a reporter of the Philadelphia Times, on
Friday morning, the father of Charlie
Ross said " If my boy had been found,
you may rest assured that the press of
Philadelphia and the country would
know of it Immediately. | feel too
grateful for the deep interest they have,

keep the tidings, whether good or bad,
from them an instant. In ten days or a
week / expect that Westervelt will be
brought up for trial, and then his con-
nection with the case may be thoroughly
ventilated. Westervelt says the boy
was alive when his brother-in-law, Mosh-
er, was killed, and this part of his story

ferent stories about his connection with
the matter that it is difficult TO know
which to credit. / feel satisfied that he
was one of the parties interested. Char
lies mother has abiding faith that her

The BIRDs.-Horace Greeley once
wrote of birds as follows: If l were to
estimate the average absolute loss to the
farmers of this country from insects at
S100,000,000 per annum, / should doubt
less be far below the mark. / have no
doubt that our best allies in this inglori-
GUS warfare are the birds. They would
serve us if we did not destroy them.
