perrisors:
awe, the denizens Of the air,
address our plaintive prayer. For
our sake, and the sakes of ham,
dreds of gentle comrades who, in
their brief span of life, gladdened,
amid the weighty cares Of your po-
sition ofttines, your hearts with
their sweet warblings and tender
ways, butwho now alas lie moul-
dering on the ground, we, the
mourning survivors beg with
bleeding hearts that you, in yOar
pity for us, make stern laws and
have them sternly enforced for
with their dreadful slung shots the
wicked school-boys make our lives
full of endless cares and anxiety |;
they frighten and worry our gen.
tie mates, daily drop from our
midst our beloved brethren, and
leave MS to weep our bitter tears
over the untimely end of our fel.
low creatures and our own uncer-
tain future. Feeling certain that
this humble petition will meet your
tender and careful consideration,
we place ourselves under your gra-
cious protection, and with hope
once more will blend our voices Oh
high in glad bursts of gratitude.
In behalf of all our feathered
tribe, we sign ourselves, respect
fully, the committee, Misses CHR

other would pay rs after sheep
shearing. His sheep are long
woods, and it takes a long while
for the wool to mature. Another
would pay after wheat harvest,
but his wheat, like the GEN.
tury plant, is of slow growth
and don't ripen often. Another
had poor health, but was improv-
ing. He would get around soon,
and raise some money and pay
us. He has had a relapse, for
thonghhe eats hearty and works

the conclusi61 that shooting is

number said they would see as to
tomorrow; those men have been
blind ever since, or else tomorrow
has not come. One man told us,
six months ago, that be would pay
us as soon as he got some money /;
that would not lie, and Of course
