Canary-Isird Culture.

The breeding of canary birds is a COM
mon occupation among the Hartz Mount
aims, and a ready market is found for them
IN the city OF Goslar, an aristocratic place of
$4,000 inhabitants, where some of The de-
ceased rulers of Prussia lie buried The
birds generally sell at prices ranging from
few dollars to $50: but there is one varie-
ty, exceptionally fine singers, which fire.
quently bring 500. This bird serves the
purposes of teacher to the others in the
matter Of singing, and is therefore eagerly
sought after. Recently dealer in canary
birds from the Hartz Mountains landed in
New York, bringing with him upward of
1900 beautiful songsters. It was his inten-
ton to dispose of them in the large cities of
tde country.
