SWALLOWS.—In a village near this city last season,
a pair of swallows, which had built in the corner of a
window, deserted their young at the period of migra-
tion. They had previously brought up a brood, and
when the general body began to collect for their an-
nual flight, they seemed to be carrying food for an-
other. These, however, they deserted ; and two days
alter the people of the house took down the nest, and
found three young ones in it dead. To the curious in
natural history, this circumstance may occasion& ques-
tion, whether, in these birds, the migratory instinct is
stronger than that of attachment to their young, so
powerful in all animals.—Newcastle Chronicle.
