The COLD WEATHER ON GAME BIRDs-
The continued cold weather had a serious
effect upon partidges and other game.
Quite large number of these birds, which
had escaped the spOrtsmen during the
hunting season, have been found frozen to
death. Partridges in some instances have
ventured near farm buildings, and sought
refuge in hay and straw stacks, and have
domiciled themselves among the barnyard
fowls. Some farmers are preserving them
through the winter, and will permit them
to run in the spring.
Our citizens will remember the Whit.
mack family, who, several years ago, resided |
near this place. They subsequently moved |
to the ncighborhood of Greensborough |
where they were living peacefully until |
week before last when death entered and |
removed the two pillars of the family. |
| The husband was sick one week with pneu-
mOnia, and on the morning Of the day lie
died the wife was carried to bed with the
same disease; dying, almost to the hour,
one week from the time that her compan-
ion was taken. They had been for many
years members Of the Presbyterian church.
REAPING THE WHIRLwIND.-Martin King

closely, and they recollect who advert
