It hos been noticed by oil whose at
tention has been called to. the subject,
that tho glorious birdemimica Of the
South are rapidly disappearing from our
midst. A mocking birds nest is con-
sidered public property. aud the young
ore invariably taken from it as soon as
discovered. Sent to tho North by hun
dreds. they sell Mt high prices. and the
demand is even greater than the supply.
In few years, unless something is
done to prevent the vandalism. the race
will become extinct, and tho sweet matin
and vespcr notes of these wonderful
feathercd songsters be no longer heard
about our homes. Wo hope that the
next Legislature will pass m Act to put
q stop to the robbery, aud impose q fine
uponi all persons who catch or shoot
aockinR birds. .

The mechanics barbecue, yesterday,
was II particularly pleasant affair. The

holiday.

not yet returned their personal property
to do 80 at once, and save the penalty OF
