A CURIOUS INCIDENT.--The Nash
Vile Banner relates the following: A
very curious incident, illustrative Of the
power which can be exercisedlpver the an
incl creation by kindness and careful
training occurred but d few days ago at
Scottsville, Kentucky. The sister ofefi-
Ger Harry Mansfield, of this city had rais-
eb a mocking bird which she taught to
come and go at her call, aud which, in
return for all the kindness bestowed upon
it, exhibited peculiar fondness for her.
Last Monday week Miss Mansfield was ta-
ken i'll, and to while away the tedium of
the sick room, she had her little pet
brought to her bedside, and day and night
| 1t cheered her with its sweet carols, bring
ing to mind many happy thoughts of field
and meadow, sunshine and song. AS
her illness grew more alarming, and day
after day brought no relief from suffering,
the warblings Of thelittle songster rather
served to annoy than please her, and
so turning weariiy on her pillow, she said
to him, birdie, hush, you worry me-"
Strange to say, the words seemed to be
understood, for Immediately the soug was
hnshed, the bird retired within himself,
as it were On the next day the lady died,
leaving. as it would seem, a 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.

if his horse was gentle enough for his
wife to drive, as she wanted to ride the
