One of the pretty anticipations of the
summer was spoiled at Allen Par
tridge's S4 Court street. the other day,
when the cat caught bluebrd. A
pair of those beautiful singers had
made a nest in the top of an unused
pump that stood in the yard, and the
family had watched with a great deal
of interest the bird home-making and
housekeeping. 1t was a pretty sight to
see them flying about, and they actual
ly seemed to appeal to human friend
ship with the way they appeared as the
family came and went. There were six
eggs in the nest when the cat broke
up the nest by catching the mother
bird. and the eggs would have Matched
in the course of six or seven days
Clarence b. Partridge is going to make
a souvenir of the nest and eggs, cut

purpose. and then removing the top Sc

But that won't bring back the birds
nor hatch the eggs that were to give
the world more birds.
