FACTS ABOUT BIRDS.


hens nest in hedge row. After trying
in vain to break an egg with its beak, the
crow elutehed one with its claws and
flew up fifty feet in the air. Then it let
the egg fall, breaking its shell.
A farmer near Fort Gaines, Ca, says
that buzzards attacked a litter of ten lit.
tie pigs and bit their ears and tails,
making the Swallow fork" and under
Bit in each ear, which composed this
farmers private mark for his hogs.
A hawks nest was broken up by some
boys who were attending temperance
camp-meeting at Spring Grove, N. Y.
When the old hawk had discovered that
her nest had been ruined she swept down
into the crowd of temperance workers,
seized straw hat from q mans head,
and flew away with it.
A man at Day county, Minnesota, lives
on the bank of large lake where wild
ducks makes their nests. He hunts up
the nests and replaces the eggs
with eggs from the hennery. The wild
ducks have hatched out a number of
fine broods of chickens for him. His hens
have no time for sitting around.
A nearly life-size chrome of cat was
placed out of doors where the birds could
see it. A catbird, coming up from be.
hind, alighted on the'top of the picture.
in spite of the warnings Of other birds,
which were in state Of great excitement.
CHANGING to look down, the catbird saw
the cat beneath its feet, and with
scream it turned back somersault and
flew away.
a gentleman driving past small pond
near Monticello, N. y, saw great com.
motion among a number of swallows
which were flying over the water. Pres.
emily large black crow came flying
along and its presence seemed to quiet
the other birds. The crow flew down to
surface of the pool and then rose with
large water-snake in its bill. The snake
had caught swallow by the leg, but in
trying to free itself from the crow it al.
lowed the smaller bird to escape. The
crow flew away with the snake.
A gentleman saw humming bird
among the blossoms of the yellow jessa-
mine vine. He concluded to capture it
by first making it drunk. Procuring a
quart Of full-proof corn whisky he filled
the bells Of dozen or more Of the flowers
with the liquor. The humming bird
presently returned to the flowers and
drank up every drop of whisky in them.
1t then flew to a neighboring limb and
awaited developments. The flowers were
again filed with whisky and the little
bird once more drained them dry. The
gentlemen filed the flower bells again
and again, until the whole quart Of
whisky was exhausted. The humming
bird drank it all and was eager for more.
The next day the little topper was busy
among the jessamine flowers and did not
appear to have bad taste in its mouth
from the effects Of its dissipation.

Edmund S. Hoyt.

The many friends of Edmund S. Hoyt, of
this city, will hear with deep regret of his
decease, the sad affair occurring at his late
residence in Portland yesterday morning
He had been sufferer from catarrhal
disease for many years and last October he
was confined to the house, since when he has
not passed its doors. He bore his sickness
with great patience and sweetness. Thurs
day night he said to his nurse, 'Oh! / have
such sweet thoughts"
Mr.. Hoyt was born in Warner, n. H.,
Nov. 4. 1884, and was a graduate of Dart
mouth College. He taught school for several
years at Yarmouth and in 1867 moved to
Portland where he established, with Mr..
Samuel Fogg, the publishing house and book
store of Hoyt & Fogg. They issued many
well known Sunday School publications.

and he retired about 1874. In 1875 DIR. g.. NJ.
Donham became a partner and the firm
name was changed to Hoyt, Fogg d Don
ham.
Mr.. Hoyt was man of great energy and
perseverance. He was the originator OF the
Maine Register in 1870, which has proved
one Oh the most popular and valuable refer
ehce DOCKS issued in New England. He was
also the inventor of new set of interest and
tax tables Which he had first completed and
which are said to be exceedingly valuable
He was the senior deacon of st. Lawrence
street church and, it is a singular fact was
the fourth to die in the past five years. He
was a member of the Maine Press Associa-
ton.

Art Notes.

In Stubs gallery, Congress square, can
be seen fine three-quarter length portrait
of Major General Henry G. Thomas, U. S.
A.. painted by Kettell, the celebrated Phila-
delphia artist The General is in full uni
form. His head is slightly turned towards
the right, looking, as it were, at the ram
parts of Fort Smelling, in the near distance.
The position is good, the pose of the head
easy. and while the face is rather thinner
than the Generals, the likeness is noticea-
ble In this connection, we may say, there
is quite resemblance in the portrait to
Major General W. S. Hancock. The picture
is very solidly painted, and the uniform
bears the little creases in places such as
would naturally occur in the best-fttlng
garments. The picture is quite spirited and
one olive should judge-Mr. Kettelfs
best efforts. The FRAME made by Stubs, is
beauty.
In the window may be seen a. small oil
painting of country road in Canada that is
exceedingly well done. The old houses by
the roadway, the perspective and the atmos-
phere are very well treated There is also
water color OF wrecked schooner at Cane
Elizabeth that is very deserving. Both Of
these pictures are the work of gentleman
connected with the Allan steamship Office in

