THE L.YRE BIRD.
A VentriIoquIst Who Makes Enough
Noise for a Dozen Birds.

Noise FOR Dozen blros.
The ground Is hidden beneath a
mass of jungle grass, sword grass and
fern, all bowed under weight of
moisture, and this forest is dreary,
damp and cold, 1t is billy country,
and you hear the notes of the differ
ent birds echoing and deceiving you.
They are all high, piping sounds, save
now and then when a thud-thud like
a thunderbolt seems to strike the
earth. 1t is frightened wallaroo, or
wallaby, who is leaping, pausing to
listen, and leaping again over the
green coating of the earth.
Now you hear a Tyre bird before
you Doubtless he is not more than
twenty yards ahead, for the sound
seems to rise under cover of your gun,
which, with very nervous hands, you
are holding before you. But that bird
is a rascally ventriloquist knowing
how to pitch his voice and send 1t
In any direction. Never mind-he is
singing, so you move on toward him.
Take heed to your surroundings and
to the weight Of your football. Should
you run foul Of some rambling vine,
or put down your foot too quickly, the
Tyre bird will gather up his music
and his tail, and you will hear him
no more. You must stand still as
death and wait, if need be, half an
hour for his second performance.
When he is we'll on with it, You may
go on, too, for his own excitement and
the sound of his own voice will kill
out all other sounds and he will not
hear you stealing on him.
He is deporting himself on a mound
or vegetable mold five or six feet in
diameter which he has earthed up.
Around him are long grasses and
ferns through which he has made
holes into which he can dart at will
to elude enemies. Above is one clear
branch on which he will leap when
instinct tells him he is safe from
harm. Here he will perch and plume
himself previ4s to winging his flight
to some other play or feeding ground.
BY avoiding every obstacle and paus-
ing breathlessly whenever the singer
lowers his note, you have managed
to steal almost upon him. There! see
his beautiful tail, bowling peacock-like
over that mass of nodding grass as its
owner courtesies to the ground, and
chatters and calls and shrieks as if
he were addressing a multitude on
the ground before him. He is only
initiating q tribe of black cockatOOS
(you swear there were at least forty
voices in chorus). Now he Is rivaling
half a dozen bellbirds, and the next
instant there is a long-drawn smack
ing sound. which you may put down
as the music of falling branch or
the call of the "whipcracker" "a tree
climber) National Review.

The story of the row, as told by Scott
is that he. in company with two other
men, We're about to enter a hack for the
purpose of going home when they were
approached by Harris, who demanded 10
cents. Harris was under the influence of
liquor, 50 to avoid trouble one of the men
gave him the money, but after getting it
he remarked to Scott that he had it in for
him anyway, and without further warn
ing struck al him with an open knife that
he had in his hand when he approa ched
the group. The weapon pierced the fleshy
part of SCOTS left arm, inhicting a slight
wound.
Previous to his attack on Scott, Harris
had met Manlgault at the corner of Bay
and Lumber Streets and with the assist
ance of White started in TO settle old
scores. This he did by giving Manigault
several vicious cuts about the face and
neck. The injured man was taken home
and doctor summoned, who dressed his
wounds.
Another arrest at the barracks was that
of William Taylor, white, who was sent
in by Lieut.. Reilly on a charge of as
saulting and beating K. Lenoir. At the
barracks Taylor charged Lenoir with hav-
ing used obscene language and assaulting
him. so he, too, was placed under ar
rest.

The recent cold snap did no damage
to the fruit ana vegetable crops of this

careful examination of both and did not
find bud Of a fruit tree or the leaf of
a spring vegetable that showed any sign
of having been nipped by the frost.
In Worth county, where Maj. Ryals in
spected the fruit trees, there had been
thin ice in some places, but the fruit was
not hurt. even by the degree of cold that
that had sufficed to produce this. In the
