Change of Habit.

The chimney swallow built it's nest
somewhere long before the white man
constructed chimneys, the potato
bug had it's home ON the plains before
it ever knew a potato, ind the common
elm beetle has fed voraciously in the
mountains of North Carolina on a
species of skullcap scutellaria, touch
ing apparently no other plant, in To-
calities where the elm was not to be
found. In gardens half starved bees
have taken to grapes and raspberries.
Once when there was no rain from
the Fourth of July until Oct. IL, every
thing having become parched long be-
fore, and insects living on green food
did not increase, the robins took to
seeds and green fruits. The apples
in the orchards were dug out as if by
mice. An American Golden Pippin,
with heavy crop. presented a re-
markable appearance with what
should be apples hanging on the trees
like empty shells. In brief, no crea-
ture will ignore the promptings of
nature 1t will change it's habits when
necessity demands.

A Few moment. Of Leisure.

Thrift and industry have been the

Her absence much alarmed her niece.
aud when the search party at last re-
turned with Miss Jelly, whom they
had found hungry. but safe, the niece
fell on her aunt's neck.

February IS, 1875.

Five of the new gasolene street
lamps upon Main street are now run
ming dark nights.
Augustus Spellman has bought OF
M. M. johnson two houses on the
south side of High street.
Lot O'Halloran, for many years q
merchant upon South street in this
village, died last Friday evening of
congestion of the lungs, after less
than a weeks illness. His funeral
was attended from the Catholic church
on Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs. O'Hallo-
ran have been noted for their chart
ties among the poorer Irish families
of the village, and a long train of
sincere mourners followed the remains
to the grave.
One day this week the Staffordville
stage, in turning around near the
Baptist church at the Hollow, where
lady passenger had just been taken
on, slid down an icy incline and
overturned. The horses ran through
the dooryard of Mrs. M. B. Harvey
into the orchard below, prancing for
some time among the trees, against
which the stage, drawn upon it's side,
was repeatedly bumped. To the great
relief of spectators, when the horses
were stopped the lady, who was alone
in the stage, emerged entirely free
from injury from her perilous trip,
and very little damage resulted in
any other way.
