Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., December 1.—Wild geese, robins and bees have been staging unusual performances in and around Hagerstown in the last two days. A nest of robins was found late yesterday in a tree on the grounds of the Washington County Hospital, which s declared by citizens to be the most extraordinary freak of nature ever witnessed by them. Robins are supposed to be below the cold weather line at this time of the year, but ap- parently have been fooled by the Sum- mer-like temperature which had the bees out gathering nectar from the blossoming trees yesterday. The mer- cury dropped 20 degrees during the night and is around 40 today. Wild geese hurrying southward met with a dense fog early this morning, just north of here and their journey was broken up. Peter Bowers of Greencastle reported that a blinded voyager of the skies crashed into his house with such force as to stir him trom his bed. Running out into the vard he found a wild goose struggling on the ground. With a broom he dis- patched the bird and neighbors are dining with him today.
