IMPORTED GAME BIRDS.
MongOlian Pheasants Drive Out PartridgeS

A few pairs of Mongolian phesants have been liberated in this vicinity from time to time, and they have shown themselves to be able to take care of themselves and are reproduc- ing rapidly. An old sportsman from Huntington said yesterday: .I don't care much for these new birds from Asia. Wherever they have been planted the partridge have disappear ed. I have watched them in the field and believe that they drive cut the partridge and quail. They fight like professionals and one day this summer I watched an encounter between pheasant and a cock partridge. The partridge got the worst of the fight and would have been killed if he had not got out of the way. I don't be- ieve that they are as good table birds as our own native partridge. They like buckwheat pretty well, and I think they do considerable damage. pay more attention to our native va rletles and omit this importing busi- ness we would be better off. We have the English sparrows, the star lings, and a dozen other kinds of birds which are anything but an improve ment on the natives. The most of them are pure unadulterated pests"

The two extra rooms in the Frank lin school which were supposed to provide for the district for some years to come, are being furnished and will soon be filled with scholars.
