GROUPING OF BEASTS AND BIRDS

II Is a very curious fact that the
English language has n separate
word to designate nearly every
kind Of beast or bird in groups. To
be sure, some of these distinctive
terms are used by few except sports-
men or naturalisis, but the majority
Of them are more or less familiar In
common speech. especially where
groups Of the different animals are
found. We suppose that the
use of one of these different
words was originally founded on
some rSasou, chronological. zoolog.
ical. or pathological, but it would
take much research to ascertain
these reasons, and this We have not
time to give the subject. But We
offer a table which sh ,ws Ia briei
space the most OF the different terms
given to various classes Of animals
perhaps some Of our readers can add
| to It.:
A covey Of patridges.
A hide OF pbeasants,
a wisp of snipe,
a bevy Of quail,
A flight Of doves or swallows,
A muster OF peacocks,
A siege OF herons,
Abuiiding o. rocks,
A brood of grouse,
A plump OF wild fowl,
A stand OF ployers,
A watch Of nightingale,
A Gathering Of choughs,
A, flock OF geese,
A cast Of hawks,
A trip Of dotfrili,
A swarm of bees,
A school Of whales,
A shoal of herrings,
A herd Of swine,
A ekulk Of foxes,
A pack Of wolves,
A drove OF oxen,
| A sounder OF hogs,
A troop Of monkeys,
A pride Of lions,
A sleuth of 6ears.
Also at the risk Of repeating eom
of the above oddities Of Language

JUDGE AND SOLICITOR.

JUDGE WHITAKER'S S friends all over the
State will rejoice in this endorsement
which he has received from the Demo
cracy Of the district He has served the
party faithfully, and is an able, indus
trio1s and accurate lawyer, and the peo-
pie felt that he deserved al endorsement,
and they have given it to him. The pa
pers in the First District and in the
West where he has held court speak in
the highest terms of his bearing as q
Judge and predict for him brilliant ca
reer on the bench. He has not yet pre-
sided in Wake and we have not had
an opportunity of seeing him on
the bench. 1t is high COM
pliment that he has received, and is
all the more to be appreciated when it
is considered that he was opposed by
one Of the wisest and ablest and nom
estest young lawyers in North Carolina,
W. R ALLEN, ESQ of Wayne. Mr..
ALLEN is young, and judicial honors
surely await him in the future. His
legal acumen and his studious habits,
and his judicial mind, mark him as a
man whom the people will call to inter-
pret and administer the laws before he
has been twenty years at the bar.
The nomination of Mr. EDWARD W
PoU, JR., OF Johnston, as Solicitor, is a
recognition of the ability and worth of
one of the States brightest young men.
He was student Of the University, and
was licensed to practice law in October,
1885. He had been hard student, and
at once obtained large practice, and
was last year Elector for the Fourth
Congressional district and made splen-
did campaign. His nomination means
his election. He is popular with
the people and they will rally to his sup
port and elect him by handsome ma
jority. Less than q years old, he has
received an honor Of which he may well
be proud. To be chosen over CAPT.
SWIFT GALLOWAY, who was universally
regarded as the best Solicitor in Eastern
North Carolina when he was in office, il

upon the people.
