thought not to be altogether right, was Q
prisoner in the Police Court yesterday. He was
charged with vagrancy and concealed weapons.

from the marine corps, and Campbell
admitted the truth of the charge. He said
he had served more than twenty years
In the service and he deserted from Norfolk
more than year ago. Word was sent to the

About Partridges.

Z, NJ. Richardson's family enjoyed
a game dinner Saturday that was en-
tirely unexpected. A partridge flew
through window but could not oet
through the screen. The flight of fhe
bird was so swift that the hole in The
window was as round as if pierced
by bullet. Speaking about par
tridges, we find a misapprehension
exists concerning the new law pro-
tecting the English partridge. Some
think that this refers to our common
partridge, but this is not so. The law
was passed to protect the pheasants or
English cartridges, which Gen. Webb
IS trying to introduce into the State
Our partridge is known to ornitholo-
gists as the rufied grouse and is an en-
tIrely different bird from the English
partrldge.-St. Johnsbury CaIedonian
