-. .HESE days of cold wind and driving
FIX rain have been a yerita BILE season OF
cJkSS discomfort to the birds. The pleas
ant throng that had taken possession OF
the willows and the big oaks disappeared
when the storm came. keeping so closely
to cover that the casual observer might
have thought they had been driven away
altoge ther, but the first day of bright sun
shine brought them out, if anything IN
greater numbers. l thought l saw this
morning, away UP in a tall treetop
flash OF black and white and red, but the
bird bearing the colors refused 10 place
himself on exhibition, and although l
fingered for nearly an hour, watching and
listening, 1 did not get another glimpse
and only caught few clear, delicious
notes that made me hope the newcomer
is the black-h headed grosbeak. 1t is early
for him, but he is a weather-wise sort OF
chap and we may feel fairly certain when
he makes his appearance that we shall
not have much more heavy rain.
With the returning sunshine this week
came the least hy-catcher, the drollest
joke of bird that visits US in these parts.
Nature must have been in humorous
mood when she made the least fly catcher.
he Is q pretty llLtle leuOW Win MS coat OF
olive-gray, his dusty vest and black-and-
white wings, but his tiny body supports
pair Of shoulders and a head (he has appa-
rently no neck) that an ornithological Her
cules might bear with pride. Taken alto
gether he is not as big as the goldfnch and
the funny effect of his absurdly big head
is heightened by his long, rather fiat bill
and pair of wide-open, round eyes that
seem full of amaze that no one takes him
at his own valuation, for tiny as he is he
possesses in marked degree the aggres-
sive, inGuiring, self-assertive nature that
characterizes all the tyrannld@, TO which
family he belongs.
AT little distance, or amid the green
foliage, the least fly catcher might readily
be mistaken by the unintiated for the gold
finch, 70 which, in size and coloring, he
bears a superficial resemblance, but the
goldfinch has black cap and graceful
neck and is as slim and flexible as the
hy-catcher is chunky. The latter bird has
a characteristic way of suddenly flying
out from amid the foliage of a tree, Tor the
distance OF yard or two, and as suddenly
returning, as though he were attached by
an invisible cord, to the trunk, and had
Unexpectedly got 10 the end of his tether.

with slender rootlets of plants and lire
the nest with horse-hair and plant down.
Like all the hy-catchers, the Minimus is
no singer though he looks as though he
ought to be one, but during the mating
season the male has an absurd, ascending
cry, delivered on the wing, which has
been aptly interpreted: "Chebec, tooral-
coral! Chebec, tooral- -ooral" and with
this his musical accomplishments close.

Another attempt TO mislead the
public and misrepresent the COM
missioners. Long before the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court, above
referred to, was rendered, the FL
more Commissioners entered into
an agreement with Attorney Ruick
to assist District Attorney Rogers
in the prosecution of Mrs. Kensler
and Freel for the murder of John
Kensler. 1t had been the rule
throughout the State and the ar
rangement was entered into in good
faith by the respective parties and
so recorded and published that N.
NJ. Ruick should receive from Ell
more county the sum of $3.50 for
assisting the prosecuting attorney
in the two murder cases above
named. Later on the Supreme
Court decided that county commits
sioners hao no right to employ
counsel to assist the district attor-
ney, and at the July term of the
commissioners the bill of Attorney
Ruick was laid over to the October
term, when it was taken up and al
lowed. The commissioners made
the contract in good faith and paid
it, as they should have done. The
warrant in favor of Mr.. Ruick for
$3.50 has not yet been drawn, and
if the Republican gang think it an
unjust claim they can easily stop
its payment. To repudiate honest
obligations may be in accordance

STANDING when all the bonds author
lied were placed. Those warrants are
still outstanding, besides several thou-
