BLACK GAME IN THE LAKE DitrritlCT.—Five or
six Te..-in ago some of these birds appeared rather mysteri-

equal to any ever brought from Rontland._ The Green
Mows, belonging to Mr. Sandle, has a brood or two ; the
Deleritle Fell, belonging to B. Harrison, Esq., two or three
broods; flawkshead Moor contains a few, and the hills in
Chat have tome also. With a little care they may become
as mouse.—Westmoreland Gantt*.
