UNION SPRINGS, March 29.-[5pecial Correspondence ]-Carpenters who are re- modelling the residence of Mrs. Fitzpatrick were surprised on removing the roof to find the skeleton of a screech owl sitting on m old nest. When examined in it's mouth was found small ticket, which read: ''Good for one glass of soda water. Heury Harris. '' It has been eighteen years' since a gentleman by that name kept a store of that kind, and he was quite aston- ished that there was ticket of that kind in existence.
 The beautiful sunshine for the past week has enabled tue farmers to get in some tell ing work. The laborers, equally with the planters, seem anxious to get down to hard work, as they seem to realize the impor- tance of it more than ever before.
 The dogwood blossoms indicate the first of the fishing season, and already several disciples O" "Oid Izaak' have hfed them selves away to the different streams, but with very indifferent luck so far.
 Many trout yards that have suffered so severely by the hard winter are taking on their usual pretty spring appearance, and ere long beautiful flowers will gladden. the heart and Union Springs will deserve her old reputation as one of the ioveliest ''vii- lages of the plain.' The damage done by the late heavy rains is being rapidly re- paired and some splendid work is being done by the road overseer with the largo road scraps that was recently bought by the county and which arrived last week.

Tits-Bits.-
Once, when lecturing to his class, q
certain learned professor thus delivered
himself:
"I would have you observe, gentle.
men, that coal, when exposed to the
action OF the air, loses 10 per cent ol
its weight and heating properties
This arises through the influence oil
the alkaline constituents of the"-
"But, sir. how is it when a dog lies
near the Goals" interrupted one OF
his hearers.
"Ioung gentleman, this is neither
the time nor the place to crack these
small jokes of yours" severely retorted
the professor.
IL beg your pardon, sir, but that is
exactly what my father thought and
said when he found it necessary to
leave the stock OF coal for few nights
in the open air, and it was discovered
that it had diminished to the alarming
extent of over 10 per cent. He then
consulted ME, as student of chemistry
as to what could be done to save such
loss, and l suggested that a savage
dog should be procured and kept
chained near the Goals. He took my
advice, and since then our Goals have
not lost SO mush as two per cent. in
an entire month"
