A R KKKKK &ILE SHOT-A BC11:8-EYE AND •
SLACCIIIRD.—• day or two ago, • few of the corps b..
longing to the 2nd Bait York Artillery Volantcers am.
gambled az their shooting grouted, at Cary Naze Point,
Fairy, for the purpose of practice. After making good
firing at the target at 100 and 200 yards range, they fell
hack to the 300 yards range. when Bombardier Long,
of Filey (who bas previously made several dazzling exploits),
accomplished a feat which is perhaps! without a parallel.
After stepping forward, and whilst put on the point of
brim at target, a splendid blacicbird, U0C.011600111 of
danger, ventured to fly across the rings, when he took aim
and fired. The ballet from his well•pointed carbine struck
the bead of the bird, causing inatantsureous death, and
proceeding onward in it. course hit the target, making a
bull's eye. The "songster" was immediately picked up
and carefully carried home by the "hero," where it now
lies previous to being stuffed, when it will be placed in a
glass case. It le suggested that an inscription sh3uld h.
hung round the bird's head, stating that the marksman
" with one shot, at 300 yard. range, killed a blackbird and
made a Mae ape—York Flerald.
DEATH OF • " LORD OF THE FOREST, "—Goer.
barrow Park has lost its kis& and the adjoining fells tb•
stag that for about half a score years has proudly held sway
over the herds that take up their quarters on the heights
about Martindale. He was a noble fellow—sme of the
largest animals ever sees is this part of the coustry, sad •
dangerous enemy to say of its bled with temerity enough to
dispute his ropes-rarity. Bet whet iegtehruedel sone dumb
attempt, overwhelming Dumber. have accomplished. Like
that of many other despots, his reign became obnoxious to
his subjects. A short time ago they rebelled, and eureka'
him in force • ha fought • 'obis fight, bet his enemies were
numerous, sad.ventsslly he fell pierced by many wounds.
His weight was immerses, and his head and antlers and-
derably larger than any animal of the kind ever wee in this
part of the seostrf.—Pairigh paper.
