Protect the Little Birds.

The Denver authorities are going
after the small boys who have been kill
ing birds with "bcanies," sling-shots,
blow.guns, air-guns and Flobert rifles.
The law against the destruction Of song
and insectivorous birds is very strict,
the penalty being a fine of s. to $50 for
each bird killed. with costs of suit.
In speaking of this matter. the Den
yer Republican says:
Apart from the protection to which
the birds are entitled on their own ac-
ccount, they should be spared on ac-
count OF their song. the cheerful look
which their presence lends to the neigh
borhood and their great value as insect
destroyers. This last has been thoroQh-
ly tested in certain communities where,
for certain reasons, the birds disap-
peared and where insect pests Of all
kinds in consequence increased to an
alarming extent"

For over forty yesrs . family Of eyp-
siea have been residents of this state.
At the present time one of them claims
to be the head of the gypeies in this
country, says q Bridgeport correspon-
dent Of the New York Sun. He Is
Prince William and lives with his fam
Ny near East Hartford. The East Hart
ford branch is the main branch Of the
family. All the male members Of the
family are born horse traders and arc
known all over New England as upright
and honest business men. Attached to
their residence at East Hartford nre
stables which in winter arc always
filled with choice horses. One Of the
interesting sights at the barn are the
wagons In which Prince william and
family go off on their annual trips.
These wagons cost from one thousand
to twenty-five hundred dollars each.
There are branches of the family in
New Haven and also in this city, and
when one of these trips about the coun-
try takes place the other branches join
it. The trips are usually begun about
the LIST of August and sometimes ex-
travelling in the south when cold
weather arrives in New England. The
family lately returned from trip
which was begun last August. On
these trips spare horses are taken along
to trade. This means a cavalcade of a
dozen gorgeous wagons and about one
hundred horses. Tho entire family,
men, women and children, go along.
The party keep together, travelling by
easy stages, about twenty miles day
being considered n good journey. When
hurried they can make forty miles a
day. The place selected for the nights
resting-place Is usually a grove. There
the wagons are drawn up in circle,
the fires lighted and supper prepared.
After the evening meal the entire fam
lily gather around Prince Williams tent
or wagon and the affairs Of the family
are discussed. A watchman patrols the
camp all night to guard the horses.

Farmers Institutes.

Deputy Secretary and Director of
Institutes John Hamilton has sent
out circular outlining the work of
the Department for the coming Far
mer's Institutes to be held in each
County. The number will be 1856
occupying 304 days. There will be
two held in this County, at Milford
Nov. 2S, and at Dingman's Ferry
Nov, 30th, and it is hoped that all
will unite in vigorous effort to
make the work interesting and sue
cessful. 1t is proposed this year to
concentrate the efforts upon few
fundamental objects, and not to
scatter over large area of subjects.
Three topics will be discussed in
every institute, one Good Roads and
another Education for Farmers and
their children, and the other for
the general benefit of Agriculture.
Every one attending should be es-
pecially prepared on some subject,
and those contemplating taking a
part in the way of discussion, should
confne their talks to one of the three
topics, and be able to give informa-
ton that will aid us all to better
understanding of the subjects dis
cussed, and form the basis for MAX
ing up a Judgment upon which to
act.
These Institutes no doubt will be
largely attended, and much of their
interest depends on the efforts of
those who should receive the great
est benefits. 1t is hoped that every
one who possibly can will attend and
be prepared to offer something which
will be of profit and advantage.
Prof Hamilton will talk on good
roads and their is no one in the State
better qualified to instruct, and at
the same time entertain. We hope
the Supervisors and all those who
are interested on this subject, and
who is not?, will hear him.
Cut this out so you will remember
the days, and spend a little leisure
time in making preparation to give
your experience, on a selected topic.
Condense your ideas and make your
talk as pointed and instructive as
possible.
