The newspapers say that bird fam
ciers are puzzled over the origin of a
new and unknown species of bird tba
is killing off the English sparrows at
Seneca Falls, N. Y. 1t has marvellous
strength, carrying the sparrows up into
the trees where it devours them. 1t is
about the size of robin, and has blue
feathers on the breast. 1t is probably
the blue jay, which often remains in
northern Iatitudes all winter and when
pressed with hunger don't hesitate to
attack the weaker species.

The Man that knocked Washing
ton Down.

The grandfather of Mrs. Langhorne,
who died recently in Kentucky, was
william Payne, of Fairfax county, Va,
of whom Collins history of kentucky
preserves the following incident;
"At the time General Washington
was stationed at Alexander, Va, as a
colonel of British regiment, before
the war OF the Revolution, an alterca
tion took place in the Court House
yard between him and William Payne,
in which Payne knocked Washington
down. Great excitement prevailed, as
Payne was known tv be- firm, and Wash
ington was beloved by all. A nights
reflection, however, satisfied Washing
ton that I- was the aggressor and in
the wrong, and in the morning he, like
a true and magnanimous hero, sought
an interview with Payne, which result
ted in an apology from Washington,
and warm and lasting friendship be-
tween the two, founded on mutual es-
TEEN. During the Revolutionary war,
while Washington was on a visit to his
family, William Payne, with his son,
DeVall, went to pay his respects to the
great American chief. General Wash
ington met him some distance from the
house, took him by the hand and led
him into the presence of Mrs. Washing
ton. 10 whom he introduced Mr.. Payne
as follows: MY dear, here is the little
man, whom you have so frequently
heard me speak Of who once had the
courage to knock me down in the Court
House yard in Alexandria. b'gaS iam.'

Two Westf.ld children were permit

took a seat near the front, and after the
minister had got well into his sermon
the smaller child whispered to his sis

Those who sat behind them heard the

asked permission to go and was answer
