An exchange remarks that the early snow
of this season will be severe on the partridg-
es. These birds hidden in the grass and
brush. remain in their haunts while the
snow falls, which covers them up. They
remain thus covered for several days, and
NAV perish under the hardening snow crust
Hunters familiar with this habit of the birds
often catch them alive in these hidden piac-
cs. The warm breath Of the partridge eaus-
es the snow TO melt and their presence may
be detected by the air-boles seen on the sur
face of the snow. Many birds viii starve
FOR want Of food after the snow covers the
earth. Farmers should now protec. and
feel the birds abou, their farms. Take pity
on the poor partridges they are bard work
crs. when the crops are growing, destroying
worms. aud insects.

THE RArIRoADs AND THE People. Mr..
F. b. Thurber, of New York, furnishes TO
the December ScRIBSER a paper which viii
be widely read, and which bids fair to ere
ate considerable excitement 1t is entitled
"The Railroads and the People" and it pre-
sents most forcibly the recent exposures OF
corruption in the great railroad mOnopolies
OF this country. The November issue was
the larges ever printed; it contained one
hundred and seventy pages, and was crowd
ed with brilliant pictures and articles of
more than usual interest.
/ 0fthe success of ScRIBNER's in England,
Mr. Jennings writes as follows TO the New
/ York World
What l was going to tell you about was
the wonderful way in which American mag
azincs are getting on in London. Sc-ibners
has had a very large sale here for some few
years past, and its circulation must now be,
think. fully as great as that Of any Eng
/ lish magazine, and it would not surprise me
to hear that it is greater. Its illustration
have made its way easy for it. 4 very dis
! tinguished wood-engrlver once told me that
no work done in England in his line nova
days is worthy to be compared with what
he saw every month in Seri5Her. II men
toned his name there is no one on either
side ofthe Atlantic who would dispute his
fitness to pronounce an opinion on such a
subject. The rapid advance of ScribHer IS
easily accounted for, and is thoroughly well
deserved.
The price Of .ScriJacr's Monthly is 500 a
year, and new subscribers who begin with
November number may secure by the pay
ment of $l.00 additional, nine back num-
bers, containing all OF. Part l. of Schuyler 5
now famous serial history of Peter the Great,
of which Rev. Edward Eggleston recently
wrote: 1T is indeed a wonderful story,
needing no aid to the imagination to make
| it one of the most curious in human histo-
~"
For $50 extra, the two richly bound
volumes of last year may be had in connec-
ton with years subscription. Book-seli-
crs everywhere or the publishers, scribner
& Co, 7I3 Broadway, New York, will sup
iply the numbers and volumes.
