Our Bennington correspondent dips
his pen in rosewater and writes as fol-

has some novel pets in the shape of
three skunks that run and play about
the dooryard with as much freedom as
kittens or chickens. They were caught
in the woods a short time ago, and all
three looked as much alike as three
pins. A sudden or threatening move
ment will cause them to assume Il war
like attitude, but they have been de-
prived of offensive characteristics.
Many go to see them, as few have had
the opportunity to see live skunk

The adjourned meeting to take into

held ut the Y. NJ. G.. A. rooms last
Monday night and was quite fully at
tended, although a majority of those

The female does not build her nest
until late in the season, after the first

ly a seed eating bird, the same author
referred to, observes the cause of this
delay is ''that they would be unable
to find in the spring, those milky seeds
which are the necessary food for their
young, which may be easily dissolved
by the stomach" During the breed
ing season the goldfinches separate
no more drifting in fiocks until their
broods are reared, when the young and
the old come together to drift from
place to place where the best feeding
ground can be found. They are no.

word more about their song. 1t is very
different from the plaintive call-note
above referred to. 1t is sweet, bril-
liant and pleasing, especially so, when
given as a solo. Its notes are sweeter,
higher, more fiute-like, and prolonged
than the purple finch, the difference
being best described, by comparing
the song of the goldfinch to a sweet
soprano voice, and the purple finch to
that of a sweet contralto voice.

Our Native Birds.

One of the most graceful birds, in
its flight, is the beautiful GoLDFINCH
or THISTLE BIRD. About the size of
the canary bird, Il brilliant yellow with
black wings, and tail, and with black
patch on the crown. This, the spring
and summer plumage, while in Sep
TENDER the black cap disappears, and
the general plumage changes to pale
tiaxen brown, with pale yellow about
the head. The female is less attrac-
tive as to color, having a graver
plumage, the yellow having a soiled
appearance, still the general markings
are similar to the male. In the early
part of the season and until nearly
Trough June they are seen in tlOcks.
Their flight is in deep curved lines, as
if swinging, alternately rising and
falling after each prOpelling motion
of their wings. The male bird seldom
describes one of these curves without
uttering two or three plaintive notes
while ascending. The familiar pc pee
ep, giving the rising infection upon the
last syllable, i'll very cOaxing way,
calls attention, and as we look up we
NAV see dozen or more of these
/ bright, gay, creatures swing past over
our heads, and all alight on the top
of nearby tree to engage in one OF
| their remarkable concerts. Mr.. Fowler
describes it as follows:
During spring and summer they
rove about in small fiOcks, and in July
will assemble together in considerable
numbers on n tree seemingly for nc
other purpose than to sing. These
concerts are held by them on the fore
noon of each day for week or ten
days, after which they soon build then
nests am inclined to believe that
this is the time of their cOurtship, and
that they have purpose in their meet
ings beside that of singing. If per
chance one is heard in the air, the
males utter their call-note with great
emphasis, particularly if the new
conner is a female; and while in hel
undulating flight, she describes a cir.

look so on their arrival, though in
most cases there is but little objection
to receiving them into the family.
