starlings Eaten by Rocks.

"A singular instance Of starlings being
eaten by rocks is reported from Dorset
shire. During the recent severs weather
a flock OF starlings was observed on a
farm at West Stafford, near Dorchester,
being holly pursued by number of
rocks. The larger birds quickly over
took their prey and quickly dispatched
them, and stripping them of their feath-
ers greedily devoured them on the spot,
having presumably been driven to this
from their starving condition. On an
inspection of the place just after not a
vestige of the starlings could be found
beyond the feathers, with which the
ground was strewn. Similar occur
rences are reported from several other
places. Graphic.

A Drop OF Christie Blood.

Last year eingarten, "A town of the Ger
man kingdom, Wurtemburg, celebrated
the eight hundredth anniversary of the
possession of drop of Christ's blood.
Eight hundred years ago the precious
relic was presented to the Benedictine alb
hey of that place by the Duchess Judith
daughter of Duke Baldwin, Of Flanders.
Through this long period Of time the ves-
sci containing the blood has been kept in
the church connected with the monas-
terry, excepting war times, when it had
to be hid at more safe places. Though the
Benedictine monks were expelled long
ago and the monastery converted at the
first into an orphan asylum, then into
military barracks. the church with its
valuable treasure was left untouched.
Today the blood may be seen as fresh
and uninjured as that of q living man.
Each year, on the Friday after the
Feast of the Ascension, it is carried
around in solemn procession. The priest
who carries the vessel rides on horseback,
followed by more than thousand like
wise on horseback, not counting the
crowds that follow the procession ON foot.
In the year 1878 there were employed
7,055 horses. For this occasion pilgrims
came from all the neighboring countries.
Never, however, was there such splendor
exhibited as last year, the eight hun
dredth anniversary. The procession
lasted two hours. All those on horse
back were dressed according to the fash
ion of the Eleventh and Twelfth cent
uries. The evening before the town was
beautifully MISUNDERSTANDING.

for Their Building.
To Be One Of the Finest Structures Ye
Placed on Main Street.
CORNERSTONE is PLACED TO-DAY
A New Fake About a Cupboard Which
Colonel Shakespeare Made and
Carved Long Ago.

AS to Mangum & Son:
They have commenced to erect build
ing and it will be a building.
Everything that the architect wants
has been purchased-and no botch work
will be discovered in the structure.
The corner stone was laid to-day, and
the building will surely be a monument
to the gentlemen who are paying for it.
The details are not necessary, but The
GLOBE hastens to say that it has seen the
plans and the building will be most
beautiful. 1t occupies a prominent cor
ner,And while occupying it will adorn.
The roof is to be of copper and the
walls are of the best material. Three
stories high, it will be a massive struct-
ure, and we congratulate Mangum & Son
on their liberality and their enterprise.
1t will be three months, perhaps, before
the building is completed, but the corner
stone laid to-day is something of which
Durham should be proud. The building
is an ornament to the city and will be a
monument to Mangum & Son.
