A singular circumstance occured lately at Cld-
verton, the seat of JoHu Titomas,
_ESq. Vice-
_Warden of the Stannaries. Mr. TH94tAs; having-
received information that four fowls of a -very
usual size were swimming in his fish-pond, sent
bisgame-keeper to ascertain what they were.—
The man, on approaching, found them to be
swans--a' species very rarely met with in this
part of the country. He instantly discharged a
fowling-piece, and wounded one of the birds ;
when the other three rose, and flew towards Chi-
verton-house. After a short time,they returned,
'and having hovered,a few minutes over their com-
panion, again entered the pond, when thz game-
keeper repeated his fire, and wOtinded two others.
The fourth then took to the wing, and flew in
the same direction as before,s' but soOn returned
,to its dying companions, and shared their fate by
another shot ; when the whole were taken out of
the pond, and carried to the house. They were
very beautiful fowls, extremely large, and per- '
fectly white. The person who first perceived them
stated, that they appeared to come from the North
Channel.
