sea
comrades that he was seriously ill, and two medical gentle-

A STAG IN A TowN.—The residents in the
neighbourhood of Hanover-rand, Tunbridge Wells, were, on
Tuesday afternoon, taken considerably by surprise by the
appearance of a hoe stag, which had rushed amonnggsst them
from the direction of the Common, and was g over
their garden fences with as much freedom as if it bad been
startled in its native forest. A few moments afterwards
a pack of hounds—es fine and gallant a pack as the most de-
voted hunter would wish to follow—came up from the some
direction io hot pursuit, and before the spectators had over-
come their first surprise, the appearance of huntsmen put it
beyond a doubt that a stag hunt was in progress. And here,
too, it was finished, for the animal was captured almost as
soon aa it was seen, not, indeed, by the hounds in pursuit of
it, but by men who happened to see its approach, and at
ones detected its hiding place. The @tag had endeavoured
to evade a capture by concealment, and in its impetuous
course it had rushed into a retreat, not often the resort of
quadrupeds, and in which the most ardent solitaire would
scarcely linger. The animal was adroitly taken, and found
more comfortable quarters at the George Hotel.—Maid-
stone Journal.
