Isaiah Brewer, one of the most energetic of the farmers of Warren township, cut the first wheat harvested in Franklin county this year.

Mr. Wolff's friends will be glad to learn that he is to become a permanent resident of the county. A WORD TO COUNCIL. A Duty That Lies Before It the Houses--An Advantageous Time Presented.

Postoffice Inspector Darby was here on Saturday and it is believed that as a result Chambersburg will be recommended for free mail delivery. Council, however, has several duties to perform before the system can go into effect. Street signs must be placed at the corners and all the houses must be numbered. These two measures the members of Council have had under consideration and it is understood that both will be favorably passed upon. With reference to the latter measure a Committee of Council not long ago reported that it was against its judgment that the houses on the streets running east and west be renumbered.

If this report was adopted by Council it should be reconsidered. An opportunity is extended, now when the houses not numbered must be supplied with numbers, to correct the mistake made when the dividing line running north and south was placed at Water street. It was a silly idea to number the houses east and west from this line but it is a more foolish action to refuse to change the system when the sentiment of the people is for an alteration of it. While one improvement is being made let a ridiculous error be corrected. The SPIRIT believes it speaks for the citizens of town when it asks that Council take the necessary steps for effecting this change of numbers.

It was recently pointed out in this paper how such a change could be effected at little cost to the people whose numbers will be altered. Will Council authorize the rectification of the mistake No more opportune time will ever present itself. FREE MAIL DELIVERY NEAR. Inspector Darby Visita Chambersburg On Saturday-Some Points Concerning Free Mail Delivery. Postoffice Inspector Charles R.

Darby visit ed Chambersburg on Saturday and made an inquiry into the qualifications of this place for free mail delivery. In the course of his inspection he examined the gross receipts of the postoffice, the manner of numbering the houses sand endeavored to ascertain the proportion of the houses numbered, learned the system of marking the streets and interviewed prominent citizens as to the sentiment of the people with relation to free delivery. What Mr. Darby's report will be is, of course, a matter of conjecture but it is believed that the inspection will result in the recommending of Chambersburg for free delivery, as the conditions are pretty thoroughly complied with. If the system be procured for this place it is thought three carriers will be necessary and provided for by the Department.

Three deliveries will be made each day. Letterboxes will be placed about three squares apart in the thickly inhabited part of the town while greater distances will be observed on the outskirts. One will be placed in some hotel that is open all night. Twenty or twenty-five boxes will be given to Chambersburg. The Inspector's report will be presented to the Department at once and the necessary steps taken with reference to it.

If Chambersburg is granted the free delivery it will be a month or possibly longer before the system can be put into effect. The Outing Club's Trip To-morrow. Y. C. A.

Outing Club has decided to an outing to Conococheague Island to morrow afternoon. The party will meet the Cumberland Valley railroad station at o'clock and return on the 5:10 P. M. train. The expense will be 40 cents.

Prof. D. A. Dice will be Leader. All young men who would like to attend will consult the General Secretary or the Leader.

Slightly Poisoned Systems From Store Cheese. Four children of Mr. Joseph Kriechbaum, of West Market street, were taken sick late on Monday night from the effects of some cheese they had eaten earlier in the evening. A physician was summoned and under his ministrations the little sufferers grew better. Yesterday they were greatly improved.

The cheese they ate was what is known as "store cheese." Suggestion As To the Court-house Clock. A correspondent suggests that the hands on the Court-house clock be gilded while the Court-house is being repainted. The redcolored hands are not by any means as easily and quickly seen as are the gilded hour signs, he gives as his reason. There is force in the suggestion of our correspondent. Red is the proper color for the hands and no other would make so great and so pleasing a contrast with the face of the clock as gilt.

Dies Suddenly After a Long Illness In Greenvillage. Mrs. Jane Wallace died at her residence in Greenvillage. Her remains will be interred in the Falling Spring graveyard in this place on Friday morning. Mrs.

Wallace was the sister of Mr. Andrew Criswell, of South Second street, Chambersburg, and was in the seventy-first year of her age. For a number of years she had suffered with dropsy but her death was rather sudden and unexpected and was due, immediately, to paralysis of the heart. Mrs. Wallace leaves two unmarried daughters and a son.

