Tired Birds.

Many of our birds fly several thou
sand miles every autumn, passing not
only over Florida, where they might
find perpetual summer, but over the
Gulf and far beyond into the great sum-
mer-land of the Amazon; after short
stay returning again to the North, some
penetrating to the extreme shores of the
Arctic seas. How the small birds fly so
great distances is almost incomprehen-
sible; but l have seen many of our
small feathered friends on the little Key
of Tortugas, two hundred miles or more
from Cape Florida, the jumping-off
place of the United States. Great fiocks
of them would alight upon the walls of
the fort, especially during storms, evil
IDENTIFY thoroughly tired; but the next
day they were up and away off over
the great stretch of the Gulf and the
Caribbean Sea.
Numbers of the English birds and
many from Northern Europe make
yearly voyages down into the African
continent; and careful observers state
that they have seen the great storks. so
common in Germany, moving along
high in the air, bearing on their broad
backs numbers of small birds that had
taken free passage, or were, perhaps.
stealing u ride. In these wonderful
migrations many birds are blown out
to sea and lost, while others become so
fatigued and worn out that they will
alght upon boats. A New England
fisherman, who, in the autum follows
his calling fourteen or fifteen miles out
from shore, informed me that nearly
every day he had four or five small
birds as companions. They had wan
dered off from shore, or were flying
across the great bay on the lower coast
of Maine, and had dropped down to
rest. One day the same fisherman fell
asleep while holding his line; and upon
suddenly opening his eyes there sat

Fessenden, Secretary Of the Republican
National Committee, Las also issued the
following:
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS,
NEW YORK, November noon.
To the Republicans OF the Country:
We have carried New York. The official
count will confirm it, Blaine and Logan have
2ls electoral votes and are elected:
b. F. JONES, Chairman.
SAMUEL FEssENDEN, Secretary.
THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEE, HOFFMAN HOUSE,
NEW YORK, November 9, 1854.
We deem t our duty TO announce to the
ayers have within the last forty eight hours
conceived new scheme for throwing again
into dispute the result of the election in our
State. For many days after the election they
IN entire bad Tuiih claimed Tor the Republican
candidate several States which they knew
they had not carried. In the same bad faith,
the associated press, has demonstrated that
the vote of New York has been given to the
Cleveland electors, they still claim the State.
No fact of history is now better known than
that the result of the election as ascer-
tanned, declared and certified by the cleo ton
officers and of public record throughout the
State, give New York to Cleveland electors
by a decisive plurality. These public certi-
fed returns have been sifted in the several
counties by both parties with the most con-
scientious care during the last four days until
every pOSslDle OOuDt rs 10 tue result mas
been removed. Knowing this fact they now
propose as last desperate resort to make of
the Boards of County Canvassers throughout
the State, where controlled by them, so
many returning boards, after the pattern not
long since used by them I'm the Southern
States. Wherever the boards fail them,
judicial orders are to be applied for.
Thus relying upon the partisanship of
the board in the first place. and Judges
of their own political faith in the
second, they intend and expect to throw
again into dispute the result of the election
and involve 1t in interminable litigation.
To this end printed papers have been sent by
them to their agents and representatives in
every county in the State of New York to be
used with the courts whenever an occasion
can be manufactured. OF the entire rclia-
bility of our information as to this scheme
there car be no question. We call upon the
representatives of the party in the
various counties of this State to be
alert and by every proper method to
resist and defeat this desperate device,
and mindful of the grave consequences to
the business interests of our State, which
such a conspiracy necessarily involves, we
deem IL our duty to assure our people who
have now generally acquiesced in the result
that they may confidently rely that by no
such scheme or device will the State be de-
prived of the result of its deliberate choice.
1t may disturb and protract the determine
ton, but it will not change the result.

How Cleveland and Blaine Spent tho
Sabbath Day.

AUGUSTA, Me-, November 9.--This has
been a beautiful and quiet day in Augusta.
Mr. Blaine continues to receive large and
constantly increasing number of letters and
kilograms from all parts of the country in
dcating profound interest in the situation
in New York. He has made no
expression of opinion beyond the as
sertion of his belief that the Re-
publican electoral ticket received ma
jority of the legal votes cast on the day of
election He declines to discuss with any
one the details of the situation. Inquiries
about Mr.. Blaine's health continue, though
they are less numerous than last week.
He has entirely recovered from the fatigue
incident to the campaign and is in
exceptionally fine health. Better as
he tells all who ask him than he has
been for ten years past. He remarked to 4
friend yesterday that his Western tour,
though at time very laboriOus and fatigu-
ing had proved, he thought, beneficial to
his health.

JOSEPH S. c. ROWLAND, son Of DIR. Row
land, of Hartford, Conn.,. y years old. who
had been apparently in perfect health, died
after a few hours illness in excruciatlng pain
on Saturday night. As it was the first illness
the boy had ever experienced, and as his
death followed so suddenly, it was decided to
hold an autopsy. This was done by
DR.. Knight, assisted by Drs. Otis, Fuller and
Booth, of Hartford. and DR.. Tabor, of
Wethersfeld. They found an immense can
Ger, weighing four pounds, surrounding the
heart. 1t had its formation in the thymus
gland. The heart had been compressed into
One-haf its normal size, and the left lung
was badly crushed. 1t is believed that the
action Of the cancer was the severest toward
the end. Hence the pain the boy suffered.
The physicians were greatly surprised at the
result OF their autopsy, as the presence OF q
cancer was wholly unexpected. On consult
ing the highest medical authority no similar
case could be found. The case will be writ
ten up for several medical journals, and,
without doubt, will bring forth considerable
discussion.
