L BpT DF ♦ Rims Sreay.—At the vil-
lage store the other night the queetion
VMS asked by one of the many who
Dome there to get their mail matter and
indulge in the friendly gossip of the
neighborhood, it the migratory birds
Mitt come over every spring weepy the
nests that they had used the previous
year, or if they build new ones? The
imbeot of conversation was the extra-
ordinary number of birds of all kinds
that ham been hero this eummer, and
pueetlon was asked our olid f'riend
ses (tont the woolen mill, who ie known
Ind near es an authority on birds,
be is quite a naturalist in his way
and front tong experience in their habits
Mas ppeerfectly competent to answer the
question. ” Well, boys," he remarked,
I can vouch for it that some birds do
MT* bask and occulty the same nests
atter year, bet I am not re certain
all the varieties do the same thing,
n ay as p sons three or four years
t p a small keg un the top of a
pole 10 As to induce some of them to
soots sad nest there and in due time a
S rest little pair of wrens found it out,
brought* lot of nesting material together
' And started houeekeeping They raised
two if not three broods, then went *way
lathe fall, for you know they are migra-
tg'y bide and do not stay during the
w etsr months. Well, after '+sing my
guests for three yore in succession,
Early last spring a pair of sparrows
Mound out their cozy quarters, for the
Wrens had not yet returned, and doaid-
' tor appropriate
dawithoui their that they
ty little friends were not disposed to
{��p'ee•empted by those burly eparrowe,
witAout some resistance. Already they
Mad brought a lot of coarse building
Materiel into the keg when ono tine
writing those sparrows found out that
fay Ostia wrens had a prior right, and
*Ina commenced a battle royal for the
wnership of the site. The only en-
trant* was through a small hole about
One end a half inches across and as soon

"It CONSTITUTION
as the sparrows were away the wrens
would pop in and pull out all the long
strewn end feathers that the sparrows
had brought, This state of things was
kept up for several days until finally
the sperrowe allowed the trhite feather
and left the wrend to ttndleputed posses-
sion. It was of nu uee for the sparrows
to try to catch the wrens, for they were
too nimble end could dodge may too
fest for any sparrow to be able to keep
up with them. They are there now
end as happy a pair of writes as Gall he
found anywhere and I think are rearing
their second brood. The eparrowe ueyer
returned, for when they found out that
the wrens had the befit of it they left
them alone. Oh yes! I can answer affir-
matively that some varieties of birds
occupy their old nests season after sea-
son, with some little repairs, of course,
and not only have I the proof of the
wrens, hut a lovely pair of orioles have
occupied the same nest in an elm tree
near my bedroom window for several
years, but I do not think they bring out
more than one brood every year, fur
they leave us very early in the fall. I
was almost going to forget telling you
that when my little wrens found out
that they had the best of the sparrows
they started a jubilee of song with the
male bird perched upon a limb near by,
singing to the full extent of his little
throat. 'Then to make the victory the
surer they brought in a lot of twigs
and sticks to barricade the entrance of
their little castle, leaving just the tiniest
little hole that none but a email bird like
the wren could enter in. 'Talk about
instinct! Why! there was more than
instinct in this instance, for it 'Mowed a
considerable amount of reasoniug."

FATAL ACCIDENT. ---A Meet dretrese.
ing end fatal aceident happened on the
farm of Mr.. Win. Anderson, lot 29,
con. 5, McKillop, on Thursdey morn-
ing of last week, when her second son,
John, a boy of 15 years of age, was
ahnost instantly killed. Tire eiretun-
stances] surrounding the accident are
particularly sad. The lad was taking a
10Itd of rails to the back field of the
farm, and while going down a hill the
homes started to trot, and being unable
to stop them, they Noon started into a
run, and the unfortunate lad was thrown
off, and the back wheel was suppoised
to have posed over him, etnashlug the
base of the skull. Swedes this, he re-
ceived several scalp wounds. Ilis
mother end little brother, who were
&flowing behind on foot, were eye-
witnesses of the lamentftble affair. Mr.
James C. Henderson, who was working'
in one of the fields tense by, also saw the
accident and hurried to the relief of the
unfortunate boy, but hy that time life
was extinct, death having apparently
beeu inetantaneous. Dr. McGinnis Was
imtnediately sent for, hut could do
nothing for the lad. The sad affair is a
most severe blow to the widowed
mother, as she has not only, lot a good
and dutiful son, but one of her ohief
supporte has been removed. John was
an induatrions and hard working boy,
He was most highly thought of by the
neighbors, and the sincerest sympathy
of all will be extended to the bereaved
mother and friends.
