The EAR OF BIRDS NOT TO BE
DECEIVED.

The sense of hearing in birds is singu-
larly acute, and their instinct leads them
Instantly to detect the slightest variation
in the song Of those of their own kind.
The following is a laughsble instance Of
this:
A bird-catcher, wishing to increase his
stock of bull6nches, took out his Gagged
bird his lined twigs, and placed them in
such situation of hedge and bush as he
Judged favorable to his success. It so
happened that his own bird was one of
education, such as is usually termed q
piping bullfnch. In the first instance q
few accidentally thrown out natural
notes, or calls, had attracted three or four
OF his kindred feather, which had now
taken their station not far distant from
the cage There they stood in doubt
and curiosity, and presently moving inch

CURIOUS, QUAINT, AND Rare.
POWER OF FASCINATION Il
SNAKES.

Some animals are held in universal
dread by others, and not the least terrible
is the effect produced by the rattle-snake.
MIR. Pennant says, that this snake will
frequently lie at the bottom of tree, on
which squirrel is seated. He fixes his
eyes on the animal, and from that
moment 1t cannot escape: it begins a
doleful outcry, which is so well known
that passer by, on hearing it, immedi-
ately knows that snake is present. The
squirrel runs up the tree little way
comes down again, then goes up and
afterwards comes still lower. The snake
continues at the bottom of the tree. with
his eyes fixed on the squirrel, and his at
tention is SO entirely taken up, that q
person accidentally approac 'oq may
mako considerable noise, wiE5et so
much as the snakes turning abo It. The
squirrel comes lower, ard at las, leaps
down to the snake, Whose mouth is
already distended for its reception. LIE
Valiant confirms the fascinating terror
by scene he witnessed. He saw on the
branch OF tree a pecies of shrike tremb-
ling as if in convtilsions, and at the
distance OF nearly four feet, on another
branch, large species of snake, that was
lying with outstretched neck and fiery
eyes, gazing steadily at the poor animal.
The agony Of the bird was SO great that
it was derrysi # the power of moving
away, and "le' one of the party killed
the snale, il was found dead upon the
spot-and that entirely from fear-for
on examination, it appeared not to have
received the slightest wound. The same
travelier Sdis, that short time afterwards
ne observed small mouse in similar
agonlzing commissions, about two yards
from a snake, whose eyes were intently
liked upon it; and on frightening away
me reptile, and taking up the mouse, it
expired in his hand.

by irch, and hop by hop towards him
and the fatal twigs, they again became
stationary and attentive. It was in this
eager and suspended moment that the
piping bullGnch set up the old country
dance of "Nancy Dawson" Away flew
every astounded bullfnch as fast as wings
could move, in such alarm and confusion
as bullfnches could feel and they only
can venture to describe.

IN THE VALLEY.
By HENRY ABBEY.

The long and narrow roofs, meath whose con-
fines
No dweller wakens Though tho rains weep
Though winds, the mighty mourners, DER the
spot
Go unconsoled, the inmates waken not
Along the unbusy street my way keep,
Between the houses tenanted by death,
And seek the place where lies my friend asleep,
Alien to this the life of light and breath
And here his grave, o'ergrown with heliotrope,
Makes recollection seem as sweet rs hope
For he, my Friend, was gentle, wise, and true;
Pleasant to him beggar's thankful word;
He spoke no i'll of others, and he knew
And loved clear brooks, green dells, and flow
er, and bird;
And now he flowers strive to return his love
By growing here his humble grave above.
Tears have no courage wherewith they may cease,
And God my grief is oft misunderstood.
In tears / made complaint of his decease
Whom Ihad loved, for he was young and good;
made complaint that He who rules on high
Should suffer here the young and good to die
0 Death! the warder at the gates of time,
For evermore to those thy hinge swing wide
Whose hope is flown, whose souls are stained
with crime
Give way to all who are dissatisfied
With their recurrent days, and long to cease;
Swing wide for such, and to the old give peace.
But close and bar thy dolorous, black gates
Against the good, the beautiful, the young,
Whose lamp of hope their life eliminates,
Whose harp-like souls for highest strains are
strung
D warder, Death! give way, swing wide for SIM
But close. and bar, and keep the good within

Mr.. Leppelman, by some hook or crook, obtained
a few of the New Wilson Sewing Machines for the
purpose, no doubt, of putting them in bad order,
and Offering them at reduced prices, simply to con-
vince people that they are not as good as the
Domestic. We will say to everybody, that the
New Wilson Shuttle Machine Is now acknoTled to
be the best Machine in the world. Every part
of the machine hereafter viii be ease-hardened,
and can never wear out. 1t viii do all kinds Of
work better than any other machine that is made.
The company are now enlarging their manufaetory
to a capacity that will enable them to manutae-
ture two thousand machines each week. This has
become necessary in order to supply the rapidly
increasing demand, which is the best evidence OF
the popularity of these machines. Their factory
is now the largest in the known world. Any per-
son having the New Wilson Sewing Machine Of
fered them by NJ. Leppelman, or any other agent,
for less tEan the regular price, $45, will do well to
buy them, no matter if they are in bad order, or
if they do not work at ALL just buy them and bring
them to me, and VIII put them in good running
order, free of charge, and warrant them for five
years. Twill give the COmpany's warrant. They
are worth million of dollars, which will make
their warrant rather better than mine.

Is it True.-Fremont is without a tenn
perance organization of any kind. True, but
after all there may not be pressing demand
for temperance effort and influence in this
city. We have not over forty places where
liquor is publicly sold, in exchange for the
money that should buy bread. We see only a
few men reeling along our streets, every day
goaded on by the lash of the tyrant rum. Only
now and then q kind arm is stretched forth to
draw the drunkard from the filth of the gut
ter, into which he has sunk in helpless stupid
ity. Only few OF the youth of the city are
contracting for ruined characters, desoIate sur
roundings, and drunkards grave in the fu-
ture Only few homes are made desolate
by drunken fathers, whose presence Is terror
instead of comfort. Just few of these, prob
ably not enough to cause anxiety in the minds
of parents for the safety of their children. If
there is it is not apparent.

Runaway.-On Tuesday last as Tschumy

the depot, with wagon loaded with lounges,
the horse became frightened, and started to
run when near the corner of Main and Garri-
son Street. Without any regard for the con-
tents Of the wagon, it came tearing down Gar
rison Street to Front and turned up Front at
full speed. The driver was thrown out, strick-
ing on his head and hands, receiving severe in
jurias. The horse was stopped near the rail-
road. No damage was done to the horse or
wagon, but lounges were scattered promiscu-
cuously along both Garrison and Front
Streets.