Thor First bersburg-Half New a Wheat Crop of Brought Wheat At To Least. ChamThe first load of new wheat hauled to Chambersburg this year was received on Monday at the warehouse of M. A. Keefer Co. Mr.

John Faust, of St. Thomas township, owned the grain which had been threshed thus early and sold to the dealer. It was of fair quality. In this connection a report which has gained currency beyond the county's limits is that not a quarter of a crop of grain will be harvested by our farmers. The SPIRIT has it, after some extensive research, that at least half a crop of good wheat will be averaged by the farmers of the county.

The Lutheran Picnic On FridayWill Collect the Baskets.

Comes Back to Franklin County For His Bride-Off for the West. Jno. P. Shearer, Pension Examiner, was in Chambersburg a short time yesterday after a visit of nearly a week to his relatives in Path Valley.

He was warmly welcomed by his old friends here. This 1 morning he will be married at the residence of Mr. J. Harvey Hamilton, near Shippensburg, to Miss Laurette Harvey. The bridal couple will go to Washington City for a few days and then to Muncie, Indiana, the present residence of Mr.

Shearer. As soon as Mr. Shearer can complete his arrangements he will remove to Cold Water, Michigan, to which place he has been transferred by the Pension Department at Washington. The friends of Mr. and Mrs.

Shearer extend hearty congratulations to them. The Repainting of the Court-house-The Lightning Rod To Be Strengthened. Work was commenced yesterday upon the repainting of the Court-house. A scaffold was built out from the open spaces in the cupola and ladders run from this to the base of the statue. On these Pierce and George Grove ascended to the statue and Ben.

Franklin was given a bright coat of white paint. A portion of the flag staff above him was also painted. The painter as he stood on the pedestal of the statue was between three and four feet shorter than Franklin. To-day Eberly Keefer will strengthen the lightning rod. Where it passes through Franklin's hand the rod has been bent so many times that it is now easily bowed and es each time the flag is run up the rod is twisted out of shape.

The rod will be patched at its weak point. HOPE FOR THOSE WHO WILL ACCEPT IT The Reported Determination of the Bondholders In the South Penna. RailroadThe Road To Be Built. The completion of the South Pennsylvania railroad is again talked of. It is now said that the capitalists interested in it have determined to re-open the case in the Supreme Court, where it has been tied up since a decision was made against the transfer to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company upon a preliminary injunction.

This move will be made at the September term of the Court, when the legality of the transfer will be tested upon a permanent injunction. The case of the South Pennsylvania railroad will be conducted by ex-President Gowen, of the Reading railroad, who will come home during September especially to take part in the case. At a recent meeting of the capitalists of the road held in Philadelphia it was decided, it is understood, to have the property sold under a foreclosure of the mortgage which had been issued upon it, and to have a reorganization effected upon a basis of 4 instead of 6 per cent. This course was pursued with reference to the Beech Creek railroad, and that property was successfully reorganized. It has been ascertained, so the report goes, that but few of the bondholders are averse to bearing a pro rata share of the money necesgary to the completion of the road.

For those bonds held by men not willing to go on with the work purchasers have been found, it is said. There has been paid in by bondholders about 38 per cent. of assessments. The Vanderbilt holdings had been regarded with much anxiety by other capitalists but it is now asserted that the Vanderbilts will join in the completion of the line. The Vanderbilt family, it is understood, regard the obligation of the late William H.

Vanderbilt to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in transferring the South Pennsylvania to the former corporation as having been discharged. The lower and higher Courts of this State have declared that the transfer was illegal, and that this precludes its being made. The Vanderbuilt interest gives this as a reason for not taking any further steps to accomplish the transfer. It also relieves it from further refusal to take part in the completion of the line. A member of the Vanderbilt family recently declared that the money invested had been tied up too long, and that some steps should be taken to make it available.

