A correspondent in Morayshire says: —" I have never seen so many deaths among _grouse in any former year, and I have no doubt that it will take a few years to get clear of the disease—it will linger loss or more for two or three years." Another correspondent writes us his opinion at great length from Ballater. The following is an abridg ment of what he says —" The disease appeared about the beginnig of July last season, but few birds compara tively speaking were affected by it till the April of the pre sent year, and from that time till June the deaths came thick and fast. When the mortality first began I f and the birds in good condition, but after a little time they became poor in flesh. The disease was similar to what we had seven years ago, and occurred about the same time of year. The diseased birds are almost always collected about springs, rivulets, and water-sides. In a time of disease the birds do not hatch so well as usual. The stomachs of the dead birds are full of tapeworm, and the heart and liver discoloured. More cocks than hens have died." The following letter, which is printed in full, is from a person who is, and has been for a period of 18 years, head keeper on extensive moors in Aberdeen and Banff shires. It was written two months ago:—" the disease appeared first early in January, and carried off a good many birds, but not more than we lost in the spring of 1866. In the end of January the weather became mild, and continued so throughout February, and during that period we had scarcelyany disease. The month of March was very stormy, the depth of snow preventing the birds getting at the heather. They then nearly all left the high ground, and on their return early in April, when some 1 , patches of heather began to appear, the disease set in again with great virulence, and continued until the moors were nearly cleared of birds. The consequence is that on all our higher beats not a young bird has been seen this season, so far as I know or can learn from the shepherds. There are a few old barren birds to be seen on the high ground only. On the lower beats a few did nest, but they were affected by the disease. Some hens were found dead close to the nest, and a few were found dead on the eggs. In general the birds found dead were in good condition and in fine plumage. I cut open many birds. In some I found tapeworm to a greater or lesser extent. The greatest number of tapeworms I found in one bird was 23, and the worms being from 14 to 20 inches in length, and all side by side in ono part of the intestines, filled the gut to such an extent that I thought it impossible that anything could pass down. This bird I got before it was quite dead. It was a hen bird, and not at all lean. There were about a dozen eggs in her, well formed, the largest of them about the size of a small pea. Her plumage was beautiful. Other birds I have opened in which I found no tapeworm, but in every bird I opened I found the liver diseased. At the commencement of the disease the birds found dead were principally cocks ; sub sequently they were nearly all hens. Taking it from first to last, I believe we lost about an equal number of both sexes. In the disease of former years the birds were in variably found dead along water courses, but this year we found them over all the ground, and in most cases as if they had died without a struggle, the birds being in a roosting position, and always with empty crops. lam far from thinking that tapeworm is the sole cause of the disease, although it is very likely that the worm, when in large numbers, may accelerate death in otherwise weakly birds. Tapeworm is very common in August, even in the very best birds killed. I cannot assign a cause for the disease in grouse, nor do I think that any one has yet dis covered the real cause of it; one thing certain is, that it always succeeds a year when grouse are very plentiful, as they were last season. I have been head keeper here for the last 18 years. I have in that time seen as severe winters as the last was, and I have seen the heather in as bad condition, and no disease, but I never saw so many birds on the ground as we had last year ; but disease attacked the birds the following spring, and this is the fourth time I have seen these moors cleared of birds from disease. The following aro the years in which it proved, most fatal :<-1848, 1855, 1861, and 1867, and I have no doubt but that we Shall have it again in 1873 or 1874." We might quote from numerous other letters, but they lead to no conclusion except the general one we had our selves arrived at a few months ago—viz., that whatever the disease may be, and however caused, it is extensively spread, and has been very fatal. All our correspondents agree on one point, and that is, that the disease began last year, but was neglected, or at least not thought to be of so much importance as to demand immediate attention, which (s to be regretted. If the birds were weakened by slight disease in the spring of 1866, and then subjected to a hard autumn's shooting, it was not likely they would be in good condition to endure the severe winter and spring which ushered in the present year. It was about the latter end of February and beginning of March, as one of our cor respondents observes, that " the birds began to die literally in hundreds, the moors being sprinkled with them." Some correspondents of the sporting prints have contended that the solo cause of death is tapeworm, but many of the gentlemen who have communicated with us think it is due to liver complaint, and from the descriptions of the dead birds given by some of them we cannot help arriving at the conclusion that they must have imbibed poison from their food. Our Glonlivat correspondent says :—" The livers of all the birds I opened were very diseased, and crumbled away on being touched ; the lungs of a great number of the grouse were also affected, and their bowels in many cases were dreadfully inflamed." Another writer tells us that " the cause of death appears to be partly tape worm, but in eight cases out of ten the liver seems to be much diseased, and becomes rotten immediately after death. The birds generally show very little appearance of disease before death, which, I believe, takes place sud denly, or in a short time, as they have been seen to drop while upon the wing and expire in a moment, as if shot." The symptoms pointed out by our correspondents seem to denote poison as the cause of death, and the fact of the majority of the dead birds having been found near the watercourses tends to strengthen this impression. if the birds are poisoned, then, what is the nature of the poison ? "It is atmospheric," says one of the learned controver sialists. "It is load poison," says another. "They are not poisoned; they burst themselves with the young heather," says a third. "No, they don't," exclaims a fourth, "it is the sheep that are the cause of the mor tality." "You are all wrong together," says a fifth dis putant ; "the cause of the grouse disease is that the moors are overstocked with grouse!" Each disputant, too, can prove his case at least to his own satisfaction. Fortified with his array of facts the advocate of lead poisoning will not be put down ; it is of no importance to him that the same facts are made to serve to support a totally different theory. In grouse disease, as in everything else, many men have many minds; and every man, as is natural, asserts his own idea as the only true ono. But in the end we believe our opinion will prevail, and we feel certain that the particular kind of poison that has ca used the pr . e l - 1 sent calamity will yet be disc overed. Another point will also come to be better studied than it has hitherto beters en, and that is how far the destru ction caused by the shoo affects the general health of the birds. It stands toorveear: son, we think, that if a moor is industriously shot there will be many wounded birds left, and the ngraonudsedtohgast. escape will be nearly frightened to death by If so, it is only reasonable to believe that he s ca uc f e a h tu b r a o d b s r t o o o c l d c will yield bad progeny, and so weaken t theory was se stock of the moors.

