Mrs. Chas. Goss, who recently had erected and moved into a very commodious house in Remington, noticed a fluttering noise in the* chimney and when they undertook to build a fire to warm the house up in the evening the stove would not draw. A thimble was taken out of the upstairs 100 m and some fifteen swallows took advantage of this mean of escape. The next morning the fire refused to draw and when the fine holes in the sitting roonrand parlor were opened half suffocated birds began falling and flying out in great numbers. Soot was carried all-over the rooms the carpets and wall paper being practically rained. ' After the chimney had been entirely cleaned out a count of the swallows began land it was found there were 317. Had the fire not been started it is quite probable the swallows would simply have been sheltered in the chimney over night and have gone elsewhere the next morning. As it was, the smoke had killed most of them and so bewildered them that they could not find their way out.
