Finished tiling the new parlor in good dry condition just before the rain came.  The wall & timbers will be in much better order for this circumstance.  * The pair of martins brought-out all their young August 26: they still roost in the nest.  The nest was begun June 21.  Woolmer-forest produces young teals, & young large snipes; but never, that we can find, any young jack-snipes.