Lords Brancepeth, Cairns , Colonsay, liartismere, Hylton, The terrific thunderstorm which broke over this part of the country early on Tuesday morning has left traces of its violence. About half-an-hour after the commencement of the storm the farm-house of Mr. James Ward, which is s it u ate on the top of the hill at Dalton Parva, near Rotherham, was struck by lightning and considerably damaged, while the furniture in two of the rooms was almost entirely destroyed. The lightning first caught the chimney of the south en d of the building, breaking two of the pots and cracking the tiles iu every directio n. The noise of the falling rubbish awakened Mr. Ward, and also h is nei g hbours. lie, however had , not the slightest idea of the extent of the calamity. On entering the front bedrooom, which, owing to Miss Ward being from home, was unoccupied, Mr. IVard was amazed at *the sight w hi c h presented itself. The carpet was torn, and several articles of furniture broken and rendered useless. The electric fluid appeared to have descended the chimney and forced the fire-place completely out of its setting. It had also knocked a hole through the chimney on the south-east side, and striking an iron curtain rod, which by chance happened to be standing in the corner, it acted as a conductor to the lower room. Both ends of the rod were burnt as though d they had been in a smith's fire, the skirting boar was charred, and several yards of the papering were t o rn from the walls. Every pane of glass in the south window was broken, a chair was projected to the opposite side of the room, the top being knocked off, and the wash-basin was smashed into a hundred pieces ; but, strange to say, the dressing table on which it stood was uninjured. The hearth-stone was cracked across, but though a camp bedstead and a child's cot stood within a few inches they were not tou ched. The lowe r room—the drawing room— fared still worse. hardly agle sin article escapedhe d es t ru ction. After striking the iron chamber above the lightning again descended the chimney, making half a dozen holes in the south east wall, causing it to have the appearance of so many rifle bullets being shot through. A half-re gister stove was displaced, and the fluid had played around the steel fireirons, the boards of the floor being charred, the carpet burnt ; asrnall The coveed with one red M oroc co leather split a cross.

Close to the chimney corner was a small mahogany table on which were placed a number of books. This table was broken a 3 though it had been prepared for firewoo I, and the books were thrown into every corner of the room, the greater portio n bein g torn as by t h e teeth of ra ts.

Mr. Ward with th e west end of the building, w hile the housekeep er occupied one on the north side and a ma,n-servant the other at the north-east corner. All of them were greatly alarmed at the terrific force with which the storm raged, and it is well for their peace of mind that they knew not until the thunder had abated what a nartid row es cape from destruction they had.—Sheflield Daily lelegraph.
