At the Pere Ia Chaise Cemetery, near

A Curious Bird Tran.

Abraham Mayer, who resides in old
Bartholomew place, east of the city,
yesterday made a very singular discov-
cry. Supporting his porch are num-
Der of pillars, made of four boards nail
ed together. While sitting on the porch
he heard a noise within one Of these pill
lors, which promtped him to Investigate
the cause. The sound seemed to be made
by birds, and he procured saw and
cut hole at the base of the pillar. From
this hole he drew out more than 400 dead
birds, 100 or more of which his son
brought down to the city for inspection.
They were in all stages of decomposi-
tion, from the bird just dead to the skel-
etons of those which had evidently lain
there for years. Two live birds, whose
futtering and noise had attracted his
attention, made their escape as soon as
the hole was opened. The larger num-
ber were blue-birds, but besides these
there were sparrows, woodpeckers,
wrens,-indeed, miscellaneous oollec-
tion of the smaller birds of this latitude.
To ascertain how they came there was
the next question, and u further search
was made. This showed that near the
top of the pillar there was small hole
just sufficient to allow the ingress of a
bird, but so near the top that egress
was impossible. The birds seeing the
opening went in, but were unable to get
out, aud died of starvation. This seems
much like ghost story, but the skepti-
cal can see full peck of the carcasses
of these birds at the Grand Central
Lafayette (Ind.) Courier.

Correspondence OF the Star.
NEW CASTLE, IND, June %. 1875.
This beautiful town is situated
in Henry county, one of the most
wealthy and populous counties in the
State. The Cincinnati, Richmond and
Chicago, and the Cincinnati and Fort
Wayne railroads cross here, giving US
splendid railway facilities. The town is
halt way between Cincinnati ana Fort
Wayne, being about ninety miles from
mond. New Castle has population OF
two thousand and is rapidly growing. 1t
contains many attractive homes, not a
few of the houses being noticeable for
their size and stylish architecture; but
the greater number are smaller, and are
white and cozy, with large, clean front
yards, well supplied with shade trees
and shrubbery. There are several resi-
dences, however, which would attract
attention ia any place Of ten times the
Inhabitants this town can boast Of.
This is the home of several men very
well known throughout the State, and
some Of them throughout the country.
Hon. Simon T. Powell, late Supervisor
of Internal Revenue for Ohio and 1ndi-
ana, resides here, In perhaps the finest
house in the county. Gen, VIM. Grose,
Judge Jehu 7. Elliott, of the Supreme
Court of the State; Benjamin 3. Parker,
poet and literary man Of no small re-
n0Yn, and Hon. M. l.. Bundy, banker
and capitalist and Inspector Of N ational
Banks for the State, all make their homes
here. Morris N. and Frank Il. White, OF
White Bros. & Co., and VIM. 8. Hoover,
Of Hoover, Shipley 6 Co., prominent Gin
cinnati business men, were Henry county
boys, and still regard it as their home.
This county in politics is strongly Re-
publican, having within her borders q
large number Of Quakers, who, as is we'll
known, are always Republicans, owing
to their former Abolition proclivities. 1t
is believed among politicians in this sec
ton of the country the great issue for
the next campaign ts the money ques-
tion-infation or contraction Of the cur
the crossroads politicians seem to care
about discussing.
There are two newspapers printed
here, the "Courier" and "Mercury,"
both Republican,, the former "red hop'
Republican and one OF the oldest news
papers in the State, being now In Its
thirty-sixth year. There is no Demo-
cratic sheet published in this county,
but there certainly is now fine oppor-
tunity for some live newspaper man to
''start' one. The town contains fine
public buildings in the way of Court
house, Jail, Academy, railroad depot,
&C., &C., while the business blocks and
store rooms would do credit to any city.
Taking it all in all, New Castle is one OF
the most attractive towns in the State,
and will venture to say that within a
radius Of two hundred miles from Gin.
cinnati, one can not find more pleas
ant and healthful place to spend a va
cation during the heated term.

HOW CAPT. EADs IS PROGRESSING WITH

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 24-Capt. John
L. Bofinger, one of the oldest and wealth.
lest OF the Lower Mississippi steamboat
men, and also one Of Capt. Eads' chief as
sociates in the scheme, arrived here TO-
day, direct from the South Pass. he
considers the prospects exceedingly en-
couraging. The work is already going
forward, the necessary wharves have
been built at the rivers mouth, two long
buildings have been put up for the ac-
commodation of the wOrkmen, and on
Monday the pile driving out into the sea
was commenced for the retaining walls
Of the jetties. Over ten thousand
feet OF sheet piling, each pile foot wide
and three inches thick, will be- driven.
This sheet pilipg Of itself will form an
almost water-tight wall and will retain
the material for the jettiesin place dur
ing all kinds of weather, while they are
being build up solid to the surface of the
water. 1t Is calculated that this sheet
piling alone will give sixteen feet OF
water in the pass by next October.
The jetty builders found the pass now
about seven hundred feet wide, and the
artificial banks reserve the same width.
The current is about three and half
miles an hour with the full tide, The
jetties will be two and, q quarter miles
long ON the east and one and half miles
long on the west. Captain Eads has
constructed pile-driver with which he
can work uninteyruptedly in all ikinds OF
weather. 1t is TO be placed on pile
and run out into the water, driving the
piles and finishing the work as 1t moves
out. The work is progressing more rap
idly in this way than by using fiat boats
for the driving.
