offered by the insurance adjustors on the
loss which he suffered by fire a week ago.
MI Foye says the adiustors offered him a
sum which will not come anywhere near
covering his loss. The matter will be left
to three referees, who will be chosen, to-
day, both Landlord Foye and the ad-
justors agreeing to this arrangement. The
referees will examine the house and con-
tents and determine what the loss really
is. Mr. Foye has not as yet decided when
he will tender the supper to the Randolph
fire department, in recognition of the
valiant work done by them in subduing
the fire but it will probably be held, some
time next week.

when it is not discovered by man, will
forsake them when molested. This fact,
coupled with the apparent neglect of the
eggs left lying about on the sand, explains
the cruelty ascribed 10 the bird.
The ostrich utters loud cry, almost
like lions roar. This loud wailing IS
