Strange Birds.

On Monday, the 22d, Mr.. G. w.
Gibbons Dissolved the nest of some
large bird of prey in tall oak near
the Round Hill. He climbed the
tree and procured the young ones,
which were completely covered with
a sort of white down closely resem-
bling the wool of a young lamb The
birds aroused the curiosity of all who
saw them. After they were shown to
several gentlemen here in town, who
were well versed in ornothology, they
came to the conclusion that they were
species of fish eagle" and the fact
that fish's head was found in the
nest and that there was only two
young ones both lead to authenticate
their opinion. The birds were quite
young when taken but are growing
rapidly. They have every character
istic of the fish eagle, and eat nothing
but raw meat. The gentleman in
tends to raise them. - Winchester

this, and not be mean, but happy.
Let us endeavor so to do and to in

necessity of storing up sustenance

Portable living. This not by way of

Few things are more fascinating in their
way than study of the subterranean his
tory of man, whether in caves or in mounds,
whether it be to corroborate written his
tory, or to take testimony that ante-dates
all writing. President Bartlett, of Dart
mouth, contributes an interesting article
on this topic to the July number Of the
North american ReUieW. From the men
of unknown ages and their works under
ground, to men graphing with the latest
questions of our own day and discussing
the parceling out Of the earth's surface, Is
long step; but in the same number of
the REVIEW appears conversation be-
tween David Dudley Field and Henry
George, on land and ON taxation. Another
urgent question, which may soon make a
very serious issue, the extradition of dy-
Mantle criminals, is debated by President
Angel, of Michigan University, George
Ticknor Curtis, and Justice Il. M. Cooley.
Dorman b. Eaton, chief of the OWL Ser
vice Commission, gives his views of the
results of that reform, William Clarke
shows the futile character of any scheme
Tor British imperial federation, and Thomas
w. Knox gives brief but interesting
sketch of the progress of European influ-
ence in Asia. The other articles are one
by Gail Hamilton on Prohibition in prac-
tice, and one by Rev. DIR. c. III. Parkhurst
on the decline of Christianity. These,
with the batch of free-hand Comments,
make up number Of unusual interest. If
the allotted age of man were sufficient for
magazine, we might have to part here
with an old friend; for the REVIEW has
just completed its SEVENTEEN year. Bat
outwardly it renews it's youth with new
cover, and inwardly it seems more vigorous
than ever.

No WHINING.-"lrade has been quiet
this season." This is the mournful cry
heard on every hand. We are glad to say
that We are not candidates for public SYM
patty. On the contrary we congratulate
ourselves that despite general depression
in business our sales have been entirely
satisfactory. Here are the reasons:
I've buy our goods for cash. .'For
cash. means lowest prices and n liberal
discount.
I've make moderate and reasonable
profit on what we sell Except on some
lines where the profit is so modest that it
is out of our sight).
3-We aim to tell the simple truth about
our goods. Overpraise may make one sale
but how about the next? We want to keep
our customers.
1--WE watch the market closely and
keep on hand the freshest and newest
styles.
5-We have one price for all. Your little
child can buy as cheaply as you can.
Eve do not expect you to buy every
time you look at. We want you 10 examine
what we have. We are always glad to see
you.
These are our cardinal principles. They
will tell in the long run. They have been
very advantageous to our business. DO
you like them? Ii you do come and look
ut our line of dress goods, carpets. &c.

compiled and published by Messrs. NJ.

ECONOMIZE.

Business is Frustrated. The re-
cord of failures for the first six
months of 1885 aggregates over one
thousand more than for the same
time in 1884. True, the sum total of
amount is less, but this only shows
that the larger concerns and those
farthest from shore, were wrecked
then. Now, it is the safer men-the
small capitalists, and the more pru-
dent venturers who are going over
board. Prices are going down
wages decreasing employment scarce
midsummer here and the winter
approaching. In agriculture, the
drouth has ruined the hay crop, in
the wheat fields where fifteen and
twenty bushels per acre of the gold
en- grain has been the rule rather
than the exception, scarcely a
third of that can be found. The
corn grows steadily, but it's fate is
as yet undetermined. Fertilizer and
machinery notes will mature wheth-
er the crops do or not. 1t is uphill
work for the farmer. There is but
one remedy-economy. Not such
close-fsted, rigid Tightening of the
reins as would produce unhappiness
and make life burden, but prudent,
sensible management stoppage of
leaks and waste, and wise but not
illiberal watchfulness of expendi-
