GEORGIA planters kill good many
crows, and the way of doing it is thus
described: "Catc6 one of the birds,
tie it to your body, and walk through
the field with your gun cooked and
finger on the trigger. The cries of the
bird will cause others of it's tribe to
flock around you, and they can then
be easily shot,"

Trials of q Driver.

William Anderson, g. citizen of Gin
cinnati, objected to paying hack hire
unless the hackman proved himself
the better man. Finding argument
useless, the hackman drove Mr.. An
derson to a retired spot, and there
wiped the ground with him. Then, to
his disgust, he found that Mr.. Ander-
son hadn't red cent, and could not
pay, though he had been well
thrashed.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
allow Fort Fisher Fell' is to all of us who
were there vivid reproduction of scenes as If
only a week, not twenty-one years, had inter-
vened. So graphic description demands, for
the sake of your valuable journal, SO often re-
ferred to after many years, that not a single
error should blur its absolute accuracy. Fort
Fisher fell. not on the 14th of January, 1865
but on the 10th, and the gallant Terry's COM
mission as a brigadier general in the regular
army bears that date in commemOration of his
great victory. To the brave surgeon of the
IrOnsides NOW medical directory, Edward Ship
pen, are rendered the thanks of navy men for
presenting to the country in so able a manner
what the American navy has done, and re-
minds US that great deal of the same material
