IN the economy of nature, and it is
an undoubted fact that if the birds
were all swept of the face of the
earth man could not live upon it,
vegetation would wither and die !;
insects would become so numerous
that no living being could Withstand
their attacks. The wholes ale de,
struction occasioned by grasShop-
pers which have devastated the
West, is to great extent, perhaps,
caused by the thinning out of the
birds, such rs grouse, prairie hens,
ETC., which feed upon them. The
great anl inestimable service done
to the farmer, gardener and florist
by the birds is only becoming
known by sad experience. Spare
the birds and save the fruit; the
little corn and fruit taken by them
Is more than compensated by the
quantities of noxious insects they
destroy. The long prosecuted crow
has been found by actual expert
ence, to do more good by the vast
quantities of grubs and insects he
devoars than the harm he does in
the grains of corn he pulls up. He
is, after all, rather friend than an
enemy to the farmer.

OF the present season, one can travel

in less than forty-eight hours, where
hitherto it has taken from six to

1t Is reported that the Illinois
Central Railroad Company seems to
be throwing out teelers with a view
to securing n part if not the whole
OF the prize of the traffic with Man
itoba. Agents and engineers of
th,s company have been looking
into the matter of a connection be-
tween Ashland ana Superior City By
rail, which, if it can be effected,
would induce them TO undertake the
construction of the line of the Du-
Iuth and Winnipeg Railroad, which
would connect the two cities OF
Chicago and Winnipeg by the
hortest possible route of about
seven hundred miles, and if we are
correctly informed, arrangements
are already made for preliminary
survey from Duluth to Winnipeg, a
distance of 800 miles. Such an en-
terprise, if in reality contemplated,
should be worthy of Chicago 5

than silver one, yet the facts do
not justify any such conclusion.
Gold mines, that is, those of the

Value of Government Signal Service

From st. Nicholas
The system OF danger signals,
adopted by the United States Gov
erninent, has proved Of great bcne-
fit to shipping. All along the coasts
are stations, at which plainly visi-
ble signals are displayed, to warn
shlp-captains cf approaching storms.
The reports OF observers at the
stations are required to give all in
stances in which vessels have re-
mained in port on account Of official
warnings given. In these cases
danger was avoided, aud statistics
show that disasters to shipping
have been considerably fewer since
The Introduction Of the cautionarY
signals.
The agricultural interests Of the
country also have been greatly ben
Gifted by the daily bulletins sent to
every farming district in the land
by the Weather Department.
These bulleli1s are made from tel
cgraphic reports received At ap-
pointed centcrs of distribution,
where they are at once printed,
placed in envelopes, and addressed
to designated post-otiices in the dis
trict to be supplied. Each post
master receiving a bulletin has the
order of the Postmaster-G General to
display it instantly in a frame fur
uished for the purpose.
The bulletin reach the different
Offices, and are displayed in the
frames, on the average, at eleven
o'clock in the morning, making
about ten hours from the time the
report fist left the chief signal off

There is continual cause for as
constituent in the statistics of our
export trade. Since July l the
shipments Of wheat and flour from
our ports, including those on the
Pacific, have been equal to SO, 1885,
239 bushels of wheat, against IS,
308,647 bushels for the correspond
ing period in 1877. 1t cannot be
surprising that there has been a
decline in the English prices; the
markets abroad must be heavily
supplied.

FRIENDs.-Have virtuous people,

shrine Of worship is in families

To feed one good man IS infinitely
