A SPORTING EWE.—While some shepherds in th:
highlands of Banffshire were lately gathering their sheer,
from the more retired parts of their pastures, for tbb,
purpose of clipping them, they were surprised by ° a
serving a ewe descending a hill with great speed, allot
apparently in pursuit of some beasts. They were 23,,
kept long in suspense, when the sheep with some col,
culty captured the object of her pursuit, a weller/..!
grouse ; but, not being so well accustomed in securing
Ist,,
her victim as the canine species, it escaped from
However, not satisfied at losing her anticipated repaLoe
she set off again in pursuit, and, after coursing for ad Iv
time, again seized the poor creature, devoured it grced;litti
feathers and all, and was seemingly much satisfied 11,,,e.
her illicit prize. It is very probable, says our e°- nis
spondent, that she had been in the habit of killing
game previous to this, but how she could disgrace' th
for
innocent character which her kind get credit is left
naturalists to determine.—Aberdeen Journal. ff t.
The Monitore Tway"), of the 24th, states that Ofth
Castelli, of the French brig Mont-Liban, fell in "'the
a Greek pirate vessel of 200 tons, off St. Andrea, io „ea
Adriatic, on the night of the 16th. The pirate atternPier
to board, but the Mont-Liban succeeded in making rde
escape by crowding all sail. Captain Castelli afterv, rd
learnt that the same vessel had also attempted to b°l4,it
an Austrian brig, but without success. On arrivinius,
Lista, Captain Castelli gave information, and an boe.
trian sloop of war immediately left that port to c
the pirate. The same captain described the hull,,,°rect
wrecked vessel off the coast of Sardinia, and conjee'risbe
from her build that she must be either French or Beg Isie
but the sea being heavy, lie could not approach her'. 0)
boats or vessels being visible in those parts at the 0131
the fate of the crew could not be ascertained. ;4
ORIGIN OF THE CHILTERN HIINDREDS.—There •-by
portion of the highlands of Buckinghamshire, km/v/111,0
the name of the Chiltern Hills. Formerly these --,.1
abounded in timber, especially beech, and afforded alto
ter to numerous banditti. To put them down, an;,..0
protect the inhabitants of the neighbouring parts the
their depredations, an officer was appointed, under s,',
Crown, called the " Steward of the Chiltern Hundre" ote
As it is an office under the Crown, any member acc
isg it, ipso facto, vacates his seat in Parliament.
