WRITTEN FOR LAST WEEK.

To whom it may concern, we
would state that the blue bird is a
native of this stste. This much in
.refuta.ion of the statement, that
they bad returned early this year.
Twelve years ago, with a neat
box nest, we ehtised pair in our
front yard, and last yea: they came
again and raised tive bro'ds of
birds. During the winter they re-
peatedIy visited their nest, aud
war has begun between them and
the English sparrows. Ever and
anon it becomes necessary to bring
to their aid the parlor rife. Tae
blue bird is the creates insect d.
stroyer of all birds, very useful in
a garden, and will always nest near
a dwelling when suitable place
can be found.