SHE WRAPPED THE FLAG ABOUT HER. A Chambersburg Lady Saves Her Life and -Her Patriotism Respected. Greencastle has had fame thrust upon her by Col. Aylett in his Gettysburg speech but the lady whose bravery inspired the southern soldier's most impassioned oratory is yet unknown. There are several ladies each of whom their friends claim waved an apron made of the stars and stripes at Pickett's men as they passed through Greencastle.

Chambersburg had a brave woman whose identity has never been lost. When the southern troops were burning Chambersburg Miss Lou Brand, a sister of Mr. Jacob S. Brand, of Philadelphia Avenue, wrapped about her a large United States flag and standing on the front steps of their residence on East Queen street, the house now belonging to and occupied by Mr. Daniel Gilbert just west of the Franklin House, defied the invading soldiers to harm her or to burn her home.

She suffered no injury and the dwelling was saved, although other buildings in the neivhborhood were burned. The soldiers respected her patriotism and her belief that her flag wrapped about her would save her. Miss Brand died some years ago but the flag that she made historic and which had belonged to a Union company is yet preserved by Mrs. A. C.

McGrath, of South Main street, and will long be treasured by her. GLAD IT WAS OVER. The Number of Dollars His Religion Was Worth To Him -A Queer Case In Frank- lin County. A peculiar legal case was before a Justice of the Peace in this county a few days ago. Two men, one of them of the Mennonite persuasion, had endorsed for a neighbor on a note and were compelled to pay it.

Afterwards the two endorsers brought suit against the neighbor but after judgment was obtained in the Magistrate's Court the Mennonite was persuaded to withdraw from the prosecution. It is said that such an occurrence was So rare that a precedent could not be found in the short time allowed for the change in the legal papers to be made. There was a hasty consultation with a lawyer and a paper was prepared which set forth that the note was the joint property of the two men, the endorsers, and that one relinquished all claim to his half of the amount represented in it, giving it to the man for whom they had endorsed. This paper was signed by both endorsers. The costs were paid by each and the Mennonite as he left the Magistrate's office was heard to mutter "Well, I'm glad that's over.

I feel better now." He was out of pocket nearly two hundred dollars. The New Uniforms Adopted By the Junior Hose Company. The Junior Hose Company at a meeting last night adopted a helmet and gloves, thus completing the new uniforms they purpose purchasing. The uniform entire will consist of a long double-breasted frock coat of fawn color, a fawn colored cloth fatigue cap with gold trimmings; white leather helmet with gold trimmings and nickel shield bearing the words "Junior Hose Company, No. 2," and the initials of the member of the Company to whom it is assigned, all the letters in gold; gloves, and white duck tips for over the shoes.

The new uniforms promise to be very handsome and will be worn for the first time on the occasion of the Company's trip to Allentown and Reading the latter part of September. An Agent of the Children's Aid Society of Philadelphia Comes to Eranklin County. Miss Pemberton, an agent of The Children's Aid Society of Philadelphia, was, a large portion of last week, in Greencastle for the purpose of organizing a committee of ladies to act as an adjunct to the society she represents. The duty of this committee is the finding of homes for poor children of this county, either those who are under the care of the Directors of the Poor or those whom the committee may have reason to believe will be benefitted by a change of home. A committee of seven ladies was organized in Greencastle.

On Tuesday Miss Pemberton attended the meeting of the Poor Directors and obtained their consent to a trial of her plan. If the committee she organized will be able to find good homes for children under their care they have agreed to allow the children to be placed there. It will be remembered that some time ago an agent from the same Philadelphia Society organized a committee in Chambersburg but for various reasons the ladies who composed it never took any active measures to carry out the purposes of the Society. Arrested on a Charge of Perjury in a Pension Case. There was a sensation in Carlisle on Wednesday caused by the fact that Captain Joseph G.

Vale was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal James L. Marshall on the charge of certifying to a fraudulent pension claim. A man named George Weiman, who resides in Lancaster, received a pension three years ago amounting to $3,000, Among the affidavits was that of Captain Vale, who certified that the man was injured in the service, stating the time and place. Pension Examiner Bostick, who has examined into the case, claims it is a fraudulent one and the indorsers are therefore guilty of perjury. Capt.

