HOW A GIRL FAsCTyArEs BIRDS.

There resides in the vicinity Of Harris
burg. Ohio-an out-ofthe-way place in
Hancock county. about three miles west
Of Mount Bianchard-a very remarkable
child only five years old. who seems to
have the power to charm birds at will
Her mother first noticed this strange fas-
cination that the child possesses. about a
year ago. The little girl was out playing
in the door-yard amongst bevy of snow
birds. and when she spoke tn 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 captor,
seemed to be highly pleased, AMI when
let loose would fly away a 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-doors,
but no sooner was the door opened than
the birds flew into the room again. lit
upon the girls head, and began 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 child became alarmed. believing
that this strange power was an evil omen,
and that the much dreaded visitor, Death
was about to visit their home. But Death
did not come and during the past sum
mer the child has had numerous pet birds.
The child handles the birds 80 gently that
hnmming-bird once in her hand does not
fail to return. Last winter q bevy Of
birds kept her company, and she PLAYED
with them for hours ut time. Every
morning the birds fly to her window. and
leave only when h, sun sinks in the west.
The parents Of the girl are poor, snper-
stitious people. and have been reticent
about the matter until lately, fearing that
some great calamity was about to befall
them.
