Got the Wrong Men.

Ga Tuesday last two gentlemen came
here from Wilmington for the purpose of
looking at ii horse or horses belonging to Mr..
NJ. Drennen having made appointment
to this effect. The same morning Unstable
L"gate, of Newark, had received notice
from the vicinity of Oxford on some where
i'll pcnnsy lvania, north of Newark, that a
pair Of horses had been stolen the night
previous and describing Them, Constable
Lc%ate had noticed the pa irof horses driven
through Newark by the Wilmington gen
ticrnen an hour before, and not knowing
the occupants OF the team, and the horses
answering the description OF the stolen ones
he concluded that they were the ones he
wanted, without Il doubt. He hurried on to
this town, sworc out Il warrant before
Squire Gilpim, and the gentlemen rotwitl-
standing their protests, were hustled oft To
theSlure'S office. The visitors were loud in
their denuuciat;onS of their arrest, and after
they had proven their identity, wanted to
handle Constable L"gatc, who WAS the
clase of their troubles. The gentlemen are
known to scores of persons her., and their
arrest WAS one of the most stupid pieces of
official laundering tia. ever came under
our notice.

fields and endeavored to reproduce, as best
! could, their freshness in my descriptions
The report, though necessarily incomplete.
IS at least true and impartial one No two
persons see the same things in nature. What
escapes one eye, may be patent to an
other Doubtless these observations have
been made before by others and may be
repeated by walk to the nearest woodland.
The study OF ORTHODOXY does not merely
imply collection of eggs and skins or the
stuffed specimens, and it has been the OBJ
jcct of these notes TO awaken an interest in
the HUtng birds, the birds as we see and hear
them in their native haunts. All cannot
question nature by scientific methods, but
all may gather much knowledge of no less
Importance, which the scientific men often
miss.
The fauna of Vermont is not essentially
different from that of New Hampshire, be-
ing determined by the climatic and physical
conditions which in the two States are nearly
identical. This is not true in the same de-
gree, OF the plants which are more suscept-
ible to geological changes, These notes are
the result OF study in both States
About t,o0 hUndyeddistinct species OF birds
have been noticed in Vermont and the num-
Der of mammals would probably not much
exceed fourth Of this number. An an
notated list Of all species known to the State
has been prepared as a supplement TO these
papers. 1t will be seen that considerable
portion of the subject has been left I'M
touched, but even if the furred inhabitants
had been treated, wide field would still
remain, as the Fauna Of the State includes
all the forms of its animal life.
