Among our exchanges we notice the
opinion expressed regarding the rate of
speed at which some automobiles are
driven. Horses are usually afraid of
them at first and we recently read OF
one in Sharon that was SO paralyzed
with fear that it dropped dead after the
machine had passed, even going at a
leisurely rate of speed. We of course
welcome automobiles and recognize
them as being one of the favorite We
hicles in the future, but it seems as
though it would be well for those who
manipulate lem to be more careful
driving through the quiet country
towns and go slow. and il necessary
stop. when they meet teams, showing
more regard for the feelings, privileges
and safety of those who have to travel
by the old fashioned way, a horse and
wagon. In time horses will become
more accustomed to them as they are to
the bicycle,

ENGLISH SPARROWS.
Dates Mt which These Birds We
Imported Into This Country.

Dates Mt which These Birds Were
Imported Into This Country.
1 have been asked several times late
sparrows were imported into the Unit
ed States and by whom.
1t seems that the first attempt was
made In 1858 by a private citizen of
cortland, Me. In the fall Of that year
he liberated six sparrows. and they i'm
mediately made themselves at home
In his garden and outbuildings. For a
few years these birds and their de-
scendants were seen In and about the
town In small squads These birds
multiplied until In the winter of 1871
a flock of them appeared In every near
by town, thus showing their tendency
to spread over adjoining territory.
About 1860 II birds were imported
and liberated near Madison square,
New York city, and this was repeated
for several seasons.
In 1854 the commissioners of New
York liberated IA birds In Central park
About this time numerous persons re-
turning from abroad brought a few
birds home and set them at liberty In
and about Jersey City.
The craze for importing these birds
spread, and in 1868 the city govern
ment of Boston imported a great num-
Der. But the birds had not been care
fully handled, and they did not thrive,
and others were brought over. The
birds which survived from these va
rious importations were carefully fed
and looked after by the city govern
ment.
In 1860 a thousand were imported
and liberated In the city of Philadel-
phia, and soon the birds spread over
all adjacent territory.
About this time the Smithsonian in
stitution became interested In bringing
these birds to this country, so they I'M.
ported 800, but most of them died. In
| 1871 the same institution brought over
another lot, and they were successfully
caredfor.
From this 1t is seen that the birds
have started from a number of points
and were not one or two importations
to New York, as is usually supposed

for the night. The boys at once pro-
ceeded TO arouse him by singing some
choice selections. This explains the

denizens Of that suburb have been at
tributing to pack OF coyotes. one
of the participants thus describes the
climax of this affair: ''The Trisky'

before coffee Yves on tap, tlankcd by

gentleman was very glad to see the
boys and entertained his impromptu

been well received by all classes of
people throughout the country. Even
the larger democratic newspapers can
find no flaw in the document as a
