OFFICE ALEXANDRIA WATER co.

~ May 18th, 1872.
The unprecedented early commencement of
general and severe drought has excited the ap-
prehension Of short supply of water, and calls
for preventive measures on the part of its oth-
GERS to provide against al unnecessary waste by
consumers.
1t is the earnest request Of the President and
Directors to heads Of families that no unneces-
sary waste shall be permitted, and that servants
and children shall shut off hydrants as soon as
possible when used.
Especial attention is called to the use of wash
pans and bath-tubs, both fruitful sources ofwaste.
The rules and regulations of the Company,
under its charter, provide fines and penalties for
any aud all unnecessary a0nste, and it becomes
the imperative duty of the officers, especially
under the condition of a scant supply, to enforce
these wholesome regulations upon all offenders.
A deficiency of this indispensable article to
housekeepers induces us to hope that we shall
be sustained in our efforts to prevent all a0aste,
while furnishing all parties with necessary
supply for domestic purposes.
my l3-w2m r. II. MILLER, President.

TEACHING BIRDS This is done in
the town Of Fulda, where they keep regular
Educational a Institutions for bullfnches They
Mace the Young birds into classes of six to ten
each, and keep them In the dark, turning lit
tie hand organ for them when they are fed.
Finally, the birds commence to associate the
music with the feeding, and when hungry they
commence to sing few notes Of the tune they
hear daily. Those who do this are at once
placed in more cheerful room, when light is
admitted. This encourages them and makes
them more lively. Then they like to sing, and
are taught more. The most difficult part is
the first starting of the birds, some Of which
have to be kept long time in the dark and
on starvation rations, before their obstln3acy Is
overcome. In order to teach them several tunes
they receive latter being first taught In olasses)
private instruction from the little boys OF fulda
each of whom has few private pupils OF this
sort Their education lasts nine months, When
it is completed, and the birds sent into the
world as accomplished performers The prln-
cipal markets are London, Paris and New York
They are valued in Europe at 500 for every
tune they sing, SO one W no can sing three tunes
costs $50. In New York they bring even more
than that.
