Death of Mrs. Birtcll.

Mrs. Cordela S. Birtcil died at the
home of her son, Ray, in Tionesta, No
vember 5th, 1901, alter an illness extend
ing over the past two or three years.
Although in quite feeble health during
a greater portion of this period, and at
tims death IN ight have been expected at
any moment, yet when the fiual sum-
mons came it was sudden aud unexpect-
ed, Mrs. Birtcil was born near Pleas
antvile, Pa, in January, 1885, her maid
en- name being Aldrich, and she had been
a resident of Tionesta for the past IA
years. She was a woman OF gentle and
atiectionote nature, abounding in good
ness and kindness toward her neighbors
while in health, qualities that endeared
her TO all who knew her, Besides her
husband, Jeremiah Birtcil, she is sur
vived by five children, as follows: Mrs.
j. A. Hawke OF Warren, Pa, George A,
of Shlppenville, Clarion county, and

Wild Pigeons May Return.

A special from Chardon, Ohio, of recent
date says: A flock of fully 500 wild pig
cons passed over Chardon last Saturday
afternoon. Hundreds of people who are
familiar with the markings of the wild
pigeon witnessed the sight. The flock
was also seen at Aquila lake. The reap
pearance of these birds after all absence
of % years has caused considerable spec
ulation among the sportsmen Of this To-
cality. Wild pigeons were last seen near
Chardon in April, 1888.
The last great flight of these birds in
Northern Ohio was witnessed in the
spring of 1876. The pigeons reappeared
in the spring of 1877, but in greatly di-
minished numbers. Their total disap-
pearance later caused the belief to become
general that tie birds had become ami
hilaled by market hunters. For years
the Smithsonian Institution has had a
standing offer of 81 900 for single speci-
men of the American wild pigeon, At
various times the presence of pigeons has
been reported in remote sections Of for
eign countries, but all efforts to locate the
birds in the United States has proved
fruitless.
