A STRANGE FLIGHT OF BmDS.-A queer oc-
cuIrence took place upon the propeller Bolivar
on her passage from New York to this city on
Tuesday evening. About the hour of 10
o'clock and while she was off StratfOrd, a large
flock Of birds were observed lowering about
her rigging. They were given the freedom
Of the vessel, and no place thereon into which
they could enter was unvisited by the little
wanderers During their stay they kept up
an incessant singing chirping, and made
the somewhat prosaic and lnatter-of-fact Jour
ney "a very musical event. With many of
them it was their last song, for, apparently i'll
a state of bewilderment, they dashed them
selves against the headlight, masts and smoke
stacks, and fell, dead and dying, to the deck
in great numbers Almost two hundred dead
birds were picked up this morning Many,
however, escaped their comrades fate ; these
remained upon the Bolivar until she touched
her wharf. One, a brown thrush, was cap
turcd alive and Gagged, but afterward released.
There were at least a dozen different varieties
of birds among them ali were handsome and
none common in these parts. Some bore a
resemblance to the canary, others were like
the English sparrow, and still others resem-
bled the swallow Whence they came is
mystery. A very plausible theory is that
they were from the forests upon Long Island
so recently devastated by fire, and were driven
from their hamts by the flames and sitting

YOUNG BADGERs.-The Silver State of May
% has the following account of capture:
An Indian and his squaw brought in town
yesterday two young badgers, which they
caught near Golconda some two weeks ago,
and disposed of them to Henry Tinker for
four dollars. They are almost as tame as
puppies, but decidedly bellicose when dog

NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO NOV
TIE CROPS.

The hard-money men say some
'There is money enough in
the country. If YOU have 4 bushel of
wheat to sell You can always get the
price IF it.
True; but the demand even for
wheat is decreased by the inability OF
the people to buy. and with the de-
crease Of demand the prices fall.
But it seems that there are grave
apprehensions that there is not money
enough left in the country to move
the eastern crops. The Chicago Tri-
bune. the other day. Published in its
money-c0lumn. the following signifi-
cant article:
The impression is alnos, universal
among bankers that the loan market

The probabilities Of an extraordinary
grain movement arc the basis for this
expectation. but the condition of the
reserves Of the New York banks gives
it additional ground. The New y ork
banks hold. besides their own re-
serves. the reserves Of the banks Of
the interior cities. which III their
turn hold the reserves OF the country
banks. When the crops begin to move
currency flows steadily outward from
New York to Chicago. Cincinnati,
st. Louis. Kansas City. and other
distributing points. and from them to
every Wayside station in the great
grain producing states where the
farmers can sell their grain. There
