Shannon's residence, and whish had been the cause of much annoyance to the neighbors on account of it having been in the habit of feastiug its young, which it regularly brought out, on their poultry, came to an untimely death one day last week. Mr. Shannon being de. termined that his hawkship should not have the privilege of so doing this year, proceeded to the bush, armed with &rifle. The hawk immediately detected him and took wing, soon after, however, returning and alighting on a limb of a large tree eome thirty rods in distance.

There may be many good qualities in a miser, but his love for money kills them a ll, The devil is not wasting much powder on the preacher whose religion ie all in his head. Some preachers fail because they do not think it worth while to cultivate common sense. Many a doctor probably enjoys good health because he never takes any of hie own medicine.