Vale, after his arrest, acknowledged that he had certified to the case and said that he believed it was correct. He was taken to Lancaster and given a hearing at which time an affidavit made by Weiman deposing that he had not been wounded at all in the war but had been shot in 1854 in an accident in Lancaster, was "produced. Weiman applied for a pension twice. The first time he dropped the matter. The second time he was urged to a prosecution of the claim by the inducements of Vale, he stated.

Both Weiman and Vale were held in $1500 bail. Capt. Vale is known in Franklin county. USE DR. SHADE'S "FAMILY PILLS" and save Doctor bills, For sale everywhere.

A RESIDENCE TO BE MUCH IMPROVED. The the Changes Structure Begun In a Building -Wherein Is To Be Made More Substantial and Handsome. Workmen Monday began upon a series of extensive improvements to the residence and offices of Dr. E. Brallier on South Main street.

A general remodelling of the building will be followed by the refurnishing of it in many parts. The result the whole work will be a vastly improved residence. The front door will be furnished with a new frame and a canopied hood. A pair of doors will lead into a vestibule that will be wain. scoted with panelled button wood, highly finished, and laid with a floor of hard wood of two or three colors in geometric design.

A pair of doors, fitted with cut, ground and figured glass, will lead thence into the hall. The stairway leading from this will be remodelled. A massive newel post will support a bronze candelabrum and at the head of the first landing a second handsome candelabrum will be placed. In Dr. Brallier's offices, however, the greatest changes will be made.

The entrance door and frame will be new and covered with a canopied hood. The upper portion of the door will be of plate glass. The front office will be wainscoted with walnut and ash or oak and a hard wood floor of the same materials will be laid. A large window of two panes of glass will replace that now looking upon the street and large book cases will be erected on two sides of the room. The floor of the rear office will consist of a border of walnut and oak or ash, with a centre piece of selected Georgia pine.

The much agitated question of a sewer to carry off the waste water from the Montgomery House and National Hotel is likely to be settled within a short time.

As reported in the SPIRIT of Friday morning Council took action upon the petition of citizens for a sewer at this place by delegating the whole matter to the Burgess and Street Committee. These officials have been in consultation with the owners of the two hotel properties concerned and the sewer will be built, if present indications are of any value. Ten-inch pipes will be used and the sewer will start in the alley, 110 feet east of Main street. If the necessary arrangements can be made with Major Austin the pipes will be run into the twelve inch pipes of which the sewer for his new buildings is constructed. Nearly the entire expense of this will be borne by Dr.

J. Montgomery and Mr. George Zullinger, owners of the hotel properties. Provided permission cannot be obtained to use the Austin sewer, a sewer will be constructed from a point 110 feet from Main street, in the alley between the hotels, to run across the street, through the alley to Spring street, under the race and through the Woolen Mill land, if consent to this can be obtained, to the Conococheague. Ten-inch pipes will be used and a calculation made by an expert places the cost of the entire sewer at $246 50.

Of this amount the owners of the hotels will pay seven-eighths. The cost to the Borough will thus, it will be seen, be less than fifty dollars and benefit resulting from the sewer will be far greater to the citizens than is the value of the money. The offensive odors in summer and the ice-covered and dangerous crossing in winter will be all done away with. It was the advice of the SPIRIT taken several weeks ago that led to the present movement for the erection of the sewer. The SPIRIT would add that the work be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.

A sewer is necessary there and the quicker it is completed the better for the health and ap pearance of the town. TENANTS MOVING. The White Building On the Diamond To Be Raised To Three Stories -Summer Arrangements By the Tenants. The work of erecting a three-story block of storerooms on the southeast corner of the Diamond will be rapidly pushed now unless something at present unforeseen occurs. Mr.

H. M. White, the proprietor of the place, has given the contract for the new building to Mr. D. W.

Hess, of Scotland, and Monday afternoon Messrs. White and Hess went to Harrisburg to inspect store fronts in that city with a view to utilizing some of the ideas there obtained in erecting a very handsome front to the new building. Mr. Jacob Shafer will have charge of the masonry on the building. Two of the tenants of the building, Messrs.

