It was noticed the past few years in
a local -garden -that. as soon as lettuce
and peas began to grow, above the
ground they ,were eaten by sparrows.,•
This year new varieties of these vege-
tables were planted and have grown
unneoies'ted, while a small patch with
the old varieties has been completely
destroyed by the marauders.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
During the sum'm'er of 1875 a rail-
way was laid between. London and
Wdngham. Rev. John Ross, late of
Brucefield, was hi the midst of .public
worship, when the attention of pastor
and people heard the whistle and roar
of a 'train as it thunderedp ast the vil-
lage. The minister paused and • ap-
pealed to his congregation as follows:
"What are you going to do," he Said,
"in vindication of God's right to His
own day? Are you going to allow the
railway to fling defiance in God's
face at your very doors? WHAT are
you going to DO?"
A petition vias sent to ministers all
over Canada, along with the following
letter:
Seaford', 'Mar, 7th, 1882,
Dear, Sir: If you,approve of the ob-
ject of: the accompanying petition, will

ward the same- to the member of the

the matter be .before the House of
