Of these birds congregate there nightly
during the seasons of their visits 10 this
section Of the country. They fly away
OF mornings to their feeding places in
the woods and fields Of Indiana and
Kentucky, distant from the roost in many
instances from one hundred to three
hundred miles, returning again at night,
the arrivals often continuing up to mid
night. The timber on thousands OF acres
covered by this roost is broken down
badly, large limbs being snapped of like
reeds by tho accumulated weight of the
birds upon them. Throughout the
entire night is heard the cracking and
crashing Of limbs, the hum and furry
and drumming Of wings, the explosion
OF firearms and the confusion and bed
lamic thrashing sounds caused by peo-
pie beating the birds from the trees with
long poles. Thousands OF pigeons are
killed nightly, but all this slaughter

Poverty of Spanish Mines.

A correspondent %iourneying through
Spain, contrasts the prosperity of mines
in this country with those of Cartagena,
and says it is almost il credible how the
miners live ON The fare furnished and
the wages paid them, They receive for
twelve hours labor the astonishing sum
Of nine reals, or forty.6ve cents; while
tie food provided fer each man is as
follows: Breakfast, three.fourths pound
Of bread; garlic in oil; ground red pep
per and water. Dinner, same as break
fast, with a few potatoes and beans. -
Eupper, same as breakfast. This, be it
understood, is paid for out OF their
wages-a state of affairs it would be
well to describe to the English and
American miners who strike on several
times the amount. The common peo-
pie OF Spain appear to eat nothing but
a little bread and fruit, and to drink
very little liquor; while even the better
classes eat sparingIy of meat, the ladies
rarely touching wine at table. 1t is diff.
cult, however. to realize how men who
work twelve hours a day-and that I'M
derground-can subsist upon the starva-
tion diet Of the miners near Cartagena.

s.Alas , for the Rarity.,

The warden of the state prison at Ban
gor, Me-, recently related a curious
story. A young woman who served out
a sentence of five years found means Of
education, and becoming thoroughly re-
formed and a Christian, left the prison
in appearance a lady. She was employed
by q dry goods firm in Portland as sales
woman, and gave perfect satisfaction to
her employers, till one day a wealthy
lady Of the place entered the store and
recognized her. Calling the proprietor
aside, she told him that the girl had
been in the state prison. He replied
that he knew it, but that she had done
Der duty faithfully, and that they were
well satisfied with her. WELL said the
lady, if you keep her in your store I
will neither trade with you myself nor
suirer any Of my friends to, il I can help
it, So the proprietor, rather than lose
his customer. called in the poor girl and
discharged her.
