A Cheap Republican Trio

From the Louisville Courier Journal (Den.)
In New York the republicans pretend to be
very much in favor OF ballot reform bill,
mainly because they expect Gov. Hill will veto
it when it gets TO him. This will enable them,
as they imagine TO pose cheaply as the foes of
bribery and corruption

If you have dog give it to some friend-for

Never grumble audibly about the dress

Always let the young see that you wear

Take all the tides from the sitting-room

When you 30 to the theater as chaperon
always hire a carriage to go home in and then

An invitation to dinner once in while will
either make the young man feel at home or
else scare him off. This is a good way to learn
his intentions.
Join the club to which the young man belongs,
and if necessary ask him to see you home late
at night. This will be advantage to you,
and also make the young man feel that he is
solid with you.
Do not make rse of patent gas-extinguishers

DUCKS KILLED IN A STORM.
A Radius Of Ten Niles Completely
Covered by Wild Fowls.
From the Pfttsburq Disratch.

From the PittSbltrq DisBGtch.
The duck storm that fell upon the plains of
Punxsutawney was great deal more extensive
than was at first supposed. 1t was veritable
deluge Of ducks. Everybody admitted that
they never saw anything approaching it. Ma
honing creek and all its tributaries within a
radius OF ten miles were literally swarning with
wild ducks and geese of every species and va
riety.
A person who did not witness it could have no
conception of the immensely of the flock. There
were thousands Of them The night being dark
and stormy and the snow falling fast. the BIRDS
were attracted by the numerous lights of the
coke ovens surrounding Punxsutawney and
came down. Hundreds Of the unlucky fowl
flew too close to the mouths of the ovens, got
their wings siuged and dropped into the fur
nsces like moths into the flames of a torch The
HungaTiauS and Italians got out their clubs and
killed barrels of the birds The next morning
great numbers of wild ducks and geese were
found in the snow and captured, and when the
citizens of Punxsutawney saw that Mahoning
creek was a living mass of wild fowl every man
who could buy or borrow gun was out shoot
ing ducks.
The banks were strewn with dead fowls, and
everybody was possessed with a hendish de-
sire to Kill. Joha w. Barr, son OF the pro-
prietOr of the City hotel, shot and baRged 146
ducks. A hundred others killed from thirty to
forty each. No less than fifty DUCKS and geese
were caught alive. Everybody seemed to 90
wild over the affair and all business was
pended fer the day. The banks of the creeks
for ten miles were lined with sportsmen. 1t is
safe to say that 1000 men were out hunting
ducks, and it would probably not be an exag-
geration to say that 1000 ducks were slain that
day.
1t was a wanton barbarous slaughter Of in
nocent creatures, for nearly all admitted that
the birds were q very inferior article OF food.
This horde of ducks and geese was evidently
migrating from the south to the great lakes,
when the storm caught them and forced them
to descend Such deluge of ducks has never
been known before, and may never occur again.
