Lrst Friday, a bird-bawk, in passing over town, saooped down at a bevy of English spaarow that were feeding in tue street, at the corner of .Main and Bridge streets. The nin 14 Utile birds were too quick for the hawk and scattered. One liitle lellow near est the hawk curved around the glass cor ner ol ike Beliord building. The pursuing bird was not acquainted in that locality, knew nothing ol the glass corner, ahicb to its eye seemed like open space, concluded to Uke the short cut on the little bird that was descrihirg s. nice a curve in front of his hawk.sbip. The hawk directed its course straight across the corner and en countered the outside glass with such force that it passed through to the inside by a bole of its own making, only several times larger than its own body, aud then dropped dead to the music ot quivering wiudow aud falling glass.

The third annual meeting of the Literary Societies of the County was held in the hall of Airy View Acade my, Port Royal, Jan. 30th and 31st The convention was called to order at 7 P. M. by Mr. E. A. Tennis, Pres ident, who made the following appro priate remarks : " The Literary So cieties are assembled this evening in the capacity ot a literary convention for the third time in the history of Juniata county. The necessity for these conventions originated from the rapid increase of the Literary work in our county, and the apparent ben efit that would result from a more thorough organization of our forces, and thus by a united effort promote the interest of our several societies and advance the cause of education. The people of Juniata county have long stood in the need of educational advantages to be derived from the or ganization of Literary societies, and I am glad to-night to attest of the spirit of advancement, and the uni versal favor with which our elTarts have been thus far characterized. We hope to be able ere the close of this convention to impress upon newly organized societies more deeply the desire for literary attainment, and to awaken in the breast of every inhabi tant of our county a thirst tor literary improvement in elocution, composi tion, debate, and a general enlarge ment of their intelligence. These objects can be attained by the hearty co-operation of all lovers of educa tion, and we extend the invitation to-night. The good results of these Conventions are already apparent citizens all over the county attest their usefulness, and are to-night to add their testimony and assist in ma king this convention the most profit able and interesting yet held. There is no good reaton why there should not 1ms a literary society in every school house ill the county. AVe h ive the time, the talent, and the maner, and all that is needed is a little en ergy on the pnrt of our Sehojl Di rectors and teachers and they will be able to set a literary ball rolling that will not cease to revolve until every inhabitant of their township besonies a shining star in the literary world, and who.se existence is due entirely to the spark of knowledge first kin dled in the literary society. With the opening cx.ercise3 of this conven tion my duties as President closes. I cherish the warmest feeling for the officers of the different societies throughout the cannty, and thank you for the m tuner in which you dis charged your duties while unler ray care, and I hope that my successor in office will be the recipient of the same kind attention, and that you will make rapid progress towards perfection under liis leadership." Upon motion of Wellington Smith the election for officers for ensuing year was held over until the clone of the convention. Two day and two evening sessions were held. The at tendance of members and spectators was large ; the exercises interesting and conducted in an appropriate m in ner. The Hall was suitably arranged for the occasion by the Port Royal Society. Every possible aid was ren dered by Prof. David Wilson. Four teen societies were represented by upwards of one hundred delegates. ! A literary organization exists in every township of the county but one; while in one, Walker, there are three. The Delaware Literary of Thompson town is the oldest ami, without doubt, the model in the county. Origmal Orations were delivered by S. 31. Tnrbett, J. H. Carney, Wellington Smith, J. T.

The original productions were high ly creditable to the convention and to them that produced them The read ings and declamations were equally meritorious, as all can testify that listened to them. No detailed account can be given for want of room. Ma ny good things could be s;ud right here. It is apparent that the talent of the youthful mind is being rapidly developed and prepared for the storms of life. Let parents and friends of education rejoice. Excellent Vo cal Music was furnished by the Red Bank and Port Royal Societies, and instrumental by the Port Royal band. Miss Dollie Oles, of Red Rock, will be long remembered for the many songs she so promptly sang for the convention. Prof. J. M G arm tn de livered a very suitable address on the manner of conducting literary socie ties and conventions. Prof. David Wilson, also, spoke of the origin and benefits of the same. T. D. Carman of the dignity that should character ize such bodies. The reading of the Centerville Echo by the Editress, Miss Hulda Tyson, waa pronounced highly creditable. The Spruce Hill Recorder by S. A. Graham, was also very good. So waa the paper read by Miss Sue Esh. But the Delaware Literary Review, by N. S. Henklea, the Editor, was unique ; a combina tion of every thing that" is glorious" and good. An extempore debate proved interesting. The resoitition was " That an order of nobility would be beneficial in the United States." On the affirmative were Wellington Smith and S. IL Tiego; negative, Edwin Davis and JohnH. Smith. It was suitably closed by Prof. David Wilson. The following Executive Commit tee was appointed for tbe following year : Dr. J. A. Grubb, Delaware Lit erory Society; Annie Adams, Red Rock ; J. F. Work, East Waterford ; S. IL Trego, Spruce Hill; Geo. King, East Salem ; Hulda Tyson, Center ville ; Shelbm n Kepner, Olive Branch; J. S. Tuibett, Red Rock ; J. 3f.

With the exception of Tuesday evening, the older was good. Tue Halls of the Academy, fuel, Sic, were given fiee of cliarge. An Oigun was also famished for the occasion by 3Iiss Beckie Snyder. For all these favors votes of tiianks we.e tendered. In the ubsince of full min utes the bbove report is partially made from memory. All omissions and er rors ate therefore excused. Without speaking disparagingly of the preceding conventions this will bear the palm of success, and it is hoped that the g.x.d woi k will move on in teguiar cliaiux uutii un eiuinence of Roman Cioquc-nce is readied.
