UNIQUE BIRD LECTURES. 

 Mr. Horace Taylor, of the Brookline Bird Club, well known for his

 "The Mystery of Bird Evolution," on Thursday, March 28, at 3 P. M. ; the 

 second will be on "The Life and Song of Native Birds," Thursday, April 4,

 as the low price of admission, should insure him a large audience.
