WILD DUCKS.—As the cold weather approaches, wild
fowl become moire numerous in our firth, and usually
attract a number of aquatic sportsmen to the town. For
the last week or two Mr. Wyndham has had some capi-
tal punt shooting between Inverness and Munlochy,
generally bagging about a score a day to his own gun.
The poor villagers of Clachnaharry, near whom Mr.
Wyndham has been staying, ',have largely benefited by
his good sport and liberality.— Inverness Courier.
The valuable canonry in Canterbury Cathedral, vacant
by the death of Doctor Spry, has been conferred upon
the Rev. William Stone, Rector of Christ Church, Spital-
fields, and formerly Fellow of Brazenose College, Oxford.
The new canon has been for upwards of a quarter of a
century the clergyman of one of our largest and most
impOverished metropolitan parishes, during which time
he has, on several occasions, prominently engaged in
some of the great social questions of the day principally
affecting the poor. He is, we believe, a liberal in poli-
tics, though unknown as a politician. He is understood
also to possess a decided tendency towards ecclesiastical
reform. We learn that ho resigns the living of Spital-
fields; at the same time we have not ascertained whether
it be a condition imposed by the Government or a
voluntary act en the part of the reverend gentleman him-
self. In either case, however, it is a step in the right
direction, and, apart from other considerations, cannot
fail to invest the appointment with a very different mea-
sure of popularity from that which has attended certain
almost equally recent ones.
