ruC. BIRDS.

We fud9e from the letters tnis pap-'
- ..ost,sa that the destruction Of birds
BIZ the recent snow and cola "sa'H7'
was less than was expected
The number Of birds lately offered TOT
sale in the markets Of this state crea'@n
the suspicion that a good deal 81 trapIins
or shooting had been done: but our ad-
vices from a number % counties are 70 the
e0ect that upon many farms the owners
afforded the birds all needful protectioh
and fed them until the fhaw came on.
r. the reports we have 80 FAR received
should be confirmed by similar ones from
other parts OF the State, we must con-
dude that the stock q birds left In Vir-
ginia Is still considerable
However. II may. and probably will. be
desirable 10 secure legal protection for
the birds during the coming winter. Ana
IN case that course should be- determined
upon. We would suggest that the law
against Offering birds Tor sale IN cities
and towns BE- made more stringent than
a. present. That may appear 10 be- n
difficult thing 20 DO. but there is no tell
ing what vigorous eh0ft IN ihat uli''-
ton may accomplish.
At present. when person has BIRDS
10 sell out ~ season, he may say they
were killed IN North or South Carolina
II the birds are 20 be properly protected
during the coming winter. the law
should not only be general but IT ought
10 go as far as practicable IN the direc-
ton o. curing the evil with reference 70
mlsrepr made in cases where
birds are offered for sale during the close
season.
II is an indsputable fact that many
birds are brought TO this market from
the Carolinas. yet We suspect that hum
dreds Of others sold here during the late
cold spell were killed IN neighboring conn-
lies OF this state.

Enos Owens Dead.

Word has been received that Enos
Givens, former Audubon boy, we'll
known to many, died last Saturday
morning at 400 o'clock at his home in
Dallas, Texas, with abscess of the
brain, supposed to have been caused
by an injury received some seventeen
years ago by fall from horse which
caused him to lay Unconscious for
several hours. The deceased was a
brother of Mrs. H. w. Wilson and her
many friends sympathize with her in
this sad hour Of bereavement. He was
a brilliant young man in his 33d year
and held lucrative position as state
agent for large wire and steel nail
company. He was in the prime of
life and the future was full of promise
to him. To those who know him,
bright star has passed over the distant
shadows of time and a friend, noble,
true and sincere, possessing heart
and soul full of Sympathy and love, is
no more. He had not reached the
zenith of human life, until he was
called to pass to that unseen shore
not forgotten-bu leaving behind the
sweet and touching influence of life
we'll spent. He was born for higher
destiny than earth. There is realm
where the rainbow never fades; where
the stars will spread out before us like
the islands that slumber on the ocean;
and where the beautiful beings that
here pass before us like visions, will
stay in our presence forever. With a
contiding trust do we feel that this
loved one has gone to enjoy this end
less eternity.

And it was not until late in life-until after he had ceased to be president-that he wrote letter to the managers of a Birthnight balls in Alexandria, saying, as! his and Mrs. Washington's 'danc- ing days were over. In the list of queries regarding the etiquette neces- sary to his presidential state, which he submitted to MT. Madison and Mir.

Smith. from New York on February s for Liverpool, via this port. arrived here and reported having experienced stormy weather during her passage across the Atlantic. A sharp lookout was kept for the disabled Hamburg American line steamer Bulgaria, last seen during a severe storm 500 miles from the Azore islands. and for ths overdue Cunard liner Pavonia from Queenstown, Januray 25 for Boston, last reported about 300 miles from the Azores in a disabled condition. No signs of the two steamers were seen.
