The Guardian Owl.

A number of gentlemen and ladies were sitting in the parlor of one of the hotels in Jacksonville, when a huge object crashed through the window and thumped down into one corner of the. room. It was dark in the room, and speculation as to what the object was had not developed into certainty before a huge owl arose from the corner and commenced to flap around the room. He was captured and stuffed, and now occupies a perch over the cashier’s desk with his head screwed around so that he can keep one eye on the cashier’s till and the other on the repoiters who come around for items.— Jacksonville {Fla.)
