How Girl Of fFive Years Easel mates
the BlPds.

From the Forest (Shio) Review.
We learn from correspondent that
there resides in the vicinity Of Harris
burg, in an out-of-the-way place in
Hancock county, about three miles west
Of Mount Bladchard, avery remarkable
child, only five years old, who seems to
have the power to charm birds at will.
Her mother first noticed this strange
fascination that the child possesses a.
bout year ago. The little girl was
playing in the door-yard among bsvy
of snow birds, AID 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 she
might hurt them, put them out Of the
doors, but no sooner was the door open
than the birds flew into the room again,
and lit upon the girls head and began
to chirp. The birds remained about the
premises all winter, flying to the little
girl whenever the door was. opened
The parents of the child became alarmed,
believing that this strange power was
an ill omen, and that the much h-drsad-
cd visitor, death, was about TO visit
their home. But the death did not
come, and during last summer the
child has had numerous pets from the
birds. The child handles the birds 90
gently that . hummiDg bird once in
her hands does not fail to return. This
winter a bsvy Of birds have kept her
company, and she plays with them
hours at a time. Every morning the
birds fly to her window and leave only
when the sun sinks in the west. The
parents Of the girl are poor, supsrsti-
tious people, and have been reticent a.
bout the matter until lately, fearing
that some great calamity was about to
befall them.

E01d;oo Wbgls

A real whale was caught in the Ran.
tan Bay, near Port Monmouth. The car
cass of the enormous fish was anchored
near an old fsh-oil factory, where the
lucky fishermen who struck bonanza
in the capture of sperm whale melted
the blubber in large iron pots.
The whale was first seen about sun
rise by u fisherman named Ludlow, on
Port Comfort Shoals, about nine miles
from Sandy Hook. He saw. the large
black object in the water, but thought it
was a wreck of some vessel, and did not
20 near it. George Pope, also fisher
man, went out in a small boat for the
purpose of catching some oysters, and on
nearing the shoals noted the large dark
body in the water. On approaching IL,
he found that it was q large, live 6sh Of
some kind, and, having no other weapon,
he commenced Sticking his oyster knife
into the side of the whale, but, seeing
that it had no effect, he went to the
shore and procured the assistance Of a
fellow fisherman with an axe.
They returned to where the whale was
still lying; the boat was then backed up
to the whales head, when one Of the
men commenced chopping it in the head
with the axe. Fortunately for the boat
men, the whale did not struggle much
until they were some distance away,
when it commenced to founder, and
roll, and in a short time succeeded in
getting off the shoaI and started toward
Sandy Hook. The fishermen, not know
ing the danger they were in, started after
it and tried to catch or drive it toward
the shore by throwing their anchor into
its spout, and at one time, while thus
endeavoring to catch the enormous fish,
it passed under their boat, almost lifting
it out of the water. The whale was fol-
lowed down the bay several miles, and
with the aid of other fishermen, who
were in boats, it was driven ashore.
With scythe borrowed from a neigh
boring farmer, the whale was finally
killed by stabbing in the side. A
schooner then took the carcass in tow and
brought it to the Brays landing.
Captain Bilson, who is an old whaler,
and has been in the South Indian seas,
stated that this was a very large COW
whale, it being thirty-hVe feet long and
about nine in diameter, and yielding
over thirty barrels Of sperm oil.
