We are glad to say that the martins,
those CHEEKY harbingers Of spring, have
returned once more to this section after
an absence of some years. II is thought
that they we're driven off by the English
sparrows taking possession Of their usual
resting places, the different boxes around
the town. We earnestly hope they have
come to stay, and advise al who have
bird boxes TO throw out these miserable
sparrows and let the martins have pos
session again.

brother giving him a severe wound in the
leg. He then made his escape, and at last

and NAV be the author OF some fearful
tragedy if he remains at large for even a
