SPARRoWS ON A SPREE.

The Kingston IN, W Freeman tells curl
GUS story or an ornithological jamboree which
took place there recently. A local entomolo-
gist having on his shelf several bottles of in
sects preserved in spirits for which he had no
further use, emptied them upon the ash heap
in his back yard. No sooner had he emptied
the bugs than the srarrows lit all over the heap
in perfect cloud, swallowed the bugs, and in
about ten minutes were drunk--drunk as men
could get-and cut up the same idiotic capers.
They fought 10 free fights of half dozen, a
dozen and in fifties, and suddenly half of one
party would break off from their fight and dasE
into some of the other fracases. Almost all the
nests were pulled down and the whole colony
was in state of anarchy and the direst confu
sion. The whole drunk was over in half an
hour, but that short time served to allow the
cats to slaughter over fifty of the sparrows
whose combatative qualities and forgetfulnes;
had brought them too near the ground Not q
sparrow has been seen in that neighborhood
since.

What Bloomsbury needs more than anything
else is the investment Of capital in some sort of
manufacturing interests that will bring trade
and money to us by increasing the population
OF the town. In the last ten years the number
of inhabitants has only been enlarged about
three hundred, while in Berwick it has increas,
ed by three times as many. The rolling mill
and car shops there give employment to great
many people, and TO these establishments that
town is greatly indebted for its thrift and pro-
gress. In order to bring something of the kind
here, inducements must be held out TO capital
lists. In many places ground has been given
by the citizens to companies of manufacturers
| and in other places buildings have been erect
ed for the use of such companies. Why can
not our people offer land TO any capitalist that
will come here and start a mandatory oI
some Kind? 1t would be great help to the
town, by giving employment to all the laboring
classes. 1t would bring new people here; il
| would necessitate the erection of large num-
Der of dwelling houses, and this would give
work TO our carpenters and mechanics. II
would put more money in circulation, and
double our population before another census il
taken. Let US think over this matter, and mo-
slumber while neighboring towns are getting iaI
in advance Of us by reason of their greater en-
ttrprise,

county can be found half the stock
we have on our rack, Our stock
contains great variety of styles
and material, fancy and plain, run
ming in price from 10 cents to
$500. In making our selections,
our first move was to find q relia-
bic manufacturer, and to confine
ourselves to but one line Of goods,
thereby avoiding great deal of
worthless auction stock. We try
to sell as good a whip as you are
willing to pay for, so if you are
not willing to pay much,you must
not expect much.

should be prevented as far as possible by the
parents of the urchns. One little fellow came

tail-gate of a wagon with other striplings,
when loosing his hold he fell 10 the ground

of passing horse. This incident should be

who are addicted to fun ofthat kind. The
