eagle, and for the next four yeare or longer
this bird can be seen on exhibition almost
anywhere in Bristol where two or three are
gathered together Should the "leader"
man chance to come this way, it will do him
good to take good look a. this fine bird,
and reflect that had he fed his crow with
protection and a little free whisky, he might
to-day be the proud owner of as fine bird
as we, instead of the bedraggled, measly
thing he now owns.

The aversion to hearse is general 1t is not
exactly proper to drive the hearse to the door
of the deceased until it is needed, and while
waiting the proper time what an experience
the driver has. If he stops in the shade to
rest his horses, some one comes out and orders
him away with every sign Of agitation. A
coffin, to be sure, is not a pleasant object,
and that is why some undertakers no longer
exhibit specimens of their stock in their win.

at funerals ran into such extravaganza that
it became burden upon persons of slender
