PRor. PERKINS LECTURE ON BIRDs.-The
very unfavorable weather. ofcourse, had its
effect on the size of the gathering in the
City Hall last evening. In spite of mud and
storm. however, an audience respectable in
numbers and intelligent in quality, assem-
bled. The lecturer was introduced BY Mr..
W. Ii. S. Whitcomb. Prof. Perkins spoke
OF birds-their wonderful structure, fitting
them for intense activity their powers of
flight and the formation of the eye, with
its membranous curtain or shade to relieve
the glare of the sun, and its curious ap-
paratus by which the bird is rendered
keenly far sighted, or keenly near sighted,
at will. lie spoke of the instincts and
nesting habits of various birds. and
the migrations Of the migratory
birds, some of which leave US
here and 60 by direct fight to South
America and England. lie mentioned
some of the interesting peculiarities of the
birds of prey.-as that tho young eagle is
larger than the adult. lie said the young
of the white headed eagle are often taken
for the golden eagle, being larger and of
different color from what they will DO when
two or three years older. lie spoke of the
owls, some of which raise three sets OF
young of different ages in the same
nest of the woodpeckers-a useful bird;
and of the robins. also most useful. which
cat their weight, or more, of cutworms,
catcrpillars and injurious insects every day
of the bobolink. water birds. etc. The
lecture was full of interesting information
and was illustrated with diagrams and
specimens of the wings and skulls Of
different birds. In conclusion the lecturer
enforced the moral lesson of the study Of
Nature, leading US to look through Nature
up to the Divine contriver and architect.
The lecture occupied ore hour. 1t was
listened to with close interest and received
with applause.

ALBuRGH-An old man by the name of
Dixon, from Rouses Point, while out on the
ice fishing, between that place and this
town, last Friday, in attempting to cross a
crack fell into the water. lie called loudly
for help and dog which he had with him
set up terrible bowling, and tried to pull
the man out Of the ice. Not being able to
do this the dog ran to the shore, barking,
and caught hold of man by the pants and
tried to drag him towards the ice; the man
called assistance, and succeeded in rescuing
Dixon. But for the ,agacity of the dog. the
man would probably have drowned.

When tho man Statia, who had the care of
ThOrne, the victim of two months ago. was
ordered by the overseer of tho poor to burn
everything in the house, no thought the
clothes were too good to be consigned to the
flames, and thereupon. stole them. put them
through some Incomplete process OF disin-
fiction, and then gave tho clothes to his
son to wear. Tho consequence OF this
injscret proceeding was that in due time
tho disease made its appearance on five
persons at about the same time. 1hroe of
them have died; first. little girl,
granddaughter Of the aforesaid Statia !;
and then the mother; and lastly,
the son, who died on Sunday morning
How many more will die, or how many
more will be oyertaken by the disease, it is
not in the province of your correspondent
to say; but certain it is that the aforesaid
principal in tho proceeding had open access
to our streets and stores until last Thurs
day, before it was discovered what was the
true state of the case, he having said that it
was "nothing but the measles The house

A MAN KILLED BY THE CARs-uIS BODY CUT IN
PIECES AND STRUNG ALONG THE TRACK FOR
NEARLY A NILE

A MAN KILLED BY THE cARs-uIs BODY CUT IN
PIECES AND STRUNG ALONG THE TRACK FOR
NEARLY A MILE.
Early Saturday morning. fragments oil
human body were found between Winooskl
and the Lime Kiln strung along the railroad
track. The head and limbs had been sever
ed from the trunk, portions having been
ground to pomace. and the sight was
most horrible. Those who gathered up
the fragments found here al arm or por-
tions of one. there limb. and, further on
other portions of the body. The head was
found some distance from the trunk.
1t was aseertaincd that the unfortunate
man was a mulatto by the name OF
Vaughan, resident of Essex. 1t is not
known what train struck him first. Marks
of blood and n.angled flesh were found on
the engine of the passenger train going north
from here at 4:30, Saturday morning. but
it is supposed that the man was first struck
and killed, either by the early freight, going
north, between and 4 O'Clock that morn
VI ny u latt SOAh7 'oNs",
the night before. The indications were
that more than one train had passed
over the remains.
The unfortunate man was seen in Wi
moo ski, Friday evening, about eight
O'Clock, by man who was watering his
horse by tho road side. Vaughan, so this
man reports. asked for some water to re-
duce some alcohol which he had in bottle.
Later he was seen, or it is supposed it was
he, sitting on the railroad track. not far
from Winooski depot. The young man who
saw him gave as a reason for not attempt
ing to get him away from his dangerous
position, that he thought he was some
tramp, who might assault him if he ap-
preached him.
In one of the pockets of the mans cloth
ing was found the tell-tale bottle which
had brought him to his terrible death; and.
strange to say. it was unbroken, though
empty.
We understand that Vaughan was Ia
boring man, and leaves wife and three or
four children in destitute circumstances.

WATERvILLE. On Saturday afternoon
last. a town meeting was held at tho School
house in the village, for the purpose of
raising money for the payment of the inter
est on the railroad bonds. A greater part
OF the voters in the town were present. By
an almost unanimous vote tax of 100 cents
on the grand list was voted to pay the inter
est on the bonds to March, 1873.
Our roads are almost impossible, it being
neither sleighing nor wagoning. Sleighs
are mostly used in travelling to Belvidere,
and wagons to Cambridge and johnson.
Most OF our farmers have already tapped
their trees. and made little sugar.
On Tuesday morning. the Goth inst, at
about six o'clock, largo meteor passed
over here. Its course was from the south
east to the northwest As described by an
eyewitness, it was very large and high in
tho air. A stream Of fire followed the
main body, and when it had passed toward
the mountain west of the village it burst
and the report sounded like thunder and
continued Tor several seconds. The flash was
seen by several persons in their houses and
the report was heard by many who called it
thunder. This is probably the same that
was heard at Newport end called the shock
of an earthquake. &C.
