One Of the finest specimens Of bald
headed eagle is in possession Of Major Rey-
bold, Of Delaware City. Some time ago il
was brought down with broken wing by a
young man on the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal. and while still living was sent to Phila-
delphia to be mounted. The work was done
admirably The bird is larger and more
perfect than "Old Abe" the war-eagle ofthe
10th Vermont Volunteer Regiment. It meas
ures 90 feet from tip to tip and is mounted
as ifiu the act of rising to soar. The owner
intends to have the bird photographed and
placed at the disposal of the Worlds Fair
committee as a specimen Of a Delaware
eagle The bird was captured in Red Lion

mate, which is still at large, he had lived for
years
State Treasurer Burnlte has arranged with
all the publishers of school books used in
this State to take back from the dealers the
books now on hand at cost price. Il is of
course understood that the books returned
must be in saleable condition. This arrange
ment enables the State Treasurer to comply
strictly with the law, which says that all
books shall be purchased direct from the
publisher, and prevents the mourning OF any
loss on the part OF the dealer, who by the en-
actment of the Free Text Book Law have no
purchasers for school books.

Over this is a roof completely excluding

The yard will allow very little space for

does not intend that this shall be crowded.
He will allow but eighteen inside besides
the jury, the ministers and physicians,
aud this number will include the mem
