There was shower Of birds one
night last week in Morris. During a
rain storm the air suddenly filled with
the feathered visitors and many of

the birds were of variety seldom
seen in the north. but quite common
in more southern attitudes.

Tuesday afternoon with the Darnen

somewhere and unless it is rectified
the boys don't know what to do with
the s. p, in question unless they

meritorious flreladdie of the year.

immemorial rs a means for calling the

and fixtures is $50 pounds, and it was
safely put in position by Mr.. VIM. b.
Hancock.
