 ural history implements, cases, Indian

 They will produce satisfactory re- 

 cults. 



Frank H. Lattin 



An envelope bearing this return 

 card- "Assembly Cliamber State of 

 New York, Albany, Frank H. Lattin, 

 Albion, N. Y." reaches our desk and 

 we wonder whether or not our old 

 friend Lattin has been elected, selec- 

 ted or condemned to serve as a mem- 

 ber of the New York Legislature, If 

 so, he should have advised his old 

 bird friends long ago, that they might 

 condole with him upon the great mis- 

 fortune of falling from the high es- 

 tate of a bird's egg collector into the 

 commonplace position of a legislator 

 for the Empire State of New York. 



Albino Robin 



P. A. W. Dean of Alliance, Oliio, re- 

 ports collecting a nearly white Robin 

 with a spotted breast and white head, 

 the back being black, tlie wings white. 

 This would make a very nice speci- 

 men to mount.
