An Infant KiIlea by Jealous
Parrots.


IA Paris correspondent furnishes
The following to the Philadelphia
Press: Two young married peo-
pie, d nj. and Nine. Chalban, who
occupied the second floor Of 4
house III the Rue dos MONIES, at
Batignolles, were the fortunate
possessors Of a fine infant two
weeks old, and also Of d pair Of
splendid blue and scarlet parrots.
Recently the young couple quilted
the room for short time, leaving
tie child asleep iii The cradle and
the two parrots sitting on their
respective perches. When they
returned, what was their horror ia
beholding theparrots perched upon
The sides of the cradle, and en-
gagged ia tearing the face 81 the
helpless baby with their powerful
beaks.
The father, in the first excess Of.
bis fury and distress, killed the
two birds, but he was too late to
save his child, who died ia few
hours from the wounds inflicted
upon it. 1T was q fortunate cir
cumstance thatit did not survive
its injuries, ais it's eyesight had
been totally destroyed. jealousy
i supposed 10 have been The mo-
tive that impelled the parrots To
this unusual act Of ferocity, as,
before the birth Of the infant.
they had been much petted and
caressed, and since that time they
had been comparatively neglected.

Thanksgiving Dinner.

The gentt6manly prOpretOrs OF the
Nelson House gave their bOard9rs and
invited guests IA magnificent dinner on
Thanksgiving Day. II has been my
p6":di fortune TO partake of many good
dinners on this great naJion%i' tiAaStlng
day, and having from my youth been
blessed with a good appetite, capable OF
sampling nearly everything that is set
before me, l consider myself judge.
am satisfied every one that was present
at the dining will bear me witness in
saving that this dinner was all that the
stomach could possibly desire. l will
not attempt to give a chill of fare" but
will simply mention few of the good
things. First: Oysters-stewed, fried,
roasted, steamed, raw, etc. Second: Tur-
KEY, dressed with oysters; and, blythe
way, finer bird never graced table,
although, as Uncle Tommy says, rather
an inconvenient size for one to handle;
roast beet, pork, la ub, brOiled ham,
vegetables of all kinds, celery, sauces
and pickles of all sorts and descriptions,
jellieS; in fact, this course embraced all
the substantials imaginable. Third
last but not least-puddings pies, cream
putfs. egg puffs, cakes, plain and Orna-
mental, and-well l will not enumerate
farther; suffice it to say the dinner was
a success, and with the little time / had
to gaze about, should judge every one
else thought as 1 did. The gentlemanly
and efficient steward, Mr.. Stanley
knows his business. He not only su
perintends everything, but when il
comes TO making extra desserts aid or
namenting cake, he stands at the head.
The proprietors are very fortunate in
having a steward proficient in his du-
ties, He was absent one day last week
and must not forget to compliment his
substitute. He sailed around the din-
ing-room with great alacrity, also with
grace and elegance, paying particular
attention to the lady boarders. Every
thing is o. X. at the Nelson House, and
if YOU don't believe it, Dock Choate will
convince You of the fact il you will call
on him. ROARDER.

SPRING HILL ITEMS.

Rev. r. g. Irvine, the former popular
and greatly beloved pastor of the Meth
Odist church in this place, made a visit
to his friends here last week, and by it,
vitatlon OF the pastor, preached on Sab
bath, to an appreCiative congregation.
one OF those practical, able and interest
ing sermons, which be never fails to de-
liver. No man was ever more univer-
sally esteemed and beloved both by
saint and-sinner, than this faithful, Ia
bOrious and truly evangelical minister.
There is general wish that he repeat
his visit at an early day, when the
weather is more favorable, that he may
have full house, and that all may have
the opportunity of hearing him.
In our last weeks items, in alluding
to the lamented J. Newton Porter, the
types made US say that he was the
brother of the venerable Mrs. Cheairs
when 1t should have been the venerable
Mrs. Caruthers. This is not mentioned
by way of complaint of the printers, Tor
considering the illegible cbirOgraphy
which they are often called on to deci~
pher, the printers of the HERALD AMI
MAIL are worthy of all praise; but this
error is the perversiOn of a material fact
which is entitled to correction.
Rev. WellbOrn Mooney. the popular
-a-d talented Presiding Elder of the CO.
lumbia District, having with his estims,
BILE family taken up his residence in OuI
town, preached by invitation on Thanks
giving Day, highly edifying and in
