A FACT FOR THE NATURALIST.

rt

A short time ago the following story appeared in a
Belfast paper
At Montalto Glebe,, near Ballymena, in the county of
Antrim, a singular circumstance lately occurred. A wild
duck, partly in a domesticated state, had formed a nest 10
a shrubbery, where it was patiently employed in the busi-
ness of incubation, when it was assailed by a large turkey
cock. A conflict ensued, which terminated in the eject
ment of the web-footed combatant, on which the victor
settled himself with infinite gravity on the eggs."
The philosophical journalist, who is 'somewhat prolix,
goes on to describe the hatching of the , eggs, and the
gobble-gobble, toil and trouble, with which the matronly
turkeycock attended upon the aquatic excursions of his
adopted progeny. He kept a rare clatter and running to
and fro upon the banks, until one fine windy afternoon, as
he strutted along in his " pride of place," the whole clutch
squattered away on whistling wings, leaving him the most
bereaved and disconsolate of turkeycocks.
Had Livy flourished in these latter times, such a pheuo"
menon could not have come and gone without bearing its
comment. It was a palpable parable, intended for those
who hatch other men's eggs ; and Sir Robert Peel is
heartily welcome to make his own of it. The wild-duck,
seated on its peaceful nest, pre-figured Lord Melbourne,
anxiously yet patiently cherishing the natural fruits of re-
form, and waiting for their maturity. The pompous in-
truder with crimson gills and tail outspread, who took
upon himself the uncongenial office of educating wild"
ducks, is clearly a bird of the Tamworth breed, whose
designation it is for the reader's sagacity to interpret. As
to the sequel, time and the thirtieth of March will tell a
good deal. If the ducklings will suffer their wings to be
clipped, and be content to waddle on dry land, or stick in
the mud at the heels of a turkeycock during the rest of
their lives, why, then, a plague of all augury, say I. It is
not worth an old wife's dream. But if they spread their
light wings, and take a short leave. of their dry-nurse in
the feather inexpressibles, long life to the Ballymena brood
every day they live, and many thanks to them for their
good example.

ESPERANCE•

Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, had a female servant (the
daughter of one of his keepers), who broke dogs, walked
the fences and fields, shot occasionally, and assisted her fa-
ther in all his duties. This intrepid woman once took a
poacher, a sailor, on the marches, at least two miles from the
house, trim in her sole custody. Amongst other
-duties she kept the key of the church, arid one day two pa'
tlemen, guests at the house, went to enjoy the view *mu
the top of the steeple. Mary accompanied them • in their
frolic they attempted to kiss her, she ran down, locked the
door, and departed. When the dinner hour arrived the gen-
tlemen were not to be found, inquiry was made, and the
whole affair developed, to the no small chagrin of the gal"
lasts. and the high entertainment of the rest of the party.
DREADFUL DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN CADET,
AT Woommn.—Yesterday afternoon a Gentleman Cadet,
named Onslow, aged fifteen years, met with his death under
the following melancholy circumstances :—On the return Of
the cadets from dinner, they were amusing themselves by le-
velling that part of the parade fronting the Royal Military
Academy, devoted for a cricket-ground, with a very large iron
roller, when the deceased stumbled, and it passed completely
over his body, which was crushed in a most frightful manner.
Every possible assistance was rendered, but the vital spark
had fled. The body was conveyed to the Artillery Hospital,
where it awaits a Coroner's inquest.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.---A meetins_, took place, at
five o'clock on Saturday morning, below D'ollymount,- at the
'North Bull, between Mr. J. Maccabe, of Rutland-square, and
Mr. Pomroi, of Cork.. The preliminary arrangements having
taken place, on the signal being given, Mr. M.'s ball struck
the . pistol of Mr. P., carrying away part of the ramrod near
the top ; Mr. P.'s pistol missed fire. Mr. Gyles, Mr. Pool'
roi's friend, immediately came forward to demand a second
shot on the part of Mr. P., which being acceded to by Mr,'
M., the signal being changed and again given, Mr. P. fire'i
without effect. Mr: M. discharged his pistol in the air,_ and
having expressed himself satisfied with Mr. P., signified his
intention to exchange shots with Mr. Gyles before quitting the
field. This being agreed to by Mr. G., and the parties placed-
in their relative positions, on the word being given, Mr. G.
fired without effect, Mr. M.'s ball deeply grazed the glut
maximus muscle of Mr. G., happily, however, not inflicting
more than a flesh wound. It appeared, on explanation, that
Mr. G. was not aware that a snap or miss-fire should b°
reckoned as a shot. The parties then left the ground, per-
fectly reconciled.—Freeman's Journal.

HASTINGS.—A fishing-boat belonging to Lydd
anchored one evening last week in our roads. Two men and
a boy came on shore, and left two men on board, being the
whole of the crew. In the morning, when they returned to
the boat, they found one of the unfortunate men quite suffo-
cated, and the other in almost a lifeless state; he was taken
on shore immediately, and the proper means being used, WC
are happy to say that he recovered. It appears that the era/
had lighted a wood fire in their little 'cabin, and when thef
went to bed, without extinguishing it, they shut the hatclvai,
close. The consequence was, that want of air produced
suffocation. The poor fellow who died was named Black-
lock, and kept a public-house at Lydd, to which place his
remains were carried the next day.—Brighten Gazette.
DREADFUL MURDER.—A man killed his Wife
last night in Carlow,under the following circumstances. The
mother of this woman, Mrs. Sly, was hanged for the murder
of her husband, and the husband of the daughter murdered her
lest she might do as her mother did—murder her husband.
The awful circumstance has created a great sensation of hor-
ror in the town and neighbourhood of Carlow.—Dublin MaiL

MIRACLES AT LucKNow.---A second Prance
Hohenlohe has appeared'at Lucknow in the person of SY3II".
Husn Kashmee, who lately returned from a pilgrimage t°
Kerbolah with the brother of the learned highpriest of the
Sheeahs, and who, in consequence, resides at Court under the
most favourable auspices. On his introduction to the RoYa,
presence, the King gave orders to set More hEm 21 trays of
shawls and 6,000 rupees ; but the Syyud, to use the words of
our correspondent, 4, being a perfect man, and wrapped up in
abstraction from worldly affairs," excused himself from atc-
cepting the proffered gifts, and contented himself with recom-
mending his friend the Moojtcheid's brother to his Majes thty%
favour. It is said, and by many devoutly believed, that
Dervish of Kashan has positively found the philosopherl.
stone the prophet having in a dream informed him that it lafo
under Abraham's black stone in the Kaaba, and especially per.:
mitted him to carry it off. Others doubt this, but affirm 91
by merely placing paper under the pillow of his fortunate lie:3;
for.the space of one night he converts it into gold, " Yell%
glittering, precious gold," and as he spends 5,000 rupeerupeeir
month, and receives no rents, it is plain that one of di.) stotle
must be near the truth.—lndia Paper.
