 It has been frequently noticed that no wild bird can understand the prop critics of glass, and great numbers, ranging in size from a pheasant to titmouse. are killed by flying against the windows of country houses.
 If room possesses a large mirror reflecting the view seen through an open window birds are particularly lia- ble to be deceived, and especially if frightened into thinking that they can fly through it.
 Sparrow hawks will sometimes chase their intended victims into strange places. Some years ago a member of this species pursued a small bird through the open window of railway carriage in motion. In it's blind determination to secure the panting fugitive it entangled It's claws in the meshes of the hat rack and was ignominiously slain by an astonished passenger with an umbrella.

 Zachary Taylor died after little more than years service. The California question and the slavery question were important issues be- fore the country at this time. Up- on Taylors death Willard Fillmore took the oath of office. A book known as Uncle Toms Cabin came into print in this administra- tion. This book had great deal to do with stirring up the North over the slavery question. This period really marked the beginning of the struggle between the North and the South

brought hundreds of people to the
scene within comparatively short
time.
MIR. Hammond had retired at his
usual hour (Mrs. Hammond being on q
visit to friends in Meyersdale) and was
awakened between the hours of one
and two o'clock by smoke pouring into
his sleeping apartment and upon max

that the upper floor of the building was
on fire, the flames having gained con-
siderable Roadway. He at once called

going to his assistance in saving some
of the furniture of the first floor and
in giving an alarm by telephone and
otherwise with the result that in a
few minutes the town turned out.
The hose reels were soon at the fire
and the work of extinguishing the
flames was begun, For more than three
hours thousands of gallons of water
were poured into the building The
fire seemed to be confined to the third
floor of the structure and in the roof
timbers and at times it appeared that
the flames were under control, only to
burst through the roof at other points
which was disheartening to the fighters,
but they persisted and at last they were
the victors, but only after the roof had
been almost entirely burned off and the
third floor burned out, with damage by
fire and water to the two lower floors.
