SATURDAY EVENING, FEB'Y. II.
Singular Freak.

WASHINGTON. Feo. IL, 1876.
To the editor of the Aleranariu Gazette
DEAR SIR:-Your paper Of ast week tper-
haps Friday or Saturday, gave an account of
bird uoder head OF singular Freak, as
having perched on lady's shoulder aud show
log affection for her and eating from her hand.
The explanation is probably this: A friend
having giving me some pheasant eggs they
were Matched on ms LOT, "Fao Ness Square,
in this city, and we're fed by the hand OF my
cUok in place OF confinement prepared for
them, and were never out Of 1t until two days
ago, when a.pane of glass was broken BY some
means and two OF the pheasants got OUT. Que
was easily retakeu; the other was seen to Hy TO-
wards the river, and was supposed to have
crossed the Potomac The bird has great
power 10 the wings. The color more like
partridge than of pigeon; the tail very long
and terminating 10 shalt point. would not
deprive the lady OF her atfectionate captive
that probably did not know what to eat except
from the hand of kindness, but if it becomes
troublesome to her suitable reward for its
return will be paid by THOMAS GREEN,
at y and 18th st.

these things, is it not reasonable to
infer that those who reside in the
city should also know something
about them7 Ought not the officers
of the law, whose duty it is to be
vigllant in searching out violations
of the law and in tho apprehension
of offenders and the suppression Of
crime, to know something about
these things? Will they say they
do not know these things? Can
they say so when it is a matter of
town talk 7
In tho name of our citizens we
again appeal to those in authority to
interposs in their behalf. Let these
offenders be brought to punish
ment. Overturn the tables of these
money changers and scourge them
from the sacred precincts of our
town. Do not wait for the people
who are already exercised in no
small degree to take the law into
their own hands, like the people of
Vicksburg and Natchez in $50 and
'38. Woe be unto offenders, if in
their indignation and ire our people
should order q new deal and cut
the cards themselves.

PLANT TREES

1t has been suggested by some OF
our leading citizens, and W. think
the suggestion an admirable one,
that we plant this year, the Cen
tennial year, young trees in the
Courthouse yard. Tho old tire cs,
like old men and Old associations
have passed or are passing away.
New ones must take their
places. We hope our citizens will
take the matter in charge and, at
the proper time, will set in tho Court
yard new sot of trees. 1t has been
further suggested that each tree,
when planted, shall bear the name
of the hand that placed it there.
for instance, if Mr.. Smith plants
a tree or Mr.. Jones a tree, those
trees shall bear the name of
Smith or Jones. This is the way
to make history and name for one
self besides doing good for those
who are to come after us. Let the
trees be planted.

OPEN VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

Many, if not all of our readers
must have seen in our issue of last
week the following advertisement i:
There will be barbecue at 'Shady
Side" at 2 p m on Sunday next. A good
time is anticipated. My friends and pat
rens are cordially invited to attend. A
hack will convey all who wish to go. free
of charge. CHARLY LEE.
We understand that the barbecue
did take place at the time and place
mentioned, and that there was a
large gathering of visitors thereat.
We also learn that bar was run
ming, supplied with wines, liquors,
beer, cigars etc., that pistol gal
lery was another feature, and to
crown the iniquity, a wheel of for
tune, a bona fide gambling machines
was in full operation. Are we to SUBJ
nit to such violations of our laws? Is
the fair name and dignity of our
county and state to be thus insulted?
Are our laws to be thus outraged
and offenders to go unwhipped of
justice? How long are these things
to last?
1t has been -suggested that tho
grand jury will take the matter in
hand and will return bills of in
dictment against Lee and his con-
federates. And so it may, but where
will Lee and his strikers be when
next the jury grand meets2 Not in
Madison county we opine. 1t is all
important that they should be ar
rested now, and required to enter
into such bond as will insure their
appearance at the next term Of our
Circuit Court. The officers charg-
ed with the apprehension of such
characters as these cannot say they
were not apprised that violation
of the law was contemplated 1t IS
due to the peace, dignity and good
order of this community that these
parties should be arrested and an
end put to Shady Side, which is Ill
tie short of little hell, by the way
side. Lot the law assert itself, and
that right early.
And while on this subject
we will also mention that it
is IN established fact, that not
less than three gambling hells are
in operation day, and night and on
the Holy Sabbath Day right in the
hcart of our city. We have never
visited any ono of them, and never
expect to, but we know where they
are located. Now if we, who are
residents of the country, know
