The English Sparrows,

The Newington correspondent of the Hart forcl Times writes: Anyone skeptical as to the great increase of English sparrows here this season has but to see the fiocks of sev- eFaT hundred that make their abode in the vicinity of the depot to be apprehensive that ill a few years they will be a decided hui sance and a serious pest in grain fields. At the po7toffice at the Center there is large colony of them. Speaking of birds, we wish to refer to an article noticed in a recent num- Der of Forest and Stream. There are many following the occupation thus described: "The shiftless fellow, too lazy to earn an honest living, who skulks about the fields and woods, killing swallows, larks and pewees, should be treated just exactly as we treat the wretch who burns barns and steals horses" Statistics are given which show that from single village on Long Island during the last four months total of not less than 10000 birds were furnished through dealers and taxidermists to inilli- ners! These were all birds that destroy worms and are a protection to the farmer, who, through the wholesale bird slaughter all over the country, is losing thousands of his best friends each year. If we could only get up boom in English sparrows what good might be done! But in the case of the useful birds it will be necessary to call the attention of our game warden to the reck- less destruction of birds in this vicinity"

The Greek Club.

The next oldest literary club at New Yo TX after the Century, is the Greek club, which meets every Friday night at the house of it's members. The Greek club, however, is a very select and informal organization. Twen- ty-five years ago Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby was sitting in barber's shop on Sixth ave hue, being shaved. While going through this operation, Prof. Drisler, now of Colum- bia college, came into the shop for the same purpose, and, as the two learned gentlemen sat in their barbers chairs, Dr. Crosby said to Prof. Drisler that he thought it wpuld be 8 good idea if there was a small club organ ized for the benefit of few men with tastes for Greek literature, so that they could meet once a week and read and discuss the classic poets. Prof. Drisler thought the idea good one. From this sprang the Greek club, which now numbers 2S members, Dr. Crosby and Prof. Drisler being the only two of the orig inal members still living. The members of the Greek club are very proud of their mem bership and very fond of their club, and it would have to be 8 very strong inducement to keep them away from any one of it's meet ings. It was while on his way to meeting of the Greek club, last winter, with a copy of Euripides under his arm, that Dr. Crosby slipped on his ice-bound front steps and sus- tained injuries that laid him up for longer time than so active man cares to be housed. And it is rather amusing that on that same night two other members of the Greek club, on their way to the meeting, slipped on the icy pavement and had to be carried home. One of them, if I am not much mistaken, broke his leg, and the other merely turned his ankle or something of that sort, and was soon out again. The Greek club is the only organization of it's kind in the world that I know of, and, notwithstanding the fact that Greek is so vigorously taught in our colleges, there are very few graduates who are sui ficiently up in the language to thoroughly en- joy it's literature.

solomon in the shade.

From the CeleSJlal or OHauBnalI
 When Solomon was asked to decide which of two women child belonged to, he called for his sword and proposed to cut the child in two, and give half to each; the real mother went into mysteries, and Solomon de cided in her favor But at the Mixed court Friday morning,a an actual division was made, and Solomon's judgment was in the shade. The chattel in dispute was black dog, with his tail clipped bare except at the extremity, which still retained some long hair. The dog was quite unconcerned, and went snuff fng around the arena and under the court table at the magistrates feet, or wherever his tether would allow him to extend his ex- plorations. The claimants for the dog were butcher and @ washer man. The butchers assistant held a string in his hand with the dog at the end of it. The washerman held basket in his hand containing hair which he had clipped from the dog's tail, and which he produced in proof of ownership. MT. Howes, inspector of markets, stated that he had known the butcher for many years, and he had seen the dog at his place; and he believed that the dog belonged to the butcher. It was also stated by the police that an experiment had been tried at Hongkow police station; the washer man called on the dog, but it would not fol low him: but when the butcher called the deg heard his masters voice and knew the sound thereof. As last resort to prove that the dog loved him and belonged to him, the washerman pulled off his jacket and showed a plaster stuck between his shoulder blades, saying that the dog bit him there. The magistrate decided in favor of the wash errnan so far that he was allowed to keep the basketful of hair, and the butcher was allow ed to take the rest of the dog.

memOrIaI Windows.

The two memorial windows in St. James Episcopal church, Birmingham, are very handsome ones. The Sentinel says: The one to Miss Caroline Shelton, who died last Jan uary, has two panels containing full length figures, half life size, of Faith and Hope, with flower and landscape work on cathedral glass, and in quiet dark colors, but of which by more transparent glass flashes lilies, pas sion flowers, the cross and other emblematic objects. Vis-a-vis to this is the Sunday school window lately erected having for its subject "Christ blessing little children D This window is one continuous scene, the mullion being included in the architecture of the piece. In the background is introduced hint of the scene where the Saviour re- buked those who sought to turn away the children, bringing the repulse and the bless ing thus in contrast. This window is also of cathedral glass, painted with opals and roundels introduced into the ventilators, and is from the establishment of Colgate & Co.,, New York. The other is from the London establishment of Charles Booth,

An Awful Afternoon in Goshen.

We had an awful afternoon Friday. Light ming flashed and thunder rolled. An oak tree was struck on the Merwin farm, wire fence on Ivy Mountain had the posts split and tel ephone poles were damaged. The Calvin Futile house occupied by Daniel Lucas was struck and injured, but no one was hurt. Immediately after great explosion at the center, fire was seen bursting out of the hay in the barn of Frederick E. Hurlbut. In an incredibly short time seventy-four men and boys were carrying water assisted by about twenty women and MT. Hurlbut's new house was drenched with water. To save the house it was absolutely nec- essary to save Mrs. Beardsley's barn, which was done by men and boys on the roof throw ing water. All they could do at Mrs. Hurl butts great barn was to get blackboard and a horse which was burned about the head Nothing could have been done without the ladders from the neighbors, as those in the barn were blazing. MT. Wait B. Wilson, at West Torrington, has the best arrangement, a narrow roof, over two good ladders in the yard near the barn.-Litchfield Enquirer Corr.
