REMEMBER THE BIRDs-Thc little
English sparrows are about the only BIRDS
that remain to cheer us with their lively
chirp. They are very busy now looking up
their winter quarters, among the tangled
ivy, or in some box, placed among the
limbs of shade trees. 1t is pleasant
amusement during the winter to scatter
seeds and crumbs for the birds, and it will
be pleasant surprise to sec how many of
the little chirpcrs will remember such hu.
name acts.
How's THIs?-On Saturday last Harris
Bush received mild hint, from a sorcly
vcXcd party, that if he didn't discontinue
woodchopping in the mountain he would
be saved further trouble in this world and
be sent 70 the happy hunting ground. nar-
ris was considerably nonplusscd ut this re-
hinder and now carries two seven shoot
ers and Il musket when he goes tc work.
Another party, named Wolf was also
warned by the sam" persons, but he, IKE
Harris, has concluded TO prepare for war
in time ofpcacc and go forth into the r.oun-
tains and attend to his business. We OK
pcct nothing else than to hear of some ter
riblc deed being committed some OF these
DAYS. Send for troops.
