Mtshap at a Sparrow's Funeral.

Those who have visited the City
Hall cannot have failed to notice the
little house placed on the limb of one
of the trees that stand in the grass
plot in front of the building. This
house has been occupied by colony
of sparrows. and yesterday one of
them died. Ascertaining this fact by
some reason of bird logic, the Others
undertook to remove the dead bird by
dragging it out through the little hole
by which they are accustomed to en-
ter. Some of the family superintend-
ed the job outside while the others es-
sayed to push the body from the in
terror. They succeeded in getting
half the body out. when the bird
stuck fast, preventing those within
from coming out, and those outside
from entering. The united efforts of
the colony were unsuccessful in re-
moving the obstruction, and they set
up such a chattering as attracted the
attention of some of the workmen of
the City Hall. A ladder was procured,
placed against the tree, and one of
them mounting it, pulled the dead
bird out, and so relieved the anxiety
of the disturbed family. Rochester

to the committee on invalid pensions.
Mr..Gcek insisted that the supreme
eeurt had decided that aftersthe presi.
dents proclamation at the close Of the
rebellion, all legal rights we're re.
stored. &.
MIR. Allison said very large
amount OF asrearages depended on
the bill. The original estimate was
an annual payment of s2,l40, ,O0C; by
peculiar phrascology of the bill all
who served in the Mexican war or in
Indians warsNwould be pensioners.
Mr.. Dunnell thought just com
promise would be to restore the names
left out and let arrearages drop.
Mr.. Hurlburt said he was willing
TO signalize this timely restoring to
the pension rolls those who had been
dropped during the rebellion, not be-
cause they deserved itNbut because
he wished the magnaminity Of the
nation to stand unquestioned before
the world, but when he was asked to
vote for paying arrears of pensions
he refused to do it, and he believed
that the public sentiment Of the count
[try would never bear with any such
paltering with the plain p7inci-
pies of Justice. There was an
impression on the public mind
that this carefully worded and
skilfully managed bill was but the en-
1terjng wedge to other claims OF vast
amount. Whenever this bill was SO
altered as to be confined simply to.the
restoration of these pensioners to the
rolls, it would have his support but
not till then.
| Mr.. Caswcll opposed the bin with
such features =.s=..z----------------
Mr.. Hooker advocated it as mainly
correct.
Mr.=Nancc regarded the opposition