H. B. Hatnick and J. B. Miller, on Monday began the removal of their goods.

Mr. Hatnick has rented the billiard tables and rooms of Holtzworth Miller, under Repository Hall, and has dismantled his billiard tables and stored them away for the summer. In a week or so he will remove his stock of cigars and tobacco to this same room. He will return to the White building in two months. Mr.

J. B. Miller will, for the next few months, transact business in the Stager building. The room formerly occupied by Mr. A.

L. Overcash as a grocery will be used as the salesroom. Mr. J. F.

Mc Laughlin's room will be the storage room and in a portion of Ebersole's warehouse will be placed the cooking stoves, ranges, etc. Hollar Appenzellar will remain in their storeroom during the making of the improvements. A false ceiling, front and rear will be constructed about the room in order that they may carry on their business during the summer. How the Conflagration Appeared To Her Chambersburg Lady's Description. Stories of the war and the part Franklin county played in it have been revived recently.

Many have been told but none is more to the point than the following A southern officer asked a Chambersburg lady during the burning of the town what the conflagration looked like to her. Her answer was quickly given "It-looks as if hell had taken an emetic." The officer was astonished at the sharp reply and too much inspired with respect for the fearless woman to make answer. The lady's description was so full of force that it has been remembered through the years that have passed since the day she uttered it. The Thermometer Keeps the People Perspiring-Oh! For a Rain!

HULL EXAMINES INTO THE ICE CREAM OF COMMERCE. His Experiments as to its Purity- What Re- sults He Obtained- -The Cause of Sickness From Eating the Cream. The cases of ice cream poisoning which are reported each summer have put many scientists to work in the endeavor to ascertain the exact cause for this fatal result of eating the delicious light food. Among those who have conducted experiments with purpose in view is Dr. Hull, of this place.

Dr. Hull has formulated a new theory with re spect to this and explained the results of his researches to a representative of the SPIRIT. Dr. Hull's theory is that ice cream poisoning is due to chemical action which takes place in the ice cream freezer and which dis. solves the zine of which the paddle is constructed.

His theory he demonstrated by means of an electrical experiment, in which the galvanometer was used, which proved to him that the zine of the paddle was. eaten away. To express it as briefly as possible his theory is as follows: Ice cream freezers are made of tin or copper and the paddle is composed of zinc. The two touch each other and chemical action follows when the ingredients of ice cream are placed in the freezer. A portion of the zine of the paddle is dissolved and this, being poisonous, the ice cream is rendered unhealthy.

It was Dr. Hull's belief that ice cream poisoning sometimes followed when the ingredients were perfectly pure. So when he made his experiment he took ingredients that a test showed free from any taint or poison. His experiment was one, as said above, in which electricity proved his hypothesis. His theory was that if any chemical action took place between the zine paddle and the material in the freezer there would be generated a current of electricity, the freezer being SO constructed as to warrant this belief.

Electricity is generated by chemical action and the presence of a current of electricity where zine and tin or copper and any fluid are concerned means that chemical action is going on, and that the fluid is dissolving the zine, if ever so slowly. In order to produce this current the metals must be connected by a conductor or must touch each other, as they do in the modern ice cream freezer. In conducting the experiments Dr. Hull connected the zine paddle and tin can by means a copper wire with a moderately sensitive galvanometer introduced in the circuit. He first experimented with pure cream, which deflected the galvanometer seven degrees at freezing point.

The galvanometer is an instrument for measuring and detecting currents of electricity. In its simplicity it is a magnetic needle so suspended over the wire carrying a current that it will either be deflected to the right or left, according to the direction and strength of the current passing through the wire. As said the galvanometer showed that with pure cream zine was slowly dissolved. Dr. Hull then continued his experiments with others of the ingredients of the summer delicacy.

He found the following results: Half cream and milk deflects the galvanometer do degrees; twenty-five one half degrees; cream, pure half mills, sugar forty and five vanilla flavor, fifty-eight; the same mixture with corn starch, forty-four; the same mixture with eggs, eighty degrees. Ice cream which contains acid fruits or other acids will cause still greater deflections. The objection interposed by some to the correctness of the theory is that ice cream poisoning in nearly every case occurs at picnics and that cream purchased in a store rarely causes sickness, therefore the theory cannot be generally applied. Dr. Hull answers this by the explanation that ice cream for a picnic is generally made the day previous to it and that the paddle is left in the cream until morning to giye it a final churning.

