Old Parrot Died After Illness of Several Weeks.

Polly, a beautiful parrot that for the past fifteen years had been owned by, Mr. and Mrs. John Bger, died Friday. He bad been falling for several weeks and nothing could be done to relieve him. Polly was purchased fifteen years ago from A. W. Cleveland, and was a very intelligent bird of handsome plumage. He used a number of words which he pronounced distinctly. He is believed to have been at least 45 years old.
