English sparrow. i'm Boston.

The English sparrow was introduced
into Boston within the last twenty years,
and, like all newcomers, he has found
favor with some and abuse from many.
He is accused of driving away the in
~sect-eating birds and of neglecting to
prosecute in their stead their useful occu-
patton.
These British-American subjects have
developed a habit which is at once pic
turesque and amusing. However much
they may wander during the day, at the
hour of afternoon tea they assemble
from all parts of the city and perch
upon the branches of the trees in the
Kings Chapel Burying Ground. The
popular trees are so rowde that they
seem to be budding with twittering
birds. The noisy caucus of the crows =
of which Lowell speaks, is quite outdone
by these sparrows. Like women at q
tea, they all talk at once, and loud
above the rumble of cart and car
the shrill sound rises. Down below
them, in the hurc yard. rest the old
Colonial families who worshipped in the
Kings Chapel, the first Church of Eng
land in Boston, long since conveyed"
by the Unitarians.
1t is an odd coincidence that these
English birds shuuid every day gather
in the first Gods acre of the Church
of England in the Massachusetts Bay
Colony, and open their threats shrilly
as if in protest against the perversion
of the Kings Chapel by d.ssenters-nay.

special 70 the jersey Cftn Nearx.

ATLANTIC CITY, April 9, 1S96.-An
opinion that affects every Justice of the
Peace in the State was handed down yes
terday by Justice Lippincott, of the SUI
preme Court. in which he holds that a
Justice may conduct court in any part
of the county in which he is elected.
Two years ago Justice Carver, of Ell
wood. came to the city and tried the case
of William R.. Moore VS.. Felix S. John
son IN contract. Lawyer Stepheny, for
the defendant, claimed that Justice Car
yer was not eligible to sit in the city and
carried the case to the Common Pleas
Court. AT the following Court Judge
Thompson on the bench confirmed Car
ver's right to sit in Atlantic City. and the
attorney for the defense then carried the
question to the Supreme Court, where it
has been ever since pending a decision.
