A Smart Crow. AlMMit a year ago, Gotten Day told

of a smart talking crow, named Mary,

that live at German town. Pa. isow

comes news of another crow with an

education. Thk latter crow was found in the woods near PJainville, Conn., when it was a mere nestling. At that time one of it wings and one of its legs were broken, so that U oouid hardly get along. Even now it moves with awkward flops, for it wing has never regained its strength. From Plainvilk this crow waa taken to- Unlonville, where lives Mr Frederick Hart, and the lame bird became that lady's feathered friend. It is not a house pet, but lives in apkie tree in .the front yanl, winter aaweli as summer;, Whenever it sees a dog. it runs to tlie tree, hoarsely crying: "Mother, here's adogl" As for cats, kk not afraid of them, but pulls their toils at every opportunity. It was in the habit of whipping all the nhlnkans of the neighborhood, until one

day a big Shanghai rooster thrashed it within an mch of its life- -Well, well,

that waa a oyclone," says- the
