The Paddy Bird.

A letter in one ofthe Calcutta papers
describes a singular exhibition Of the
sagacity Of tho paddy bird Much has
been said and written about the in.
stinctvc intelligence OF certain birds,
and I think may safely claim niche
in the ornithological temple of fame for
our friend, the well.known Indian pad.

but have the story from friend for
whose intelligence 1 have the greatest
regard, and 1hcse veracity 1 hold un-
impeachable, and am of opinion that
the statements can be implicitly relied
on as in no wise DEPRESSING from strict
tcuthrulness. The narrator observes
that recently, while travelling by trolly
on one of the Calcutta railways, he was
struck with admiration and wonder
ment at the tactics Of groupe Of these
birds fishing in sheet Of water adjoin'
ing the cutting. he proceeds to state
that the birds first extended in lire,
placing themselves at intervals Of two
or three feet, and then, wheeling round
at both extremities, completed per-
feet Gordon. The ring then gradually
closed, the sagacio1s birds the while
driving the circumscribed fish towards
the centre. Of the Gordon by agitating
their long legs, and, observes my friend,
as the circumference of the circle di-

their onslaught on the fnny tribe be-
came most amusing to behold. The
birds then opened out again, and the
line being formed, the fishing drill was
gone through for q second and third
time with admirable precision and regu

is no fiction; and there could be no de
ception with regard to the movements
Of the birds, since the narrator, having
time at his command, was enabled K
watch their man@uvres for consider
able period. It is, moreover, marvellous
and demonstrates the degree ofsagacitJ
that is allowed to some sections of tht
lower creation.

A Sad Romance.

A telegraphc dispatch to the New
York Herald, dated Baltimore, August
26th, says:
The death of Miss Ida V. Branch, aged
twcnty.tdree which followed surgical
operation at the Maryland University
Hospital yesterday, has brought to light
a singular romance in real life. She
was the daughter of James Branch, re-
siding near Smithfeld, Isle Of Wight
county, Va, and possessed extraordina'
ry beauty, and was besides ayoung lady
Of culture and refinement. She was the
belle ofthe village and had many admi.
rers. Among others who sought her
hand was Mr.. Ferguson, the son Of o
neighboriug farmer, to whom with the
consent Of her father Ida became be-
trothed. In January last, certain indi'
cations in the appearance Of Miss Branch
aroused a>suspicion u on the part Of her
father that the intimscy between them
has been Of an improper character, and
Mr.. Branch communicated his suspicious
to his daughter. The latter earnestly
denied the imputation, and solemnly
protested that her intimacy had not ex-
cceded that Of the strictest propriety.-
His suspicious were allayed, but subse.
quently they were again aroused and
Miss Branch was sent to her sister, Mrs.
Ferguson, at Charlottesville. To this
lady Ida made an equally. positive de-
nial, but her physical condition was such
that her father deemed medical exam
ination necessary. He visited Char
lottcsville, and the physician, after an
examination, confirmed his suspicious
Notwithstanding this she again protest.
cd her innocence. and a second exami-
nation by another physician revealed
the presence Of an ovarian tumor. DR..
Randolph, who made this discovery, re.
commended her removal to Baltimore
for medical treatment. She arrived
here on the 18th instant, and was placed
under the care of Prof. Johnston and

The Orkney Springs Homicide.

Our Harrisonburg correspondent
mentions the death Of Coss johnson,
resulting from rencounter with Capt.
John Avis, at Orkney Springs on Friday
last, the 9TH inst. We have learned
from Captain Jack Moore, the proprie-
tor of the springs, the particulars Of the
difficulty, and frou them there is no
question that Captain Avis acted entire
ly in self defence. Some six months
ago Capt. Avis. who is Commissary or
Steward at Orkney, had given orders
that Johnson should not have any liq-
uor at the Springs. This incensed John.
son, aud he frequently threatened to
kill Avis, in consequence. He placed
himself in position to waylay the
Captain shortly after the order forbid
ing liquor being sold to him. and made
an assault, after night. with stick.
Avis wrenched the stick from him, or
got possession Of it in the scuffle, and
inflicted severe punishment on Johnson.
From that time until the rencounter
last Friday, Johnson had frequently
threatened that he would kill Avis. and
on Friday last said that he would kill
him before he went to bed. Avis had
passed into tue store and through the
main room, into back room. johnson
came in The front room, and started
to follow Avis, when he was stopped by
the Clerk, with whom he had scufle,
the Clerk endeavoring to keep him away
from Avis. In the meantime Avis, who
knew nothing of the cause of the scufae,
passed out again. Johnson got away
from the Clerk, and started after Avis,
who was in advance some distance, un>
aware of the purpose Of johnson. He
was called back to the store, and met
Johnson, by whom the assault was COM
menced by severe lick with the fist.
The two clinched, and in the attempt to
part them, both fell. While on the
ground, Avis picked up a stone and
struck johnson on the head. They
were separated, after much difficulty,
when johnson again siezed Avis in the
collar, and dragged him to the ground.
when Avis again struck him twice with
Tho stone he he'd. in his hand. This
closed the conilct, although Johnson
still continued to breathe hreats of ven.
gcance and murder. johnson was not
stunned by the blows he had received,
He went about in the rain, and contin-
ued to inhale liquor which he had pro.
cured from an outside source. His
wounds were dressed by force, lie re-
fusing to consent to any surgical atten.
ton. He finally became prostrated and
died Sunday morning from the effects,
no doubt, Of the wounds, dissipation
and exposure, There was no fracture
Of the skull.
Capt. Avis was we'll known in this
city during the war as Provost Marshall.
He was the jailor Of John Brown, and
we believe his haagsman. johnson was
huckster Of milk to the cabin visitors
of the Springs, but had no employment
at or connection with the establish
ment. He had beer married, but we
learn did not live with his wife.
The statement given to us exonerates
Captain Avis from criminal intent in
tue unfortunate affair. .-&uuton Nr-
