A WICKED PRocEEDING.-For some years past
Thronrose Cemetery has been made vocal with
the sweet notes of pair Of Mocking Birds and
their offspring, much TO The pleasure Of those
who visit that sacred spot. For the past two
years the nest has been robbed of its young, and

been shooting these beautiful songsters. We ut
ter our condemnation of this ruthless proceed
ing. 1t is q rare thing to have Mocking Birds
build in this locality and they should be pre-
served. We call the attention of parents to the
destruction Of these charming singers and to
use their parental influence to prevent it-per-
sons of discretion, we would fain believe, would
not be guilty of the wanton destruction of the
Cemetery songsters.
