A Child Fascinating Birds in Ohio.
Forest Review

We learn from a correspondent that
here resides in the vicinity of Harris.

cock County, about three miles west of
Mt. Blanchard, very remarkable child,
only five years old, who seems to have the
power to charm birds ut will.
Her mother first noticed this strange
fascination that the child possesses about
a year ago. The little girl was playing in
the door-yard among a bevy of snow
birds, and when she spoke to them they
would come and light upon her, twittering
with glee. On taking them in her hands
and stroking them, the birds, instead of
trying to get AWAY from their fair captive,
seemed to be highly pleased, and when
let loose would fly away short distance
and Immediately return to the child
again. She took several of them into
the house to show her mother. who,
thinking the child might hurt them, put
them out of doors; but no sooner was the
door opened than the birds flew into the
room again, and lit upon the girls head
and begal to chirp. ...
The birds remained about the premises
all winter, flying to the little girl when
ever the door was opened. The parents
of the little child became alarmed, be-
lieving that this strange power was an ill
omen, and that the much-dreaded visitor,
death, was about to visit their house.
But death did not come, and during last
summer the child had numerous pets
from the birds. n rnA rs q -
The child handles the birds 50 gently
that humming-bird once in her hand
does not fail to return. This winter
bevy of birds kept her company, and she
plays with them for hours at time. Ey-
cry morning the birds fly to her window,
and leave only when the sun sinks in the
west. The parents Of this girl are poor,
superstitious people, and have been reti-
cent about the matter until lately, fear
ing that some great calamity was about
to befall them.

Wrenchcd and Rucked

BY the pangs OF rheumatism the joints
eventually become grievously distorted
and sometimes assume an almost grotesuue
defornity. 10 prevent such results by a
SIM pie and agreeable means is certainly the
part of wisdom. A tendency to rheumatic
ailments may be successfully combatted
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a medi-
cine with the prestige OF long and sue
oesssiul career OF unbounded popularity,
and OF emphatic professional Endorsement.
II removes from the blood those indamma-
tory impurities which pathologists assign
as the cause of rheumatism, and not only
puriiies the life current, but enriches it,
promoting vigor BY fertilizing its source.
Digestion, the action OF the bowels and the
secretion of the bile, are aided by it, and it
impels the kidneys and bladder to a regular
and active performance of their functions.
II is besides thoroughly reliable remedy
for, and means OF preventing, periodic fe-

aid, Herman, Randolph and Bayard
With the exception Of Mr.. Bayard, these
gentlemen represent close and doubtful
States. Nothing but careful legislation
and sensible policy from this time for
ward will enable the Democrats to carry
the Legislatures of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana. Seven Senators whose
terms will expire in 1881 will undoubt-
edly be returned, or gentlemen Of like
political faith will replace them. They
are Withers, of Virginia; Hereford, Of
West Virginia; Bailey, of Tennessee;
Jones, of Florida; Maxey, of Texas;
Whyte, of Maryland, and Cockrell, of
Missouri. A change in five States would
lose the Democrats the control of the
next Senate, and it is toward this end
that the energies of the Republicans are
henceforward to be directed. In view of
all this it is quite likely that unless
Messrs. Kellogg and Ingalls, can show
very clear titles to the seats which they
occupy they will be invited to step down
and out.

Foreign insects.

The Entomologist calls attention to the
fact that European insects and weeds are
naturalized in America with far more fa-
clllty than ours are naturalized there,
and even crowd out the insects indigen-
Gus to us. Thus We have a native cur
rant worm very much like the one i'm
ported nearly twenty years ago from
Europe, but it has never done any dam
age, while already the imported one has
in some places almost stopped the culti-
vation of the currant. Our onion fly
does scarcely any hurt, while the i'm
ported fly, to which it is closely allied,
does great damage. 1t is Just the same
with the imported bark louise of the ap-
pie tree, and the meal worm beetle.
Among other pests of European origin
are the Hessian fly, introduced nearly
one hundred years ago; the wheat midge,
fifty wears ago; the bee moth, cheese
maggot, grain weevil, house fly, cock
roach, and carpet and clothes moths.
Among the weeds are Canada thistles,
maywced, oxeye daisy, burdock and chess
cheat In fact the weeds the garden has
to contend with are nearly all European.
On the other hand, scarcely an American
noxious weed, plant or insect has been
successfully introduced into Europe. If
the potato-bug succeeds in elIecting a
lodgmcnt ON European shores he will do
much to help balance the account.

short Dresses iu England.
fIDndDn Truth

English ladies are Just beginning to
adopt the fashion that has been in vogue
in Paris for some time, Of wearing short
skirts for ballroom toilets. Now
that quadrilles, and in fact all square
dane $, are voted "slow" and tabooed,
nothing is thought of but the valse, for
which the long-trained dresses are found
extremely inconvenient, both to the
wearer and her partners, especially the
latter, who occasionally find themselves
more inextricably attached to lady
than is at all consistent with the trois
temps. To avoid these difficulties, many
ladies have a cord from the end of the
train, and loop through which the
gentlcman's arm goes, and by which he
holds up this troublesome appendage,
but this at best is a clumsy cxpedient,
and not elegant, to say the least,
while Il short costume, just showing Il
pretty foot beneath, is both becoming
and infinitely more convenient. Can
the hesitation of our fair friends about
adopting this fashion be caused by the
non-existence of the pretty foot?

