Joe Hillman, the 16.year- old lad who is
charged with the brutal murder of Herr
mann Seidemann, a Hebrew travelling
peddler, and which was to have com

county court before Judge Reed, has
been postponed until the September term
in consequence of the extraordinary fact
that . dead man was drawn as a juror.
The name Of Edward l.. Brick, of Wash

while he was lying dead at
his home. As the prisoner. under the
state law. is entitled to a full panel Of

is keeping himself in good spirits by de-
voting about six hours daily to the sing
Ing Of Moody and Sankey hymns at the

him is purely circumstantial, but the
state has succeeded in weaving such 4
net work of evidence as cannot fail to
fasten the diabolical CRIME upon him.

Something Of interest to o~rnithologists
occurred over in Canoe township, near
Punxsutawney, Pa. recently. On the
10th of February last, while a young
son of Uriah Peace was running from
Sunday school, he noticed q bluebird
going into q hole in an old stub of a tree.
Thinking he could catch the bird he
climbed up to the hole and ran his hand
in. The old bird flew away, but the boy
was surprised to find the nest still in
habited. 1t contained three young blue
birds, about half fledged, and evidently
only q few weeks old. 1t would appear
from this that bluebirds do not confine
their work of incubation to the mild and
genial spring or the sweet summer time.
