A singular instance of the boldness and audacity
of foxes lately occurred at Semersyde-house. As

girl ran up to him, and with difficulty got the bird
from bins; but Reyoard, unwilling to give up 'its
prize, attacked her again, sod absolutely succeed-
ed in taking it from her once or twice; eventually,
however, finding himself defeated. but still on.
willing to give up the contest entirely, he followed
her (she carrying the turkey iu her arms) home
to within a few yards of the house-door, where he
theoglot it the wisest plan to bend his course to-
wards the Gateheugh.—(Scotch Paper.)
