DenthiOt the Birds.

Large numbers OF p1rtridge| have been
seen in tue streets OF the city during tie
past week. They are here evidently t.
seek food aud protection from the AleXan-
dria Game Association. The extreme Geld
weather has driven them TO this their lJSt
resort, aud their cry Of need demands care
ful consideration. These birds feed on seeds
and berries found on the ground, and as II
i hardly likely that the heavy snow which
covers up their food VIII be off the earth
for many weeks, their destruction from
starvation is almost certain; at least they
will die TO an extent that viii affect
hunting for several years. a few that
manage to gather around the straw
stacks in the fields may be preserved, but
their less fortunate companions must die.
A gentleman from the country says that on
Tuesday last he found some twenty part
ridges buddied together, too weak to fly.
He carried them home and put them In a
coop, where he intends 10 feed them aud
then let them 90, which is an example
worthy OF imitation. ii Is against the law
to catch them in traps, which would seem
to be the only way their lives can be pre-
served now. All kinds OF game are fTetz-