It is to be understood that the longer time the freezer and zine are connected the greater will be the amount of zine dissolved. Salt frequently finds its way into ice cream and this hastens the solution of the zine. Dr Hull, for the benefit of the SPIRIT representative, made a short experiment with hydrant water which he placed in a miniature ice cream freezer. When the zine paddle was inserted the galvanometer was deflected twenty degrees. A small amount of salt, just enough to impart the taste of it to the water, was then placed in the freezer and the galvanometer was defleeted forty-five degrees.

While the results of Dr. Hull's experiments appear to demonstrate that ice cream eating is dangerous it is well that the lovers of the delicacy should know that they do not all stand in immediate danger of illness from partaking of it. From fifteen minutes to three quarters of an hour are required to manufacture a freezer of ice cream and in this time the zine dissolved, provided the ingredients are pure, is so small in quantity that its effects will not be harmful. It is only from the ice cream freezer in which the paddie is allowed to remain for a number of hours that danger is to be apprehended. The people of Chambersburg who manufacture their ice cream will place themselves beyond the pale of peril by removing the paddle from the freezers the moment the cream is churned.

OPINIONS FROM THE COURT FILED YESTERDAY. An Auditor's Report Confirmed-The South. Penna. Railroad Sustained -Armstrong Must Receive His Sentence. Judge Rowe yesterday filed three opinions in cases before him.

In the John Lee Chap man estate the Auditor's report was confirmed. An important opinion filed was in the case of A. H. Hoffeditz vs. The Southern Penna.

Railway and Mining Company on a reserved point. The point reserved was the sixth one made by the defendant. This was as follows: "If the railroad, with culvert and embankment as now maintained, was constructed on and over the plaintiff's land at the time of the execution and delivery of the release of damages executed by Mrs. Louisa Hoffeditz and others-including the plaintiff -dated January, 1871, and offered in evidence, the said release is a bar to the plaintiff's right of action and the verdict must be for the defendant." The Court in the opinion filed said, after reviewing the arguments on both sides: "I held with the defendant, thinking his contention founded in the better reason and best supported by authority." This action was brought to recover from the Rail road Company damages to crops and land by reason of the insufficient character of the culvert at the Fort Loudon and Mercersburg junction. The owner of the land had, however, given a release from damages in consideration of certain payments.

This is the release referred to in the reserved point. In the case of Commonwealth vs. John Armstrong, of Antrim township, who was found guilty of obstructing an officer in the execution of a Sheriff's capias, Judge Rowe filed a lengthy opinion upon the motion in arrest of judgment. This motion was based upon the ground that Chief of Police Kriechbaum, who was obstructed by Armstrong after arresting Wilson Spoonhour, "was not a person having lawful charge of the prisoner and was not person duly authorized to execute the process and order of the Court for the reason that A. E.

Kurtz, being a deputy, could not deputize C. B. Kriechbaum to serve the process, which must be done by the Sheriff In his opinion Judie Rowe defined at great length the powers of a Sheriff and recited the authorities from the time of early English history upon the question. His conclusion was: "The Sheriff then can appoint an undersheriff or general deputy who may exercise all the ministerial parts of the office, such as serving process. And the final question is whether such deputy can depute another to serve process." By a number of authorities quoted it was shown that "a deputy cannot transfer his general powers but he may constitute a servant or bailiff to do a particular act; hence an undersheriff may depute a person to serve a writ." The motion in arrest of judgment was, therefore, overruled Armstrong will likely be sentenced at the September term of Court.

In the orange groves of the sunny south sweetest singer of all our American birds, mocking bird, makes his home. Unfortunately for us we are too far north for him visit us, and our only acquaintance with is through caged specimens.

