ListowelStandard FRIDAY, FEB. 7, 1902, Pioneers of Canadian Or- nithology. PART ¥.-- BY W. L, KE. With the close of the year 1860, young Vennor had completed the first twenty years of his life, aud in the Canadian Natnralist for this year, which is the fifth year of its publica- tion,-hé is first introduced to the read- ers as a stndent of, aud a writer op, the science of Capadian Ornithology. His tiret article is entitled, 'Notes on the Birds Wiuteriag aronud Montreal." 'Theve notes contain the names of some 20. species of. birds, giving both their common and scietfific uames, and some details regarding their Jife-bistory, At the end of theks votes the writer «ro- marked, 'fhe birds mentioned 10 the above list are all that have come to wo notice during ihe winters of 1856-57, 57- 58, 50-60. Others may have noticed some that L have net seep, avd by making them known would add to the list already commenecd by Mr. D. Urbaix in The Natoralist, Vol. LI, page 138. It was this article that made me add my coutributivns to the list." When it is considered that at the time young Venoor compiled this article, he was only iv the 20th year of his age, and but sixteen when he began the observations embodied therein, the subject-matter of his first literary work was to him a very credible one, and showed the early teudeucy of his misd and tho progress of his attaiuments. In Volume VI. of the Canadian Nat- uralist, still Oe by Mr. E. Billings, ubtiehed » samber of there articles on the subject of Canadian avi- fauvian life, all of which are interest- ing, aud furnished further knowledge of the science to young Venaor, as well as to all other readers who were inter- ested ia the study of the life-history of Canadian birds, But the article in this volume that is most interesting to the present subject was one by Mr. Veuoor himself, ov "fbe Sylviadse, or Wood Warblers, found iy the vicivity of Mon- treal." 'bis article manifested deep thought, and much research on the ~part of the author, yet it is evident that the information jm parted waa de- rived more from the writings of Audu- bon und Wilson than as the resnlt of * bis own observation ; and some of bis species described have proved erroneous ; yet as & siedons avd a writer on a science affecting Can- adian Natural History, Heury G. Ven- bor bow comes prominently before the naturalicts of Montreal, and hereafter Cavadian Ornithology. on the Warblers, there is described some twelve species of this family an being noted in the vicinity of Montreal, aud the introduction to this treatise is very iuterestiug ; but it 18 not our pur- . pose to further review that matter here. Among tbe papers op Canadian birds, publisbed io the sixth volume of the Cauadian Naturalist, there is an iuter- esting one by Dr. Henry Bryant, en titled "Remarks~ov some of the Birds that breed in the Guif of St. Lawrence." This paper had previously been pub lished in "The Proceedings of the Bosten Natural History Society,' * vol 8. In this paper the nesting habits of some thirteen species of birds are de- scribed in av ioterestivg manner. In the introduction Mr, Bryant says, '*The trip made by me to Labrador the past season, (1860.) for the purpose of pro- curing specimens of the eggs of those sea-birds that breed there, and also to ascertain what changes, if avy, had taken place in their economy eince Audubor's visit, was uufortunately de- layed till the 21st of June, so that the result was much less satisfactory thao I had boped to obtain. Instead of vis- iting Anticosti, and the whole of the north shore, I was compciled to 6ail direct to the bird rocks, thence to Romain, the nearest point on the north shore, from whence following the shore line to Chotean Bean, at the outlet of the Straits of Belle Iele, the furthest point reach 6 was re- markably stormy apd cold, andi was informed by everyone that sach an io- clement season had not been kuown for many years. This. aleo delayed my progress, added much to the difficulties of my researches, as many of the breed- ing places of this clases of birds are. only accessible in pleasant weather. We sailed from Gaspe on the 2ist of June, and it was the morning of the -- when we arrived at the bird roc i. the sixth volume of the Canadian 'Naturalist there is also publiched a -catalogue of the birds collected round akes Huron and Superior, in the sea- Bell, of the logical Sarvey of Canada. This list is arranged acoording to the Lin- Deo system of classification, the birds d frst. of prey being recorde - 4 At the annual meeting of the Natural | Society of Montreal, held Mey 8th, 1861, Mr. Vennor presented a paper on "The Birds found wintering in and around Montreal." en most people are aware of. In the issne of the Canadian Journal, published for July, 1860, at Toronto, there is a jist of the birds observed in and arouid Hamilton, by Mr. Thomas Mollwraith, of that city. 1 cae list iu- cludes 200 species of Canadian birds, and is arranged accotding o wah was then the latest American classification. Mr. MolIlwraith was a native of Scot- land, but had -- in Canada for many y had previously con- tributed seh "oe tho birds of Can- ada to publications in the United States, but this is the firat time that we notice him as a writer on the Oana- dian avifaunain the pages of a Cana- dian publication. He bas since become well known among the naturalists of America, as the author of "The Birds of Ontario," of which there are two editions, aud also as one of the fuund- ie of the American Ornithological nio: The firet list of the birds of Hamil- ton' and vicinity was read by young Venpor, and in his papers on the birds of Montreal he seems to follow the classification of Mr. MoIlwraith, rather than that of earlier American authors hese students of bird-life afterwards corresponded, and M MclIlwraith gave Mr. Vennorassistance on the subject matter of his great work, "Our Birds of Prey," which is acknowledged in the introduction to that book, In the sixth volume of the Canadian Nat- uralist there is also published an inter- esting and iustructive pape? on the Swane ao ese Observed in the re- gion of the Hudson Bay, by Mr. Geo. Barnstone, a member of the Hudson Bay Company. CARTHAGE.

A sister of the Biddles arrived . in town this evening sud was admitted to the jail, but Ed, was unable to recog- nize her. WHAT ED, SAID. Both of the Biddles were talkative this morning, but both disclaimed ever having killed any one. The Kahney murder, Ed, alleged, was committe by Walter Dorman, assisted bya man who had that day come from Chicago, avd the Zebers woman, who put oa a mau's suit. 'This, Ed esid, she had dune often before when she had as- sisted them in their robberies. He admitted having committed a gr mavy robberies. but stoutly ma tained that he had never killed any- e. Doctors Greer and Bricker, who have been attending the two Biddles, made a report this morving that ep- parently contirms Jack Biddie's story that the fugitises had tried to kill themselves.

As there is nothing to hold Mrs, Soffel asa prisoner, the district at- torney here will prefer charges againet her of felonious assualt and battery, and of aidivg and assisting a prisoner to escape from a place of confinement The Pittsburg police declare the devials of the Biddles that.they maur- dered Grocer Kahney and Detective Fitzgerald to be absurd. The evidence against them, the officials assert, was conclusive. The Smallpox. nis. Over Six Hundred Cases in Ontario the Past Montk.
