y visitor in this city who is Interested in
birds informs us that he has seen several
blue birds this season. They may be seen
occasionally in the trees near the residences
1
Chenery, Basil FL. Newell sends US the fol-
lowing note: "The first blue bird was seen
at Citypoint, March 10Th Very few have
been seen. One pair is now building in my
bird house where in former years they have
built in tiocks.'
The most exciting runaway of the season
was that of G. A. MeKinley's milk team
yesterday morning The horse started near
the southerly junction of Church and High
streets, ran to Main street, thence through
several other streets by short tacks to the
shore, thence over Front street to the steam
boat wharf where he ran against the freight
shed. The only damage was one broken
thill and some spilled milk. Had the freight
shed been opened the horse wodld probably
have gone through and overheard.
OLD JED PRoUTy Belfast people are to
have the privilege of again seeing "Jed'' as
portrayed by Richard Golden; and no
doubt the Opera House will be well filled
next Saturday evening. The Boston Herald
says of the recent presentation of this play
at the Bowdoin Square Theatre in that city
Hale and hearty, with the same kindly
word and action as of yore, jed brought
sunlight to bear upon all sorrows and
shadows The play certainly has most re-
markable hold upon the sympathies of New
England people, which is not better evi-
denecd than by the generous attendance
given whenever presented in this city. 1t
IS needless to say, perhaps, that Mr.. Col
den's presentation of the character of Jed
has lost nothing by frequent repetition, and
that the contrary is true. He has grown
into the oh nd jS bptt
and richer with age like good wine. The
company supporting Mr.. Golden is mainly
composed of people long associated with
him and the piece, and comprises nearly all
of the original cast Notwithstanding that
their duties lacked novelty to them person
ally, their care and attention, manifested in
making the piece as attractive as new pro-
duction, was most commendable.