Occasionally will come north to spend the summer, and is said that when one, who has passed summer in the north, returns to the south the autumn, he is attacked by his brethren. A few years ago a pair of these birds their nest in a thorn bush on a farm a miles from town, and there raised their but it is rarely that they visit us. In the sence of this sweet singer we are forced to content with the musie of the second-rate formers. Of these, one of the best known, and by many considered to be second only the mocking bird, is the cat-bird, or Carolina mocking. bird.

No doubt it will be a surprise to many learn that the cat bird is one of our sweetest singers, for most persons are accustomed rate his musical powers by his cat like But only gives expression to this when is irritated. The slate colored coat, cap chestnut red under the tail of bird are too well known to require any tailed description. He shows less fear man than any other bird and, when once finds that he will not be molested, becomes very familiar. He has somewhat of a prying disposition, examining everything with show of interest. There is something attractive about him.

All his movements show an excess of life and lively spirits. When mounted on a fence, or swinging on small branch he is constantly in motion, ing his head about and jerking his tail side to side in a very lively manner. He not a very early visitor in the spring. usually a arrives from the south about the of May. This year I first noticed him in garden on the sixth of May, though I seen one in the country ten days before.

His nest is built in a low bush, three or feet from the ground. The thickets of along the creek are a favorite resort, and cannot pass by without seeing several birds suddenly dart out from among bushes, exhibiting all the signs of alarm. When frightened from the nest the cat does not go far away, but will remain close by, watching all the movements of the intruder with a great deal of anxiety, and giving utterance to his cat-like sound at frequent intervals. Especially is this the case when there is a brood of young ones in the nest, the cat-bird evinces a powerful affection its young, and displays a great deal of tress when any danger threatens them, The cat-bird is a veritable mocker. He tempts the song of almost all the birds, with very good results, though frequently essaying the higher notes he fails in the tempt, often with a ludicrous result; and such failures he gives vent to his vexation a loud "mi-a-a-ah!" His own song is a pleasant one, the notes rippling from with a force and fullness that is truly pleasing.

He is not in the least deterred in efforts by the presence of a listener, but give utterance to his song within a few of his visitor. The early morning, just before the dawn, the best time to hear the cat-bird's song. that time of day one can hear him moving about from bush to bush even before it is light enough to see him. But he does not confine his efforts to the morning. Sometimes he will sing throughout the entire day.

An impression prevails that it is only in the early spring that the cat bird is a sweet singer, but this is mistake. All through the summer he may heard merrily singing in his favorite haunts. I once noticed one cat- bird who had been raised near a flock of chickens who had picked up the "cluck" of an old hen, and imitated to perfection. It was very amusing to hear him sitting in a tree clucking away with the greatest self satisfaction. For several years a pair of cat-birds have made their home in a syringia bush in our garden, returning there every spring, and, not being disturbed, they have become very tame.

I have been in the habit of throwing out to them a handful of crumbs and they have become quite fearless, coming close the kitchen door to pick up the crumbs, though they are ever on the alert for danger, turning their heads and intently listening the slightest sound. It is amusing to watch them drive away that bird tramp, the destestable house-sparrow, who is sure to happen along about that time and try to help himself to what the cat birds regard as their own special property. Often in the evening a little while before sunset this neighbor of ours, especially when his mate is hatching, will mount to the highest limb of a locust tree standing in the yard, and for half an hour or will give vent to a perfect flood of exquisite music, giving to his notes an expression that often rivals that of the mocking bird. One evening early in the spring for quite a while sat watching the efforts of two male catbirds trying to attract the attention of a female. They followed her about from bush bush, now on the grape vine, then on a lilac tree, neither one giving the other the least advantage, though she seemed perfectly indifferent to both.

This they kept up as long as I watched them. They did not sing any during their love making, each one seeming to depend upon his individual merits. The old expression, "give a dog a bad name and bang him" is literally exemplified in the bird. It is a great pity that such a name been bestowed on this sweet singer, and is a greater pity that he should have such a reputation generally. But he is very fond of the ripe grapes and the juicy pears as they grow mellow, and for his audacity in thus helping himself to the first fruits of the farmer he often pays the penalty with his life.

cat- bird lays four, or often five, eggs, of a greenish blue color, without any spots. Generally two and sometimes three broods are raised in a season. THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY ASSEMBLY.
