Some miscreants broke into the
barn on Monday night and sheared off
the name and tail of G. FL. Abbott's
horse, thus disfguring him for year
or two until the hairs grow again. Nh.
Abbott has kept the boarding house at
fairbanks scale works for the past three
years, and has insisted on maintaining
a neat and orderly house; and in doing
this he has incurred the i'll will of two
or three evil-disposed men, and they
doubtless took this mean and cowardly
reyenge. Efforts are making to dis
cover the perpetrators.

While Rev. Mr.. Tillotson was COM
ing from the East Village last Friday
in a covered carriage with his little
daughter, the bolt that holds the car
riage to the forward wheels suddenly
gave away, letting the carriage down
and throwing it forward with great
violence. Mr.. Tillotson held the horse,
and kept the carriage up from his little
girl, so that no great harm was done
save the severe wrenching of muscles
and the shock of the fall.

We have never seen the birds SO
plenty, or heard them as musical, as the
present season. The Baltimore oriole,
the cat-bird, or American hooking bird,
and the wood thrush,-all few years
ago quite rare, are now plenty; and to-
gether with the common birds of this
latitude, make the atmosphere fragrant
with song. If the English sparrows
drive away other birds, as they are said
to do, we do not want sparrows here.

They have the joke on the clerk at
the Avenue House. A gentleman APP
peared there the first of the week, and
desired to make arrangements for board
for % men and I8 horses. The clerk
asked him his business, and was in
formed that he was the advance agent
Of the American Bible Society. This
seeming satisfactory, arrangements were
eompleted; and in a few hours the
lightning rod men appeared in full force
The clerk has ceased asking questions
of that agent.

On Wednesday evening of last week,
Mr.. and Mrs. James George celebrated
their golden wedding. Their children
and grand children, numbering twenty
six, gathered at the old home and car
ried out programme unusual for such
an occasion, but one which gave the
greatest satisfaction. 1t is a family re-
markable especially for musical ability /;
and the chief features of this gathering
were therefore musical. There were
songs, duets, triOs, quartets and cho-
ruses; cornet and harmonica solos, a
horn quartet, and an original poem.
The concert was held in the M. E.
Church, and the public were admitted.
The house was full, and the most I'M
stinted praise was given. Herbert's
cornet and harmonica solos were best
received, but the most artistic of all
was the singing of Mrs. j. N. George.
Miss Nellie, a grand-child, gave evil
denee of very superior voice,-a pure
soprano, of high range and very melodi-
GUS. In the poem, which contained
many good things, the ceremony of re-
marrying was performed in a very hap
Ply manner. Altogether, the occasion
was highly enjoyable.
