BROOKWAY.

On Saturday last We editor laid aside
the noisome cares and anxieties of his
sanctum and wendell his way toward
that little hamlet, whose past history
has run so nearly parallel TO that 0d
our own town.
Amy one laboring under the impress
sion that Brockway Is dead or suffering
fram syncope has only TO make that
place a visit under the same circum-
stances as ourselves, and he will he
convinced Of his error.
For the number of business places we
found things very lively. We passed a
very pleasant hour at the Roller Pro-
cess FIGURING Mill of w. III. Ballentine.
We found this as neat and tidy as the
home of the good housewife. Mr. b
believes in keeping abreast of the times
hence is constantly adding to, and
changing his milling apparatus. Mr..
George Davidson, the genial miller,
who. by the way. is one of the best in
the state, is quite genius, having in
vented several attachments to the
milling machinery which are highly
successful in their operation. Mr.. b.
also has fine large store, stocked with
all kinds of goods and is doing a rush
ing business.
y. & +. O'Leary, the clever lady mer-
chants of this place are selling out
their stock preparatory to retiring
from business. During twelve years
sojourn here they have by fair and bust
ness like dealing, acquired large
trade and competence. They will
offer some excellent bargains in clos
ing out their large stock during the
next few weeks.
W. III. Harris, the wide-awake carri-
age manufacturer of this place is also
doing fine business. The vehicles
turned out by this shop are in good
demand and always will be, so long as
the same business principles are follow
ed that have given this industry its
success. There is also a blacksmith
and repairing shop in connection with
the establishment. Mr.. Harris has an
eye to business and the interest of his
patrons, and all wishing anything in
his line will do well to call OH him.

not occur. 1t would be policy to let up
a little or we will expose.

row IN North America, especially in
its relations to agriculture 1t has
been prepared under the direction of
two well-known ornithologists, and
contains reports from all over the
continent as well as from Europe.
The general verdict is that this
sparrow is a nuisance and ought to
be exterminated. 1t is well settled
by great mass of the best of testi-
mony that he does more harm than
good Over six hundred were dis
sected and their stomachs carefully
examined TO see what they contained,
and il was found that few insects are
eaten by them. He prefers grain.

TO START A BALKY HORSE.

l was attracted yesterday by
considerable gathering in a down
town street, OccasiOned by a balky
horse which even the policeman him
self could not persuade to ''move on"
All kinds of plans were tried. First,
about a dozen men showed the wag-
on behind but even then, by firmly
planting his fore feet, the determined
beast managed to resist progression,
although | thought the breeching
would burst. An old piece of cloth
was then carefully tied over his eyes,
and, after a pause, he was gently re-
quested to proceed, but he stood still
and the crowd jeered. Next a rather
consequential person came forward,
and standing on tiptOe, so that he
could reach the horses ear, whisper
ed into his ear something which he
evidently thought would have an in
Simultaneous and miraculous effect;
but the animal was deaf to this siren
and the consequential person skunk
off, pursued by the sarcasms of a
bootblack. The driver was now in
rage, which vented itself in blows
and imprecations. But just as he
was passing from this condition into
one of stony despair, quiet young
fellow waved him aside, unharness-
ed the horse, took him out of the
shafts, and after leading him across
the street and back, reharnessed him
and handed the reins to the drixer,
who now drove off without the least
trouble. The expedient was simple
but effective, and it suggests what is,
| believe, the true philosophy of the
balky horse The effort should be
not to overcome his fixed idea of
standing still, but to supplant that
motion by diverting his attention to
something else Boston Post.

one of the worst of pests-and will
entail immense loss upon the country
in wears to come; yet he has come to
STAY, and he can no more be exter-
minated than can the white-weed,
golden rod, or other weeds that are
widely scattered. 1t is, however,
very desirable to put decided check
upon this inSOlent, vOracIOuS for
eigner. He has been in this country
since 1850, and has already extended
over more than half of the tates,
and is found to some extent even as
far off as California. The English
sparrow, or properly the house
sparrow" was first brought to this
country in the fall of 1880 by Hon.
Nicolas Pike and other directors of
the Brooklyn Institute, n. Y" Eight
pairs were first brought, but they did
not do well, and more were ordered
by the same parties in 1852, and
were let loose the following year in
the grounds of Greenwood cemetery.
How any sane person could have
been SO foolish as to bring this mis-
cradle creature across the water to
curse this country, if he knew his
habits, we are at a loss to under
stand; for he had proved a nuisance
all over Europe years before. 1t will
be said in defense of the intrOducers
that their motives were good, and
that they believed these birds would
DESTROY the various caterpillars and
worms that infest the trees in the
cities. They should have known the
habits of the bird before bringing
him here 1t is probably true that
he will eat a worm or insect rather
than starve to death; but we have
seen the trees on Boston Common
partially covered with caterpillars,
with sparrows almost as numerous
on the same tree, letting each other
alone severely.
We have no good word to say for
the pestilent fellow, and, while we
very much dislike taking the life of
any bird or animal, we do not hest
tate to recommend the wholesale de-
structiOn of the sparrow. We hope
the various states will offer bounty
for them, if that be the best way, or
that each town and city will appoint
a man to destroy them, on the
ground that they are a nuisance that

the poisoning of them, but that is
not quite safe. They can be trapped
or shot. The fall or winter is the best
time to shoot them. Put down some
grain and they will go for it, when,
by the use of gun that scatters well
with fine shot, many can be DESTROY
ed at once. They gather in large
focks about grain fields, cattle yards
and other such places where feed is
plenty, and i'm such localities they can
more easily be destroyed. Let each
farmer destroy as many as he cam

THE CROW CONDEMNED.

c. Hart Merriam, ornithologist of
the department of agriculture, assist
ed by Prof Walter B. Barrows, has
been investigating the habits of the
crow. From a large correspondence
in reference to this bird, and from the
examination of Il great number of
crows stomachs, the following sum-
mary of evidence for and against is
published in the recently issued report
for 1888.
1. Crows seriously damage the
corn crop, and injure other grain
crops usually to less extent.
2. They damage other farm crops
to some extent, frequently doing
much mischief
3. They are very destructive to
fowls.
f. They do incalculable damage
to the eggs and young of native
birds
3. They do much harm by the dis
tribution of seeds of poison ivy, poi
son sumach, and perhaps other nox-
ious plants.
g. They do much harm by the des-
truction of beneficial insects.
On the other hand
Z. They do much good by the des-
truction of injurious insects.
8. They are largely beneficial
through their destruction of mice and
other rodents.
9. They are valuable occasionally
as scavengers.
The careful examination of large
numbers of stomachs, and the criti-
cal study of the insect food of the
crow, may change materially the
present aspect of the question; but
so far as the facts at present known
enable a judgment to be formed, the
harm which crows do appears to far
outweigh the good.
