Root, at the corner of Chapel and Day streets, New Haven, who had been unwell for long time, took an overdose of laudanum on Friday, from the effects of which he came near dying.

THE GREAT PIGEON RoosT IN ULSTER Co. pr. Bloss, Dr. Camp and Justice Conway returned on Friday from trip to the great pigeon roost in Ulster county. Dr. Camp told press reporter that to reach the roost it is necessary to go by rail to Rhinebeck, 60 miles, cross the river to Rondout and go by rail 36 miles to the village of Big Indian, thence by conveyance 10 miles to the top of the Catskills, where the roSst is situated He says man from Massachusetts has fol- owed the pigions from Michigan to Penn sylvania, and from thence to Ulster county, and intends to keep up the trail to Canada He pays fifteen cents d dozen for "squibs, 7 which are young pigions not old enough to fly or leave tue nest Men cut down the trees and so get at the nests. s' s'SQuibs :" make, it is said, a very delicious morsel Dr. Camp says it is impossible to extermi- nate the pigeons as they are so numerous. The Trojans remained for two days and shot about two hundred pigeons, which they brought home. They encamped while on the hunt beside splendid trout stream, and had a very enjoyable trip.-TheY recom- mend the plgiOn roost to Trojans as just the place for hunting spell.-Iroy Press.
 A citizen in this village has been ''swing- ing around the circle in the pigeon region, and says it is really marvellous to contem- plate the vast myriads of them. This ap- pears little out of the ordinary course of things, as has been their custom of late years to establish their roosts in the forests of the far west, but to locate in the East after their long sojourn in the West was hardly expected.

International Peace Jubilee.

The great Peace Jubilee is to commence no doubt that 1t will be the grandest affair of the kind on record in the history of the world. The chorus will number 10000 and the orchestra 2,o00; besides the lead. ing vocalists from all parts of the country who will sustain solo parts. A great fea- ture will be the presence of Johan Strauss, the great composer, with his orchestra of fifty pieces. Some of the best military bands of Europe are coming, and nearly all the best military bands in the country have thus far been engaged, the number in- cluding besides the leading Boston bands, Dodworth's of New York, Downing's Ninth Regiment band of New York, the Marine band, of Washington, the American Brass band, of Providence, and Colts full band of Hartford, The great labyrinth of lum- Der which attracts the attention of railroad travellers to Boston, is spreading and rising hour by hour and day by day, under the busy hands of eight hundred carpenters, triggers and laborers, and no doubt exists of the completion of the great coliseum in time for the opening of the jubilee. Ex- tensive arrangements for the accommoda- ton ot visitors are being made by the bu- reau of accommodation, and the good peo- pie of Boston are responding handsomely to the call made upon them. Among the Connecticut societies to be represented iu the great chorus, is the Salisbury Choral Union of Lakeville, organized in March, 1869, The following are the officers pres- ident, G. B. Burrall secretary, F. c. French; treasurer, Dr. H. M. Knight con- ductor, D. F. Stillman.

 which of course accounted for his perfect abandon of care. On his return from Mill lerton that evening, (where he was proba- bly, sent to get him out of the way for a little while,) he was met by his brother merchant, Roberts, who succeeded admira- bly, in detaining him from his house, till all was in readiness to receive him, by talk ing about the price of salt. &c.,, Sc, and where twas best to buy, and all that sort of thing. After being released by Bro. Roberts, (and he said he was tempted to tear himself away before he did go, as he was as hungry as two bears, having had no supper he entered his yard and as he did so, thought there was rather more distur- bance about titan usual, but to use bis own words, he said, "he did not Ae,a smell a rat" Getting into the house he of course was not long in making up his mind that something was up;" as was evident by his appearance. Standing there with his white hat, Che is a Greeley man, in one hand, and eyes starting from their sockets with amazement, he was indeed a picture for an artist. Truly enough, he "was overwhelmed by everybody" as all hands seemed to be there, and as they had brought provisions of course were going to stay awhile. They knew it was the twentieth anniversary of the wedding of MT. and Mrs. Jones, and had thought best to call on them and inform them of the fact, bringing with them an abundance of China ware, which they neglected to take away with them. Is friend Jones to be blamed for feeling good. natured last Wednesday forenoon when we called on him? If we were in his place, don't believe we should complain much, if the anniversary of our twentieth wedding day came two or three times a week.

Yesterday Wyandotte man appeared
at the Detroit q Milwaukee depot with
large mirror under his arm, and while
waiting for the train he sat the mirror
down against the seat. A big dog, owned
by saloon keeper, wandered in and soon
caught sight of the ugliest and meanest
dog ne ever saw, reflected in the mirror.
He arched his back and rolled his ewes.
and the otherdog lid the same. He showed
his teeth and lifted his back little high
eer and the other dog followed suit. At
length, angered beyond control, the dog
gave a howl and jump, intending to get
the other dog by the fore paw. There
was smash and crash, time of ours
ing and kicking, and the Wyandottei
went to see the Chief of Police about hay
ing some one shot.-Detroit Free Press.

1t will be remembered no doubt by
most of the readers of this paper that at
a Republican mass meeting, held at Ply
mouth, which was addressed by Ben.
Wade, Banner was awarded to German
township, by the Committee for sending
the largest delegation to that meeting.
The committee not being able to procure
the banner at the time of the mass meeting
at Plymouth. No aims was afterwards
spared to procure one of the richest and
most costly banner ever brought into
northern Indiana, and last Thursday eve
ming was made the occasion of the formal
presentation, and reception of the prize.
which was an occasion long to be remem-
0ered by the Republic ms of German
township. When it is considered that
German township is one of the strong
holds of of the Democracy in Marshall
county and the. e.township least expected to
receive the prize, 1t produced an effect
long to be remembered by the Republi-
cans throughout the county.
The bearers of the prize from Plymouth,
were met 2 miles from Bremen, by the
committee of reception, which, on the
part OF the gentlemen, consisted of Chris
tlan ochilt, DR.. Stenge and Jacob Walter.

O'Clock, p. NJ, the committee met at

was filled with spectators to witness the
formal presentation and acceptance of the
gift The meeting was called TO order by
Mr.. Stenge, and John ]. Wright, ESQ,
was appointed to preside; who, upon tax
ing his place briefly stated the object of
