BIackbirds at Prayer.

Here is the latest from the Park
hurst correspondent: For the last
ten years millions of blackbirds have
annually gathered in a cedar swami
near here.
IT was in the swamp last week,
mending a hedge fence, and made q
discovery. They were holding camp
meetings, the row of sleek, fine-look'
inging birds on the top of the tallest
tree I think were ministers, and as
watched, one of them spread his
wings and talked in low, earnest
tones, and the multitude bowed their
heads.
"Then he said something to them in
blackbird and all the birds in one tree
began to sing and several in the audi
ence also Joined in. The services then
began and were conducted by an old
bird with part of his tail gone. There
was some flirting and tittering going
on in the back trees, but most of the
audience were quiet. 1t looked tC
me as though many Of the birds were
asleep.
when the meeting closed, every
bird began to talk, and such CHR
music l never heard before. Their
