A SINGULAR COMBAT.—A few days ago the fol-
lowing singular circumstance was witnessed by a person on
the mad between °fell and Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire A
stoat wig making its way from an adjoining field across the
road with a young partridge which it had killed, in its mouth,
when it was pursued and attacked by two skylarks and a
wagtail. The three assailants, acting in concert, rose a little
in the air, then pounced down on their ruthless enemy, re-
peating their attacks so furiously that the stoat was obliged
to abandon his prey. Each time he attempted to regain it
they renewed their attack with increased fury, manifesting a
generous sympathy with the fate of their fellow-tenant of
th air, and evincing a courage which was quite admirable in
birds of those pacific species. At length the stoat espied
the narrator of the circumstance close by, and, feeling some
misgivings as to his own safety amidst so many enemies, he
ran off with the utmor. speed, leaving the plump little par-
tridge behind. —Northampton Mercury.
