A Big story from Florida.

A Florida correspondent Of the
New York Sun writes as follows
The crows had kept up a racket
since dawn. Trees and palmetto
shrubs were black with them
They alighted in camp within ter
feet Of us. and stole the provisions
the instant our backs were turned
necessarily they did scold us. II
was plain that they were anxious
for us to break camp so that they
might pick up what was left.
"Talk about crows" said Moore
while putting his morning pipe
"they're the most knowing birds in
Florida. Yes, sir their intelligence
is ahead of the niger. They can
tell a niger from a white man q
mile of, and they know a shotgun
from a rifle. They know that they
are OF no account. Nobody hank
ers after crow meat, and no hunter
wastes powder and shot on them.
Why, I've been hunting and had
the crows follow me and point out
the game. They were willing to
take their share of the work too.
and were satisfied with the leavings.
If a man only knows how to take
him, crows just as good as dog.
When I've been jumping a bear or
deer, I've had the crows light on
the trees above 'em, and sing out [:
Here he is, old man, down below
here Go for him ? And if /
shot and missed, those crows would
actually get Disguised. / could
here them talking to one another
and saying: ooh, he's an old hon.
bre-he don't know how to shoot
But il l brought down the game,
they'd scream and bounce from the
trees and sail in for their divvy.
"But the greatest case of sag
in crow l ever saw" con-
tinued Moore, "was on the ocean
beach, just across the lower end Of
the lake. Last year me and a fell
low named Crowell were down
there catching turtle. We used to
clean 'em on big beam Of maho-
gany that had drifted ashore
There were thousands of crows on
hand a picking up the entrails and
, scooping out the shells. They
we're so noisy that we had to boiler
10 understand one another. You
never see such o drift Of crows.
They were pretty shy along in the
beginning, but they kept getting
oolder and holder, and by and by
hey walked right to the mahogany !

approached. There being no blind
the curtains had been drawn ovel
it. Taking one in each hand,
quickly flung them back. A moar
burst from my lips ; for before me
wavering in the red freight which
cleaned on the panes was tht
shadowy outline of woman, cloth
ed in white, with her hair stream
ing on her shoulders, and her
dilated orbs staring into mine
while her arms were extended to
clutch me. waited no more, but
fed from the room along the cor
ridors, calling for help, determined
to arouse the whole house.
On turning the second passage,
I perceived before me an open win
dow, and a man standing by it.
l fancied it one of the servants,
and renewing my cries, rushed
forward. l saw him move back
there was a fash of ligt ia report
and l fell, shot in the shoulder,
to the ground.
OF course, you guess my secret
now The noises about the room
were mice, converted into spirits
by my fears. The tapping on the
window was the ivy, and the wo-
man was my own reflection. All,
but the mantle pistol? All,
dear reader, accounted for. Some
of the sound, l had heard in the
garden, had really existed, for
that very night an attempt had
been made by burglars, who had
just effected an entrance when my
shrieks alarmed them. The last
was making his escape by the win
dow when l rushed towards him,
causing him to fire.
Well, directly my senses return
ed, I found myself overwhelmed
by praises and eulogiums for my
courage in single-handed so brave
ly attacking the burglars.
The colonel declared he owed
the preservation of his plate-chest
entirely to me. Indeed, before l
could explain, they made me out
such a heroine that, for very shame,
| dared not admit the coward l had
really been, but, with guilty con-
cience, accepted my ill-merited
laurles.
Some little time after, Uncle
Gray died, and to my surprise, in
stead of leaving his money to build
arm-houses, willed it to me for
having proved myself a girl of
spirit
A twelve month later, Herbert |
Lester asked me to be his wife but |
before saying "yes" l had the
Justice to reveal to him the truth,
Ind never in my life did I see a
nan laugh more heartily; while to
his day the color flies to my cheek
N meeting my husbands merry,
Iuizzical glance when my friends
elate the event which won for me
he title "a Perfect Heroine"

A man was seen coming out OF
a Texas newspaper Office with one

The Cincinnati Commercial says
there is an eight thousand dollar
building in New Hampshire with
a ten thousand dollar roof on it. 1t
was hardly necessary to explain, as
the Commercial does, that the
building belongs to the Govern
ment, and that the roof is the pro-
duction of Boss Shepherd. The
strong point of Mullet's architect
ural genins appears to have been
in contriving opportunities for
giving the Boss profitable jobs in
plumbing and roofing.

The Farmers Club met at the house of Mir. T. s. Colds last Friday evening. It was the first one of the season, and if they continue as interesting and as fully at. tended during the winter we shall have passed few of those long evenings profit ably as we'll as pleasantly. Deac. E. D. Pratt was chosen president and T. s. Gold secretary. A list of subjects to be discuss ed at the various meetings was called for ; most of the members present responded by suggesting one or more subjects which interested them and which would be of interest to the club. We then took up for our immediate discussion the subject. "Our last summers hay y-crop. .and the prospect of getting our stock through the winter ?" The universal report was, that the hay crop was at least one third less than that of last year, but some were relying upon their unusually large corn crop and others on hay left over from the previous season, for carrying their stock through. We learn from our assessor that the amount of stock in the town is con. siderably reduced in anticipation of . short supply of fodder. After the discus. sion we were beautifully regaled with some of MT. Colds fine apples and pears.
 The next meeting of the Club will be at E. D. Prast's at the call of the secretary,
 We are now now enjoying fine sleigh. ing with but little snow. A.

The use of carpetings may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet O.. of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country. Messrs. HALL & READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brussells carpets in the state.

The purchase by England of the Khe- dives shares in Suez Canal Go. gives that country substantial control of the enter
 prise. It naturally causes dissatisfaction elsewhere in Europe, especially in France
 The possession of the Suez Canal, and with it the virtual control of the road to India, was one of the great schemes which Napolean III conceived, to make France the controlling power of the world For that reason England heartily disliked the project. Now the tables are turn ed and England's hold on her great Eastern possessions is apparently frmer than ever.
