A bellbird has been heard at Avoca recently, according to a resident of the valley, Mr J. D. Holland. One was heard at St. Albans some time ago; but this is the first time in recent years that the bird has been heard in the Heathcote district. It sang for nearly an hour from a wattle tree at the side of the road in the warm morning sunshine, and a peculiarity noted at the time was that other birds, which had been making an incessant twittering, remained silent while the bellbird was in song.
Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, For Coughs and Colds, never fails. ♦
