of Winchester
Va, has written letter in reply to d
humber of prominent citizens Of Frederick
county, in relation to that feature of the
Funding Bill which enables the holders
Of coupon bonds for the next thirty -four
years to intercept the taxes, before they
reach the State Treasury, to the extent
of the en- tire amount of tire interest on
the State debt by making the coupons re-
celvabIe for ali taxes and also as to the
ability of the people to bear any increas-
ed burden and what remedy can relieve
them from any necessity to increase the
present taxes. Mr. Conrad fully approves
Of the general feature in the bill which
admits HE legal obligation of our State
to pay the whole debt; but gives it as his
opinion that the people are in 10 condi-
ton, atfhis time, to stand such tazatlon
as viii yield sum sufficient, not only TO
pay the entire interest upon the funded
debt, but also the current expenses of tho
State Government.
The provisions in the I'd Section Of the
lct,making the coupons payable to bearer
anorecicvable, at and after maturity, for
all taAs. &C.. he says, compels the Leg
dsature.Sa their tax bill, TO provide for

ths provision vas ineAoedient, incautious-
ly adopted, and tends toirnposc burden
too heavy to be borne by usat this time,
aud makes the following suggestion
The remedy then which | wou1 sue
gsst, ia order to make this law practica-
bic, and consistent with the safety of our
Comm 90 wealth is Gu act repeating Of
modifying this feature, SO that the rev
enue arising from the present rate Of
taxation should be sufficient to carry on
the government, the current expenses of
which should be reduced to a proper
maximum. and the surplus paid equally
TO the public creditors; the knot must be

Reputation.
-aassily M,raias, August, II, 1877

We have felt indisposed to discuss the
question of reputation in Cur columns
We cannot see how an honest MN can
repudiase just debt. We would apply
the same rule TO individuals and to the
State. We have too much conide nee In
the integrity of oar people to believe
that they would Sanction, even were it
practicable, the reputation of either
public. or private debts. For ourselves
we are opposed to repudatisa. frst' be-
cause we believe it dishonest. and second
", because we believe it would ruin the
credit and prosperity of the state. An
argument urged by soma, is that it IS a
choice between bankruptc y and repudia-
ton. We do not believe it, but if 1t 49,
we prefer honest bankruptcy to dishonest
wepudia ton.

A S1NGURAL CASE OF Fraud From
the N. Y. Herald, August 10. An ex-
traordinary scene was witnessed yesterday,
in the Newark Police Court. II lawyer
named Isaac H. Norton, fifty years of
age. and Of very respectable connections
was arraigned on very petty charge of
fraud-that of endeavoring to pass a
punched ticket oil one of the conductors
of the Newark and New York Railroad,
Mr.. Augustus Gardaer The ticket he
tried to pass was found 10 have been
punched twice, and the holes sdroitly fill
ed with pasteboard. The accused made
a clean breast of the matter, and said he
did not know what possessed him 60 do
such thing, only thatshis wife had been
reading about such dodge On the pre-
ceding evening. Mr.. Norton formerly
belonged to Belvidere, New Jersey. He
has latterly resided in Park street, Newark
but has not practised his professional con-
sequence of ill-health, for some time past.
He was held to ba il for trial in $500. The
penalty for the offence charged is two
years IN State prison, $500 fine, or both.
The accused was terribly effected at the
position he found himself il, and dec Jared
that if he was putin the cell he would
surely commit suicide. This threat he
made to his bondsnan, Mr.. Isaac S,
Greeland, ofNewark. After being liber-
ated he declared that it was no use fer
him to live, and be reiterated his threat
on his own life. Subsequently he pro-
eeeded home with his wife, but sudden ly
d disappeared from home, and it is feared
ere this he has carried his threat into
effect.
