Itesoliitionsof Respect.

- ening, the following preamble and
God to remove from our midst our
dearly beloved brother, J. Dunham
Lee, who was a most zealous member
of our Union; and, whereas, it is meet
and proper that we should pay this
last sad tribute of respect to our de
parted bi other; therefore,
Rt solved, That while we bow in
umble submission to the will of Him
who doetb all things well, we cannot
but feel the loss of our faithful co
worker, who was ever for the ad
vancement of the interests of the
Union.
Resolved, That though we stand al
most in sight of his last resting place
in the city of the dead, still we are
constrained to say, "He is not dead,
but sleepeth;" and as we look to the
great beyond, the "home of just men
made perfect," we know our loss is
his eternal gain.
Resolved, That whilst we would not
trespass upon the sacredness of do
mestic affliction, yet we can but ask
the privilege of mingling our tears in
common with those of his bereaved
family, and of assuring them of our
heartfelt sympatny in tms tneir nour
of affliction.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon a page in our minute
book and a copy be sent to the family
of our deceased brother.

How to Keep Birds.
The following wise suggestions are
given by Mr. A. Dughi, Raleigh's
cird fancier: i
To keep any kind of birds in good
health and song.it is absolutely neces-
sary that they be attended to with
every care and fed with the best of
food. There are many bird dealers
A BIT 0' HISTORY.
Captain Marr, of the Warren ton
Itiih'M, Said to be the First
Man Killed During
the War.
There has been much diversity of
opinion iu relation to the matter of
who wa the first man killed in bat
tle during the. Ie war between the
States.
In General Bonhatn's report of the
attack of the enemy's cava'ry on
Fairf.-ix court house, on June 1st,
1801, he give s the following list of the
j killed, towit: Killed. Captain Marr;
wounded, Lieut Col. Ewell; missing,
j (taken prisoner?) five. One of the
enemy known to have boeu killed.
This report was made June 2, 13G1.
Col. Ewell made his report to Col.
Thomas Jordan, dated June 1st, 1861,
the following being the part of his
report iu reference to the killed and
wounded. Captain Marr, of the War
renton Rifles, has been found dead
near his. company's quarters, having
been shot by a detachment of the en
emy. 1 recaived a flesh wound in the
shoulder from a bullet, &c.
In another report, of the same date,
in giving a more detailed statement
of the action, he says, iu reference to
Captain Marr:
"Captain Marr was found shot
through the heart a short distance
from the field. I understand he had
started, with a portion of his com
pany, toward the enemy and was in
tercepted by their pickets."
The above seems to settle the con
troversy as to WHO WAS THE FIRST
MAN KILLED IN ACTION in the war
between the Union and Confederate
forces in the late unpleasantness.
These extracts were taken from the
official reports of the Union and Con
federate armies.

and fanciers who feed their canaries
with millet seed, hemp and canary
seed, and after a while wonder them
selves why the birds are getting sick
and stop singing. They don't know
that this is the result of improper
feeding. Millet is the worst seed for
cannries, as it makes the bird's skin
dry and the feathers loose so the bird
is always shedding feathers. Hemp
makes the bird too fat and prevents
it from singing. Most of the bird
owners use this kind of seed bewnse
it is a few cents cheaper, not thinking
that every bird gets spoiled if fed that
way. Afterwards if the birds die peo
ple blame the party whom they
bought the birds from. To prevent
this, and toprotect my customers'as
well as my own interest, I will state
my way of feeding birds, acquired by
twenty five years' experience, and
i which always proved satisfactory.
Well knowing that the cheap and bad
seed is always the most expensive, I
use only the best seed to be had. I
give my canaries nothing but the
best German Rape Seed, mixed in
with Sicily canary seed (two parts
rape and only one part canary.)
Only once a week they get
hard boiled eggs mixed with Zwie
back. There is a powder in the mar
ket, the Kamfmueller Canary Pow
der, which is found to be the best
medicine for sick birds, and if given
to healthy birds it prevents them
from getting costive, which latter
sickness is the cause of many a bird s
death. My canaries get this powder
twice a week each bird half a tea -spoonful
on top of the seed. By feed
ing your birds in the above mention
ed way. and keeping them out of the
draft, you will hardly lose one bird.
