A JACKDAW AT CHURCH.—On Christmas morning,
during Divine service, a jackdaw took his stotion on the
cushion of the pulpit in Crewkerne Chorch, and as the
officiating minister did not deliver any sermon on that
occasion, Parson Daw undertook to supply his place,
and delivered an extempore address, which was not very
suitable to the time and place. At the conclvsion of the
service jack took his departure. f
CALIFORNIAN DOCTORS.—A friend, in speaking o
California, says—" If you call a physician to relieve
you, he generally does it—if not of the disease, of your
pocket-book. For three ' ahems' and a ' ha' I paid, in
August last, 27 dollars."
