Pm:wee:Ml IN Pi:AMISH:RR—Ow corms-
pendent sends us the following intelligence :—We have had
a very propitious Beeson for all kinds of gains' and we had
never better prospects for the "Twelfth." The brooding
season has been moat favourable for all kink,
and an abundance of them is confidently anti-
cipated. So far as I have been able to I
no disease has been discovered among the grouse. At
the oommeneement of the hatching, the old birds
looked strong and healthy, and were numerous. Those of
the nests seen were well filled with eggs, and since they
have been hatched the young broods are spirited and nume-
rous. Just now, in traversing the moors, it is not rare to
see coveys of a dozen bird*, some of them pretty strong on
the wing already. all having the appearance et being is
the most healthy condition. It is expected that if the
weather continues favourable for a short time to
until the young birds get a little stronger, there en
be above an average stock for the sportsman. Last
year the young broods suffered great de traction from the
deluge of rain in Juoe, but unless there now comes an extra-
ordinary fall of rain, many of the young lards will be heyeed
danger. All other kinds of game are to be plenty. Partndtes
are to be very abundant. A dry season like this is always
favourable for them, and keepers state that they Lel their
nests unusually full or e—s. Those who have hatched Lave
not, so far as noticed, a blank egg in their neste.
Pheasants' nests are also well filled containing gems-
rally from a dozen to fifteen eggs. There appear to be
above an average abucdance of woodcock, blackcock, lures,
snipes, and wild duck. The espermillie are begiouing to
spread through this country, and keepers are particuiarly
careful of their nests. It is a foreign bird. and only of recent
introduction into this country. It is very large, nearly ea
large as a turkey hen, and very heavy. It has a tail, and as
plumage is of a beautiful brownish colour. It is a
tame bird, especially while hatching. It frequents.
generally, the closest part of the cover, and its food es
derived from the branches of larch, fir, and spruce trees.
Its hatching seasoa i. now about finished. The eggs Sr. as
large as a duck's, and spotted. Its nest is very open, just
on the fiat ground. It lays from eight to ten eggs, and the
nests generally contain that number this year, being more
than usual. They are fond of laying in close proximity to
one another. I know a cover of several miles extent. which
contains only two pairs, and the nests were within four
yards of one another. Foch neat had eight eggs, and birds
have come from every one of them.—Edintargh Courant.
FRIGHTFUL AIX:WM.4T FROM A GRINDSTONE AT
Sigemet.n. - Yesterday a most appalling accident occurred
at the grinding-wheel of Mr. Thomas Jowitt, lloyds Work,
Atterchife road, near Sheffield, by which a single young
man, named Henry Swift, who resided with his parents ia
Steniforth•lane, Sheffield Park, lost his life. The accident
resulted in consequence of some of the other grinders taking
off their bands. Immediately the engine was released of
the pressure from the revolving of these stones, the pace of
the grinding stoner; wonderfully increased. The lit.llo at
which the deceased was working duriug its rapid revolution
suddenly smashed in four parts, driving " the horsing" upon
which the deceased was sitting to the top of the room.
Swift was forced through the roof of the room,which is about
five or six yards high ; and when extricated from the debris
at the top of the wheel room was fearfully mangled, tied
died in a few minutes afterwards. One part. of the stone
flew a distance of sixty yards into some adjoining premises,
but fortunately no person was hurt in its transit.—dfurs.
