BUNKER HILL NOTES.

It isn't everybody that can kill a partridge with a revolver, but such is the case with a Bunker Hill milk ped lar, who drove home a few mornings ago on the road past Stoddard's. His horse was walking slowly when the young man detected a partridge under a rail fence by the road. He took out his revolver from under the cushion and aiming at the bird, fired. The cartridge went clean through the bird and the young man was surprised, to say the least As the close season was still in force, he was afraid to take it home or tell his folks about it, but finally put the dead partridge in the wagon and it lay around the barn until it became worthless. Friends of the young man who heard about it later say that it made their mouths water.

Heron nui1ds Nest. High.

Heron colonies are rare enough to excite interest in their location and the peculiarities of the nest-building of these birds. They live and rear their young year after year at the same place unless some catastrophe in bird life or the intrusion of unweL come residents cause them to move There are three known heron colonies in New England. One of them is on the plantation just to the north o1 Sebec lake. On point of land reach. ing out into the pond is a growth ot tall silver birches and there are al least 100 nests in the tops of those trees. The trees are tall without limbs for 40 feet or moro from the ground It is a well-known fact that herons never build nest in a tree with limbs much less than 70 feet from the earth. The nests are constructed from small sticks. The nest is at least two feet across.-Nature.

 Interest.
 Charles l.. Missen is the we'll known and popular candidate for the office Of selectman i'll the town of Watertown, and MT Missell is being pushed for ward in a strong manner by large number of his friends. The movement was started by few of his closest friends who are deSirouS of having rep resentation in Oakville and as far as the Selectmen are concerned, the ma jority of the people here want one or the three officials of the town right here Oakville people have been very much dissatisfied in regard to the ap- parent lack Of town improvements about the village all along until just before election. Charles Missell would poll a big Oakville vote regardless of party. If AIissell's warmest friends can pull him through at the caucus Friday evening everything will be clear sailing, and all local voters are requested to attend the caucus and work for Oakville in getting one of those selectmen. In regard to his chances or inclinations MT BIissell has said nothing. He has simply been pushed to the front by those who know him and like him well. If c. l.. Mis- sell can't win ill Oakville nobody here can.

THEY CALLED THE BIRDSs
But the sportsmen Discovered, to Their ChnErin, That They Were
 Answering Each Other.

A well-known sportsman who has recently been trying his luck with a gun in a neighboring state in which the "open season. has begun, tells story which illustrates the skill some gun ners acquire in the use of the bird whistle, says the Chicago Chronicle. On this particular day in fall the birds had not been flying we'll and the gun ners who had been out since early morning were one by one leaving for their homes. On his way home over the marshes one of them was on the lookout for grass birds and when he beheld flock about to alight he at once crouched down in the tall grass by the edge of creek and began call ing.
 It happened that another gunner who was about to give up his days work heard the sharp and repeated whistling of what he supposed were grass birds, and, quickly raising his gun, he, too, picked up his whistle and began to call. First the man in the tall grass would whistle, then the man in the adjoining stand would answer, dHu tHlS Was kept up Tor long time, until it got so dark that had the birds flown past either gunner they could not have seen them. Presently the gunner who was crouching in the tall grass yentured to. rise and sean the marshes, when to his surprise and chagrin he saw the gunner in the stand do likewise. Neither wished to ac- knowledge that he had been deceived by the others whistle, so they quietly disappeared in different directions without exchanging a word.
