HEDGEHOGS.—In treatises on Zoology, hedgehogs
are described as belonging to the order " insectivora,"
and their usual food is stated to be insects, worms, slugs,
and snails, but that they also devour frogs, toads, mice,
and even snakes. They also—though, perhaps, it is but
little known—devour chickens, as may be seen from the
following statement :—Mr. Brown, of the Rhodes Arms
Inn, Bartbrough, was going his usual round one night
last week, to see that all was right in his farm-yard,
when he heard a great noise with a hen and chickens in.
Mr. Rushby's farmyard. He went immediately and
acquainted him with the circumstance, and after having
procured a light, they proceeded to the place from
whence the noise came, and there found a large hedge-
hog in the nest among the chickens, which they secured,
and then examined the nest, and found seven of the
chickens worried. Sentence of death was immediately
passed upon the murderer, and very soon afterwards put
into execution.—Local paper.
POACHING.—SEmous AFFRAT....-On the morning
of Sabbath last, Alex, Bain and Matthew Kirkland,
gamekeepers to the Right Hon. the Earl of Eglinton and
Winton, discovered five men on the farm of Lawthorn,
parish of Irvine, in pursuit of game, after the destruc-
tive fashian of using a couple of dogs to scour the fields,
and nets on the gates to entangle and secure the hares.
The keepers endeavoured to apprehend one of the par-
ties who carried a net, but were immediately set upon
by the other four, who forcibly rescued their companion.
I'he keepers seeing that it was impossible for them suc-
cessfully to contend against so unequal a number, and
being reluctant to make any attempt by which bloodshed
might ensue, prudently followed the poachers at a dis-
tance,:in the hope of obtaining sufficient assistance for
their capture. In doing so they were subjected to
considerable annoyance, being frequently threat-
ened and assailed by the poachers, who all carried
heavy bludgeons, and one an open knife, and in one of
these scuffles one of the poacher s dogs was shot, and one
of the keepers severely cut in the face. The keepers
having been joined by a young man named Fisher, and
by Mr. Dunlop, farmer in Lawthorn, succeeded in se-
curing four of the five poachers, and the fifth was ap-
prehended on Wednesday morning in Kilmarnock. They
are all in Ayr gaol, and the case is now undergoing in-
vestigation by the authorities here. The whole circum-
stances havir°r been made known to Lord Eglinton, we
learn that his Lordship was so much pleased with the
fortitude of the keepers, but more particularly with
their forbearance, in refraining from using their fire-
arms under such provocation, that he presented each of
them with 101., and the lad Fisher with 5/ ; while to
Mr. Dunlop he tendered, in writing, his thanks for Mr.
Dunlop's timely assistance, and sent 11. to each of his
men who assisted in taking the poachers to Irvine.—Ayr
Advertiser.
