Prepare For The Census.

We have received the following cir.
oular letter from the Census Office at
Washington, With the request that we
publish it:
TO the Medical Profession The va.
rious medical associations and the
medical profession will be glad to
learn that DIR. John s. Billings, Sur.
geon U. S. Army, has consented to
take charge of the Report on the
Mortality aud Vital Statistics of the
United States as returned by the
Eleventh Census.
AS the United States has no system
Of registration of vital statistics, such
as are relied upon by other civilized
nations for the purpose of ascertaining
the actual movement of population,
our census affords the only opportuni,
ty of obtaining near an approximate
estimate of the birth and death rates
of much the larger part of the country
which is entirely unprovided with any
satisfactory system of State and mu.
nicipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue to the medical profession
throughout the country "Pbysician's
Registers" for the purpose of obtain.
ing more accurate returns of deaths
than it is possible for tho enumerators
to make. 1t is earnestly hoped that
physicians in every part of the coun.
try will cooperate with the Census
Office in this important work. The
record should be kept from June l,
1889, to May 81, 1890. Nearly 26,OOO
of these registration boOks we're filled
up and returned to the office in 1880,

Kindness Remembered.

The recent appointment of Hon.
Frank Palmer to the important posi-.
tion of Government Printer has
brought out an instance of substantial
gratitude on his part that is very
pleasant to record. Years ago Edgar
Cowan, of the Warren Mail, was a
well established printer in jamestown,
N. Y, and Frank Palmer, boy of 15
years, applied at the Office for a place
to learn the art and mysteries of type.
setting. COwan took liking to the
boy, who was a remarkably bright
youth, and helped him all he could.
They became fast friends, and have
ever remained so. When Palmer was
appointed Public Printer, his first
thought was of his old friend and ben,
efactor. He telegraphed him "Come !;
l need you" Mr.. Cowan, who is now
a man over 60 years of age, went on
to Washington, and is now Mr..
Palmer's private secretary on a good
salary.-Franklin NelOs.

Swarminu With Crows,

NEWMAN, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-For eighteen
months past crows to the number esti-
mated all the way from 100, 900 to 3,OOO,-
900, have swarmed in the eastern part of
Douglas county, feeding in the fields 10
daytime and collecting at night at their
famous roost one and a half miles north
west of this place in McCown's Grove,
which covers some sixty acres. About
dusk these birds gather in from the sur
rounding country in myraids, and the
noise they make by their shrill Cav!
caw!' is deatening. Frequently they
alight in such vast numbers on the trees
that large limbs are broken under their
weight. One day last week a black
cloud OF these birds was crossing the rail.
road track near here when the smoke of
the engine blinded them. They flew
against the side of the swiftly moving
cars, and parties who watched the strange
sight counted nearly 200 hat met their
death In the above manner. A party Of
hunters from Hume. a small village east
of here, armed themselves with shotguns
Friday afternoon and visited the roost,
with the avowed intention of Kidding it
of the shiny black pests. Six of them
shot and killed l35 in less than W hours.
but at the end of that time the diminu-
ton of The birds was unnoticeable, and
the hunters retired from the field. Ere
quently the birds would rise in such
clouds that they would almost obscure the
sur from view. 1t is stated that this
wholesale invasion of crows is caused by
short crops in the southern part of the
state for the past two seasons, where they
have heretofore made their home in
winter. They make sad havoc in the
fields of corn, and it seems impossible
to drive them out

BUFFALO. Jan. l5.-All the Irishmen
in Buffalo are overioyed at a hoax recently
practiced on a Scotland Yard detective,
the facts regarding which have come to
light to-day through the Black Rock
branch of the National league. The tel
low who put up the Job is a mechanic and
lac did it to relieve his own pressing fnan-
cial needs. He had been sick and was
badly in need Of money. The idea oe-
Cured to him that it would be pretty easy
to fool the London Times and the Tory
government by making them believe that
he could furnish documentary proof that
Parnell was implicated in the assassina-
tons of Burke and Cavendish in Phoenix
park. He wrote the Times to this effect,
and the next news he had was in the
shape of a letter from a detective of the
British government, sent here to get the
much coveted information, who offered
him and his two friends, who had the
documents, plenty of money on condition
that they were genuine, and that the three
would consent to appear in court in case il
was FUND necessary to Expose them.
The Buffalo lrishman had been careful

signed himself j. G. S. All this took
place last July, and the detective has
most of the time since been in this vicinity
trying to get his hands on tho documents.
He has advanced plenty of money to the
Buffalo man, and has stopped in New
York, Toronto, Montreal. Chicago, Nj
agara Falls, Ravenswood, ILL.,, and at the
Tiff house in this city. His first letter
from Chicago was dated Oct. %, and he
appears to have been at the Palmer
house until Dec. J. He first signed him

letters from u. G. s." fell into hands of
another man of the same name. he
changed it to Chris Thomas" He says
that his trip has not been a failure, be-
cause he had been able to collect a large
amount of information in this country
bearing on the case. The league has not
yet disclosed the identity of u. @. S."
but he is said to be terribly excited over
the matter and fears that he will be ex-
tradited and punished for his fraudulent
practices in the matter.

A Double Etopement.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 15.-Martha and
Alice Drone, belonging t a well known
and respected family residing a few miles
east of this city, have been missing from
their home for a week. 1t appears that
the W girls left home on the 9Th inst.
the former with John Howard and the
latter with Joseph Carver, ana that the
e~scapade was a double elopement, and two
marriages have been the result. When
the damsels were about to leave they told
their parents they were going to a neigh
borhood party. but they did not return
the following day, and search revealed the
fact that they had carried off all their
clothes with them. Young Howard and
Martha Drone are under the manageable
age, each being II years old. Carver is
about 81, and his pretty sweetheart about
20, 1t is supposed they have gone west.
All the families are well-to-do people and
feel much grieved over the affair.
