Experiments with Hawks and Owls.

Experiments with Hawks and Owls.
 Dr. Wood, of East Windsor Hill, the we'll known Connecticut ornithologist, whose col lection of eggs alone numbers between 5000 and 10000, and includes some which cost him $50 apiece, has been experimenting with hawks eggs for matching under setting hen His experiments were successful every time and the result shows that a published work by certain Philadelphia ornithologist in it's statement of the time required for hatch ing the eggs of different hawks is all wrong and evidently mere guesswork. The doctors experiments show that for the eggs of the red shouldered hawk and in fact for those of every species of hawk he has tried about twice the length of time is required for incu- bation that is named in the Philadelphia and some other works on oology. He has found no hawks eggs that will hatch inside of twenty eight days, and many of them require thirty days Owls eggs are difficult to suc- ceed with, under hen. All owls lay a white egg, nearly round but the shell is so thin that under hen the eggs get broken, and Dr. Wood failed to hatch any owls eggs. He discovered, as was stated, we be- ieve, in one of his papers on e'The Birds of Connecticut (published some eighteen years ago in the IInaes), that one kind of owl known in this State, namely, the great horned owl, has the singular habit of nesting in February. In that inhospitable winter month, fatal to all other young birds, the young owls are born. pair of this species of large owls, selecting some aban- doned nest of crow or hawk (they never build their own, usually in high tree, will lay their eggs and rear their young-snow- surrounded, and in weather well fitted, often times to make an arctic fox bark with the cold. The owls deep mass of soft feathers comes into play here-as it also does in mak- ing possible silent flight when prey is to be bounced upon. The female never leaves the nest to go far, and her mate promptly takes her place if she is of for more than a minute or two-H0rtford Tunes.

St. John Street M. E. Church.

The~services in this church were of a very interesting character on Sunday last. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Barnhart, preached spoken of as showing marked ability. At the Sunday school very interesting and in structive address was given under the direc- tion of the Juvenile Missionary society, by MT. J. Matincheff, native of Bulgaria, who is to return missionary to his native land. The familiar hymn sEFrom Greenland's Icy Mountain was sung by him in his native tongue and was also sung by the school. Rev. William P. Corbit, of Brooklyn, a preacher of great eloquence as we'll as eceen- tricity, will preach for Mir. Barnhart, both morning and evening, next Sunday.
 A correspondent says: The music in this church, under the direction of Organist Smith, is of very pleasing character, al- though the choir Is not as large as formerly, when Prof. Jepson manipulated the organ. As matter of interest in regard to the ''mu- sicap controversy now existing in this church, 1t has been stated in some of the pa- pers that Mir. Jepson was not originally en- gagged by the music committee of the church, but by the church itself The following ex- tract from the records of the board of trus- tees will throw some light on the subject:
 NEW HAVEN, March 16, 1870.
 Meeting opened with prayer by the pastor, Rev. A. Hill, the object of the meeting being to consult the subject of procuring organ for the St. John street church pursuant to vote taken at meeting of said church, at which meeting the trustees were respectfully requested to engage the services of Prof. B. Jepson to superintend the construction of the same.
 On motion of l. N. Damn, committee of i've was appointed to contract for organ suitable for the church. B. Jepson, J. Matthewmsn, A Storer, I. N. Damn and J. Farnsworth were chosen such commit tee.
 The music committee were instructed to employ Professor Jepson at salary of $600 if this cannot be done, at $7O0 I. N. Damn, J. Matthewman and ". s. Dowd were appointed to act in the matter. The members of the music committee, consisting of l. N Damn, J. MattheWman, ". S. Dowd and J. Greenleaf, met with the trustees according to vote.
