DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1874. Twm P«|^n tor TkrM tollaw. We bate entered into an arrangement to club with the Ifrion Springe (Alabama) II?rald on the following terms : Week It Euuuirer and Union Springs Herald <*> Sunday Enquirer aud Union Springs Herald .... » 00 The Union Springs Herald is acknowl edged to be the leadiug week’y paper pub lished in Alabarat; and, in addition to furnishing the news from Bullock county aud vicinity, coutaius choice mUcella* neons reading ma-ter and on ably con ducted ogiicultural depaitiueut. The Emolish Sparrow Pest.—The Eng lish sparrow will doubtless tiud Lis way South in time. Those who propose to take measures to introduce him at once, as a cotton worm destroyer, should read the following letter from Mr. John H. Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y., read before the New York Farmers’ Club: 4 'Can yon inform me what can be done with the ‘cusaedset’ of all 'ensued' birds— the English sparrow! It picks off my peas as soon aa they ootue oat of the ground, also my lettuce, raddishes, etc., aud almost every green thing that grows in the garden. It also destroys the peach and pin in bnda, the strawberries and every thing else that comes in its way. It is al together the mod unmitigated pest with which I ever had to contend. In England there is a premium allowed for every one hundred killed. Iu Germany every far mer is obliged to destroy sixty of these birds every year, and there is a peualty rigidly enforced for failing to show the heads of sixty of these animals to the nearest magistrate. Some method for their destruction will need to be soon adopted here. Can the Farmers' Club suggest whet it shall be, as it is my firm belief that the person who first suggested the idea of importing these birds should be doomed to au everlasting itching, with out the benefit of scratching." ** —Tho French War Offioe, according to the Iron, has worked ont the statistics of wff lhe question of the elfeot on losses in bit- ™ tie of improved fire arms, and the follow ing are some of the results: At the battle of Friedland the Frenoh lost 14 per cont. and the Russians BO per cent, of their troops, and st Wagratn the Frenoh lost IB i percent, and the Austrians 14 percent. At Moscow tbs French lost SB per cent, aud the Russians 44 per cent. Again, at Waterloo the French lost 3(5 per ceut. and the allies 30 per cent, of their forces en gaged. Forty years later, when the new . weapons were employed, the loss of the French at Magenta was 7 per cent., that of the Austrians the same. At Solferino the Frenoh and Sardinians suffered a loss of 10 per cent, and the Austrians of only r 8 per cent. Washoe Pastime. ■ A number of gross widowers r and baohelors of this city have f? formed a bean association, aud j> weekly festivals are held at the residences of the various members. The last festi val was held at the house of a gentleman whose better-half is absent in California, John Dennis officiating. At the conclu sion of the festival the tea-kettle lay on . the bed in the best bedroom, the pot in p which the beans were cooked lay on its S', side on the parlor carpet, the knives, forks, and spoons were distributed among the spittoons in the sitting rooms, the t by r s crib was covered with dirty tin •lates, and the sewing-maohine was dis- ' ;ure with chunks of dough, splashes of an soup, aud the akina of Chili peppers, ice the organization of the society ire has been an effort to elect a dish- iher, but each gentleman nominated i declined the honor on the plea of er and more important business. The £ Ifeganization is known aa the free aud in- dspendent grass widowers’ bean-eating * b*ne.— Austin Reveille. —The following testimony to the virtue tent manure was received by its : “Dear Sir—'The land composing m has hitherto been so poor that a \n could not get a living off it, stony that we had to slice our po und plant them edgeways ; but of your manure, I put some on a field surrounded by a rail fence, ie morning I found the fenoe had disappeared, a neat stone wall I the field, and the rails were split rood and piled up systematically tok-vard."
