 Purple Martins Arrive.
 The purple martin has arrived from his winter spent in Bermuda and Bra gil. The martins, only a few years ago, came to Jewett City by scores and would be friendly with anybody, making their summer homes anywhere that boxes were put up for their oc- eupation. The English sparrow al- ways fought them vigorously and if there was no human interference the martins were whipped and driven out of their boxes. It is now a fact that the martin is almost extinft in Gris- wold. A few pairs come each year to ". G. Duce's boes on South Main street, and that is the only place in Jewett City where it is possible to see and watch this handsome and busy /, bird. There is also one place in Gias- | go where small colony each year has survived the enemies attacks 1 A fact, proven in the boxes of Mir Duce and pr. Jennings, is that the bird, coming in early spring as he does, suffers from the cold and damp of days like Saturday and Sunday, and l it becomes sadly his undoing, for they 1 | tight as they can and there smother.
