Two Robbins Reported But Evidently Here by an Egregious Error.

Two robbin redbreasts were seen this morning by W. J. Wright, the undertaker. They were in a cedar tree by his home on River street and seemed to be as happy as these very conjugal birds are in the early spring, chirping the love notes and acting very much as' though they were discussing the specifications for a cottage home .and rejoicing the early prospects of raising a family. j They were In serious error, however, and were evidently with greater fervency than wisdom.
