Don't kill the little birds, the little birds

Don't kill the little birds, the little birds,
That sing about your door,
Is one of the doggerel lines with moral appen-
dix as familiar to the youthful mind as the
leading question "Who was the first man ~
The magnitude of the question is deeply i'm
pressed on the youthful imagination, but the
moral of the lines is not so apparent on the
face of things since the introduction of the
slung.shot. The latter has indeed become an
intolerable nuisance, and during out Of school
hours stones are as thick in the air where
boys congregate as gnats at a freight. Young
chickens, birds, rs well as the humankind
suffer in consequence. One west slider we
know of has lost not less than dozen young
chickens, died from bruises received from the
slung- shot. The number Of wild birds killed
is, of course, not down In the returns. But
the slung shot is nuisance that should be
sat down on, and few judiciously admins
tered fines for killing birds, at $500 a piece
under the statute would stop it. Can't this be
done?

A Genuine Boom.

Booms are not numerous in Ottawa this sea.
son, but the dress goods sale begun this week
at IL. j. GlLLEN's has been genuine sample
of that delightful condition Of business affairs.
The new openings of silks at the astonishingly
low prices limited at on last Saturday (and the
TEN was only mere hint, for the truth can
only be appreciated by an inspection OF the
goods themselves) have astonished all who
have seen them, and the sales have been
something unprecedented in the history OF
silk stocks in Ottawa. Indeed, the universal
testimony is that the new stock OF summer
silks is, by far, the finest ever opened in Otta-
wa, and the idea Of summer silks of good and
reliable quality, choice in colorings, and in
every way desirable, selling as low as BIC is
one that not many people can take in all at
once; yet this is the fact. The stock is going
fast, and bargains should be secured carly.
Then the other accessory lines Of dress
goods in the way of brocade buntings at &c.,
good lawns in desirable shades at from Sc to
Toe; ginghams at &c to lie, and the choice
line OF white goods, embroidered suits, &c,
at the same low scale of prices has added to
to the great success of this special sale during
the week, and the activity of sales
even yesterday, dull as the town was,
showed no sign of diminution. The sale has,
in fact, made decided hit, it has struck the
right keynote; and summer wear in dress
goods, as well as in parasols, fans, hosiery,
gloves, and general notions can be had at
nrirps that have never been puualed in this
city.
The stock of carpets, curtains, and all win
dow dressings is practically entirely new, and
is offered at the old prices, in spite of the ad-
vance in many lines.
The whole house is full of seasonable new
goods in all departments, and all are requested
to call and examine the stock and get prices.

Another big blow came on last Sunday eve
nlng, which made things lively around Ottawa
for while. The western heavens were as
black as ink and long before the storm struck
the town the roar Of its approach could be
heard like tie rattle of II railroad train round.
ing the rocks at Buffalo Rock as is often
heard on a calm evening. Every loose thing
was caughtup and the air was full of missiles
OF all sorts and description, dust, &c. Limbs
were blown from many trees, but no great
amount of tamage was done in the city. AT
Seneca, however, considerable damage was
done, the most being that to the NJ. f. church
in the village. The blow struck the church
during services, causing the plastering to fall
on the heads of the occupants in places, and
after the congregation had hastily left the
building, the wind caught it up and moved 1t
some IL t. Is inches out Of plumb. In the
country aIound much damage was done farm
buildings, windmills, &c. The storm was
general throughout the country, but Seneca
seems to have been the victim so far rs dan
ger is concerned.

Buy S. B. wilkins Co.'S Rockford son.

Prof. Stockdale, county superintendent OF
schools, announces to-day the outline pro-
gramme Of the annual summer institute for
teachers, which will be found in our advertis-
ing columns on the fifth page. The corps of
teachers in instruction is an able one, and a
most valuable line of work may be expected
These summer institutes have been very use
full to teachers thus far, and it is the aim to
make each succeeding one better than the
last, and the work this summer will be as
thorough and as interesting as it is possible to
make it. Teachers looking to examinations
for full grade certificates will find the work of
this summer school will be Of great value to
them

The comparative worthlessness OF the old
brick sewer was illustrated the other day
turn on stream to help clean it out. Recent
" the jefferson street sewer had to be cleaned
by hand, and a foot or more Of sediment was
found in it. The modern practice Of drainage
engineers calls for small sizes OF salt glazed
oewer.pipe for such sizes Of sewers, which
will clear themselves by the water running
through them; and IN the future new sewers
OF the city should be so constructed.

Fact is the commencement business at the
leading colleges is gradually disappearing
Glass Day and all, and has been declining for
the past SIX or eight years. 1t is getting to be
a bore to students, faculty and friends, and
the shorter and fewer the speeches the more
it is enjoyed by all; and such is getting to be
the rule. Where commandments in form are
still held, the Glass Day programme in more
digniiied form is the rule;-an Grafton, q
poem, IN essay, and maybe one or two more
exercises. And that is enough. By all means
shorten the exercises. Do not lcngthen them
for goodness sake.

The finance committee have contracted with
E. S. Wescott for marking the streets with
their names and to supply numbers to houses,
prices for house numbers being lie, &c, and
81 90 each, according to style preferred. The
street numbering ordinance has been adopted,
and it requires the numbers shall be placed
on the houses within 60 days. The object of
the numbering is to take advantage of the
new postal law which will give the city the
right to delivery of specially stamped letters

On invitation Of certain church people in
Tonica, the Rev. N. w. Heermans, of the
Episcopal church, gathered up his organist
and choir boys on Wednesday, and in carria-
ges, to the number of twenty -one, gave them
delightful excursion to that village. The
service was held in one of the largest churches
in the place and drew out an audience that
more than filed the house. 1t was choral
throughout, the boys doing themselves full
justice in their singing, and tie rector
preached one Of his best sermons. The PEG.
pie kindly and bounteousy provided for their
visitors during the night, and they came home
next day in high glee over their pleasant trip.

The city street force have been at work this
week repairing the roadway Of East Main

hauling wagons Of the Pioneer Proof
Construction Company. We are inclined TO
the belief that the repairs put upon the road
dwelling off and filling up holes is labor lost
The evident trouble with the road Is lack OF
foundation, and at each wetting the road be
comes soft and allows cuts. Many Of tn,
teams we notice are now using fourinch tires
but the condition Of the road is not much bet
tered thereby, showing a defective construc
ton IN the road itself. No cuts are made By
the same teams on the block east Of tn
bridge nor west Of the bridge, where thu
roadway is solid and perfect. Probably
another heavy coating of gravel on top of The
present lot would help the street.