RuDDER DAMAGED,
Steamer Sarnia, of the Dominion
Line, Disabled at Sea.
Yesterday, the following despatch was re-

Yesterday, the following despatch was re-
ceived here:
HALIFAX, N. S., Jan 21.
The Dominion line steamer Sarnia, which was
due at this port last Sunday night, from Liver
pool, with the Canadian mails and passengers, had
not arrived up to IL O'Clock tonight She is now
over IL days out from Neville, having left that
port last Saturday week. Unless she has met
with head winds of extreme severity, it is believed
some disaster has befallen her. Under ordinary
circumstances it is calculated she would have
been in the vicinity of Sable Island Sunday, dur.
ing the whole of which day the coast in this region
was enveloped in fog of unusual density
A reporter of the PRESS Immediately went
down to the offices of the Dominion line
here. When shown the above despatch, Mr..
Torrance stated there was no cause for
alarm. He then showed the reporter de-
spatch which had just been received from
the general offices of the company in Mon
treal. 1t stated that on Monday, Jan. 18th,
the Sarnia was spoken in lat 500, long. so.
Her rudder was disabled, and the steamer
was consequently proceeding very slowly.
All on board were well.
Mr.. Torrance also stated to the reporter
that the Sarnia, when spoken, was about 720
miles east of st. Johns N. F., and that she
was In the direct course of the steamers of
that and other lines, so that probably she
would soon be taken in charge by some one
of them, and towed into the nearest port

por.Iand,s Lumber Shipments.

OF the 100000 of lumber shipped to the
Platte river from Portland during the last
year, 24,O00,O00 were spruce and 100000
white pine. In 1882, 63 per cent. of all the
spruce lumber received on the Platte river
was shipped from Portland and in 1885 the
proportion was 70 per cent. The amount of
white pine shipped from this port in 1SS2was
IS per cent, and in 1885 it was 154 per cent,
showing an increase of spruce and falling
off in the expectation of white pine, while it
is believed that gain in the latter can be
credited to New York. Indeed, the pine
that goes to South America is nearly all
Canadian, and is shipped mostly from Mon
treal and New York. White pine has ma
rally advanced in price.

SAD AFFAIR.
a Boy of Fifteen Years Blows His
Brains Out.

A very sad, and at the same time strange
death, occurred at the Falmouth Hotel last
evening. Mr.. Harvey d. Hadlock, the well
known lawyer, and family, occupy suite
of rooms in the hotel. The family consisted
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hadlock and two children,
a son and daughter The son, Harvey d.,
Jr., was boy about fifteen years OF age, and
has always evinced decided aversion to 60
ing to school He is said to have been
naturally bright and fond of outdoor life.
His father had sent him to boarding school
some time ago and the boy stayed one night
and then came home declaring he would not
remain.
A few moments after eight o'clock last
evening Mr.. Hadloek was sitting in his par
lor with his son. He told him he had made
arrangements for him to go to school Ii
Topsham to-day. Young Hadlock said he
wouldn't go to school His father replied
that he must go; that he couldn't expect to
get on in life without an education. Young
Hadlock, rising, repeated his declaration
that he wouldn't go to school, and then
passed into an adjoining room, returning in
few moments with a small pistol in his hand.
The boy then said, "Father, you won't send
me away to school, will you?" The reply
was, Eyes, Harvey, you must prepare to go
tomorrow" The pistol was noticed by Mr..
Hadlock, but he thought his son was only at
tempting little bravado, and as he raised
his arm no attention was given the mat
ter. The boy then placed the muzzle
directly between his eyes, and pulled the
trigger. Even then the father couldn't be-
lieve the boy was attempting anything
serious. There was a flash, a report and the
boy fell. His father, springing forward
caught him, and as he passed his hand up to
his sons head, found it covered with blood
He Immediately notified Mr.. Martin who
telephoned at once for DR.. Gordon, Coroner
Gould and Mr.. Rich. Dr. Gordon said that
death was really the result of hemorrhage
The bullet had passed directly through the
brain. passing out just above the base of the
brain, and severing the great sinus. Death
as far as any consciousness is concerned
must have been instantaneous.
The pistol was one which the boy had had
in his possession long time but was not in
the habit of carrying it upon his person, and
it was thought by the family to be unloaded
The feeling about the hotel is that the boy
also, supposed the pistol was not loaded, but
that he could brighten his father into giving
his consent for his boy to remain at home if
he fiourished the weapon about him.
Coroner Gould decided an inquest unneces-
sary.
The family will have the sincere sympathy
of the community in this terrible and sud-
den bereavement.
