The Serenade.

The three old bachelors who domi-
cile next door to Postmaster HANDLE.
ton, concluded it would be the right
thing to do, to give the retiring p NJ.
a serenade on Tuesday evening. Their
idea of a serenade consisted in a bundle
of fire crackers, a fiddle and singing as
best they could Old Lang Syne. They
kept up the concert till the wee small
hours of the night had almost arrived
In the early hours of the morning
when these three frlsky old baches had
fallen into their sweetest slumber, the
P. NJ. thought it would be n eat thing
to acknowledge the compliment, and
just as the early birds began to look for
that morning worm for break fast, the
three frisky old baches were reused
from their sweetest slumber by a most
unearthly racket which proceeded from
below their bed room. The P. NJ. was
serenading them with Old Lang Syne
sung in such a strain as never before
heard, while he beat time on the porch
and house side with plasters's lath.
The musical was complete.

MITCHELL GETS FIFTEEN
YEARS.
Is Convicted of the Cold Blooded
Murder Of Clarence Moore.

The Mitchell murder case. which
has been on trial in Judge Winde's
branch of the Criminal court the last
live days, came to u close yesterday
afternoon and at a late hour last
night the jury returned verdict
finding William Mitchell guilty of
murder in the first degree.
Judge Windes fixed his punish
ment at fifteen years imprisonment
in the penitentiary.
The crime for which Mitchell has
just been sentenced was most cold.
blooded one and has attracted wide
spread attention. On the night of
July last he shot and killed Clar.
ence Moore in lodging house at PIG
Washington street. Both men room
ed at the house and because Moore
would not associate with Mitchell the
latter took q great dislike to him.
On the night of the murder Mitchell
bought revolver and returned home
drunk. On meeting Moore at the
door he deliberately slapped him in
the face, and when the latter resented
the insult he shot him twice with
fatal results.-Chicago Daily Ne,cs.
The victim of the above foul
murder was Cecil county young
man, the son of Richard B. Moore
and was born in 1865 near Porter's
Bridge. Richard B. Moore is the
brother of Cyrus Moore who now
resides at the old Moore homestead
near that historic spot. The crime
was most foul and dastardly murder
and the judge is clearly reoreant to
his duty in placing such sentence
on such monster. All such should
be locked up for life if not hanged.

Many discussions have been maintain
ed as to the manner of flight of birds in
migrating. The wild geese are well
known to have a way of gathering in a
large flock and travelling in something
like military procession, but for the
most part naturalists have differed in
their ideas on this, as they differ SEEM
ingly on most subjects, some asserting
that most birds fly low, others that
they fly high, etc. Some observations
made by Mr., W. +. d. Scott, however,
at Princeton college on the night of Oct
10, 1880, give-some data upon which 10
base an opinion. His observations dis
covered a large flight Of migratory birds
proved by computations made at the
time to be flying from one 10 four miles
high above the earth They were small
birds like the robin. wren, etc. This
leads MS to another point-viz., the dan.

flight. OF course The greatest is by storms.
