Storm Wiped Out Birds.

quently the subject Of remark. Be-
fore the storm the woods around
Brenham swarRed with birds of
twenty kinds, and the town was
literally alive with English spar
rows. There are now very few OF
the latter seen, and the chirp Of a
bird in the swamp or woodland is
rarely heard. The generally &C
copied theory of their disappear
ance is that the smaller kinds were
dislodged from their perches by
that awful gale, and beaten to
death jRihe brush and against the
grouI gees. In support of
this IN gay be said that The
morning she storm hundreds
of SparrowS were dead in the court
house plaza here, and at the base
of every brick wall scores could be
seen. There is no doubt but that
they were blown against the walls
with sufficient force to kill them.
However this may be, whether
they .were destroyed by the storm
or whether they died from some
disease, or whether they have
migrated, toe fact remains that
birds of all the small species are
very ninch scarcer IN Washington
