Eliz. Willson asked if there was not

of the Passenger Pigeon which used to
pass over S. S. in enormous flocks every year.
Now the Gov. is trying, in vain. to secure a

to save them and her fine Potomac shad, her
legislature must become busy in law-making

enjoying to-day.

Eliz Willson nearly broke up our

many admirers and their flattering remarks
upon her comeliness.
