A GREAT TIME IN DANBURY.

The fremcn had parade on Saturday.
1t was fine affair, but the absence Of
Mr.. O'Clarcncc was deeply felt, not only
by the department, but by the public.
lis long and faithful services at the
business meetings and festivals, and his
splendid bearing on parade, have given
MIR. O'Clarcncc an cnviablc position in
TIC hearts Of his countrymcn. We are
sorry he was not present Saturday. But
an unlocked for and very painful accident
deprived him and Us of Il great pleasure.
The night which preceded the last
anniversary Of our nationalindcpcndencc,
he took home twenty-five do lars worth
of fireworks for Il srlurgc on the next
night. lie calculated he had glory
enough in that package to fill with
gratitude and admiration every taxpayer

fully examining thc::Iot, was equally con-
fidcnt the ncigbors would make their
eyes bung OUT" as she pcnsively cx-
pressed it.
The next morning O'Cl. renee got ont
the bundle to look it over again and feed
on the anticipation. There were there
cannon crackers-scveral packs-and
roman candles, and bluc-frc, and pin.
wheels, and rockets and the likc--a very
crcdi,ahlc assortment for any family.
Mr.. Wickfards boy from the next house
was in, and sat on the floor holding
piece of lighted punk in his hand, and
had both his eyes and mouth wide open
enjoying the sight. O'Clarcnce was
sitting on his launches, holding pin
wheel in his hand, explaining to Mrs.
O'Clarcncc how chcaply they could be
made in China, and how superior in
ingenuity and industry were the Chinese
to all other races. None Of them know
how it happened, but O'Clarence re-
members that there were two open packs
of cannon crackers just under him, and
thinks Wickfords boy must have in
some way dropped the punk in among
them, and in the general interest forgot
thatit was atirc.
At any rate, there was sudden hiss
right under Mr.. O'Clarcnce, followed in
the next instant by i tornado Of sounds
and sparks, and that gentleman at once
shot toward the ceiling in u blaze of va
rious colored lights, while the air became
thick with sparks bluelights, blazing balls

and sereeching crackers. Mrs. OClar-

Will a Bird poison its Imprisoned
Young.

1t has often been asserted that birds
which are allowci access to the cage
where their young are confined, after
waiting until they are old and strong
enough to fly, will then destroy them if
they fail to make use oftheir wings.
This has been tested of late i'll our
city. Two boys anxious TO rear Il brood
Of young mocking birds, as soon as they
were fiedgcd, placed three of their num-
der in large wire cage, which was sus-
pended from the bough of tree near
the original parent nest.
The old birds were quickly on hand
and greeted their young with most cX-
travagant demonstrations of joy. Soon
they began to bring them worms and
grasshoppcrs and other food, and once
the female actually pressed the door Of
the cage open and shared for a brief
season the captivity of her offspring.
Restored to liberty, she resumed her ma
ternal ministrations, and for near a week
the little birds seemed happy and con-
tented and in Il thriving condition. The
parent birds continued most assiduous
in attentions, and the boys were sure Of
a bcvy of sweet songsters which they
hoped to dispose of at round sum for
pocket money. ,
But alas for this hope. The old birds
disrusted and diSheartened at the tardy
progress their bantlings who had been
SO tenderly watched over and provided
for, resolved to punish them even unto
death, for their culpable neglect Of this
patient training. Accordingly, as is
supposed they administered the fatal
poison which stretched them all lifeless
on the floor Of their prison. .--Wacon TEL

asked for in which to carry out the
provisions of the act for the redemp-
tion of lands held by the government
in the county. We hope the asked for
cxtention will be refused by Congress.
We certainly shall use every effort to
prevent any extention. In place of it
we shall urge the commissioner to give
the whole subject of the direct tax sales
and the consequent complications
little more of his attention.
Our people have been looking for
ward to the expiration Of the two years
fixed by the act with great pleasure
The occupancy of lands and town
property by the United States has
been an unmitigated nuisance. Espe-
cially has thus been so in the town.
The houses have fallen from one stage
of dilapidation to another until they
have become dangerous to the health,
lives and property ofeur citizens. No
improvements can be made upon ad-
Joining property because of the filthy
eondit' IN of the government ruins, the
disgusting character of their inhabi-
tants and the danger from fire. lnsu-
rance is increased in cost to neighbor-
ing properties and in some instances
refused at any price. When the prop
erty is rented no sanitary regulations
can be enforced by the town. The
outhouses and yards may be ever so
filthy but of they are cleaned it must
be at the expense of the town.
No improvement is possible until
The United States divests itself abso-
lutely of this property. Every inter-
est in the community suffers by long
er continuance of the occupancy Of the
general government, and every inter
est will be, we hope, exerted to bring
it to a speedy termination.
The difficulties in the way of redemp'
lion are mainly those which would dis
appear before an earnest desire to sur
mount them. If the business was Civ
en- to the hands of a man who wished
TO speedily settle it instead OF being
left to the charge of clerks who go
about it in the regulation style Of
Washington bureaus, learned in the
modes "How not to do it," the time
is ample to return TO the former own
ers every piece of property to which
any claim will ever be made. There Is
much oft so cut up that it is valuable
to no one. If the time was extended
for fifty years there would still remain
enough for clerks and officials to cor
respond about and draw salaries for.
Let the books aud records be sent
here. Let the orders be TO aid and not
retard the wolk Of redemption. Let
the act of congress be obeyed in the
spirit in which it was passed, instead
of the modes Of the Circumlocution
Office. If the wo,k cannot be done as
contemplated by the act, instead OF
asking for more time, let q new act be
passed simplifying and providing for a
more speedy method. Above all, let
us have a settlement, and let the United
States get out Of the real estate hasl-
ness

CANADIAN WILD GERsE.-It has been
stated on reliable authority, and we
know it to be correct. that the Canadian
wild goose has frequently been domes-
ticated. It's interesting to note with
what persistency it retains many of its
original characteristics. even under the
influence of domestication. The color,
for instance. is unchanged, even when
bred for many generations in confined
state. A prominent characteristic Of the
Canadian wild goose which has been re-
tanned under the longest term of domes-
tication to which it has been subjected,
is that it will not breed until it is three
years old, although it attains its full
size in about three months.
Pairing generally takes place in the
autumn of the second year. five or six
months before the laying season, and
we have heard of cases where the site
for the nest was selected by the young
couple many months in advance of the
time when it was actually-appropriated-
The male is monogamist-at least he
chooses but one mate at time. and the
union is seldom voluntarily dissolved.
The female lays from four to seven eggs
in season-one brood only being rear
ed. Every egg is almost certain to be
hatched and every gosling to be reared.

THE REWARD OF a GENEROUS ACT.

THE REWARD OF A GENEROUS ACT-
Forty years ago an old man now living
in Gambia, N. H., then young man
living in Chester, working at his trade,
"a COOPER, saw young woman sitting
on stone by the wayside weeping Bit
terly. He kindly inquired her trouble,
and she told him she was trying to get
from Boston to her home somewhere in
New Hampshire. She had walked the
distance thus far, was tired, hungry and
moneyless. The young man took her to
his boarding place, had her taken care
of for the night, fed and rested, and the
next day gave her money to pursue her
journey. Years rolled away, bringing
with them care. labor and eventually
old age to the man. while the girl pros
pered. married and became wealthy.
Recently she died in New York, leaying
fortune of $4,000 to be divided be-
tween four individuals, this same man
who befriended her so long ago being
one of the fortunate parties.