Deep Mines.


The deepest mine in the world now
worked is said to be the Adalbert lead
and silver mine in Austria, which is
$3.50 feet deep. The next is the Viviers
coal mine in Belgium, 2,S47 feet. 1t
was sunk to the depth of 1856 feet, but
no coal having been found, the working
is at the former level. The deepest coal
mines in England are the Dunkirk col
liery in Lancashire, 1924 feet, and the
Rosebride in the same locality, 2,458 feet.
The deepest mine in this country is the
Yellow Jacket of the Comstock Lode. 1t
is now $500 feet below the surface at
the mouth of the main shaft, and 1888
feet below the Gould and Curry crop
pings. The Savage stands second on the
list and the Imperial the third, both be-
ing nearly as deep as the Yellow Jacket.

One More Unfortunate.

Last Friday evening, at o'clock, VIM.
Sherrington committed suicide at the
European House, in this city, by taking
morphine. Deceased was an Englishman,
55 years of age, who came to Jackson
about twenty-five years ago and has lived
here from time to time ever since. By
profession he was machinist and engineer,
and at one time had amassed considerable
property, but for the past few years he has
suffered reverses. He leaves a wife who Is
at present in England. The particulars Of
his death, as far as we can learn, are as
follows: He came to Jackson from Madi-
son Station about two weeks ago, and up to
the time of his death had been drinking to
great excess. He went to his room in the
hotel Friday morning and did not again
appear. In the evening one of the en-
ployees of the hotel knocked for admission
at his door but received no response he
knocked again and called repeatedly but
with like result. Becoming alarmed he
called Mr.. Smith, clerk of the hotel, who,
with the assistance of Messrs. George Viii
liams and Mike Fay, forced an entrance
into the room. They found the unfortu
nate man in a dying condition, and in a
minute from the time they entered, and
before physician could be called, he was
dead. By his side was found an open
package of morphine He had on his per-
son a watch and a small amount of money.
He was buried Saturday morning by the
city authorities No cause is assigned for
the act

County Board of Health.

At a meeting of the County Board of Health,
held this, the 9th day of September, 1879, the
following resolutions were adopted to be sub
mitted ID the President of the Board of Super
visors for his approval and adoption:
1. ReS0iUed That the Board of Supervisors
be requested TO alter and amend the County
Quarantine Regulations now in force, to re-
quire all quarantine officers, and their assist
ants, to remain at their stations, and to COM
pletely isolate themselves from the citizens of
the county, and that citizens be forbidden to
visit the quarantine station.
9 Res0Lued, That the County Quarantine reg
ulations OBTAINING for fifteen days, all persons
coming from infected districts, shall not apply
cling under orders from and in discharge of the
duties of the National Board, provided, said
Inspectors are acclimated and not liable to an
attack of yellow fever, and, PrOrtded, further,
That they shall show to the Quarantine Of
fcers at the county line certificate that the
regulations of the National Board with regard
to disnfection, etc, have been complied with
and Pr0Cided, further, That said Inspectors shall
make a complete change of wearing apparel
and battle himself, and leave all baggage and
parcels outside the county. 1t shall be the duty
of the quarantine officer at any station, when
such Inspector shall present himself, to detain
him there until the Medical Inspector of the
County quarantine arrives, who shall see that
the above provisions are compiled with.
To quiet popular fears on this subject, it is
here stated as the opinion of this Board, and
they are sustained in it by the Medical profess
sion and the State and the National Boards, that
when such provisions carried out the per-
sons of an accimated individual cannot convey
the infection. FARRAR MORRISON,
President Board of Supervisors.

DIED.

In Memphis, Tenn, on Wednesday, Septem-
Der 10th, 1879, of yellow fever, SAM RICHARD
son, son of the late DIR. r. E. Ric hardson, in
the sd year of his age.
We copy the above from the Fayette Chroni-
Gle, and it is with feelings of more than usual
sadness that reproduce it in these columns.
The deceased was a native of Mississippi, and
reared from boyhood in the town of Fayette.
Six months ago he removed with his fathers
family from his old home to Memphis, Tenn
At the outbreak of the pestilence in that city
he remained with his father, who prac-
ticing physician, himself a student of medicine
and last week, after consigning to the dust the
remains of his dead parent, paid the penalty of
his filial love and devotion to duty with his
life These lines from the Chronicle will carry
weight of sorrow to many hearts, for Sam Rich
ardson was loved and honored by all who knew
him and who came under the influence of his
generous and ennobling nature. He graduated
at the University of Mississippi in 1873, and it
is safe to say that none who had ever gone be
fore him and carried away with them to a
greater extent the love and admiration of his
comrades and the respect and confidence of the
entire Faculty. He possessed of all those
higher qualities of heart and mind that make
man lovable. Honor, manhood and true
bility found in him their perfect embodiment.
BY his death the world has lost honorable
and upright man; the profession which he
had chosen has been deprived of the services
of one who would have reflected only credit
and dignity upon it. and void has been left
in the hearts of his friends which can never be
filled.
