A COUNTRYMAN'S SENTIMENT.—The Brighton
Guardian says that during the Mayor of Chichester's
dinner, last week, a countryman, with white smockfrock
and leather gaiters entered the room. Upon inquiry he was
discovered to be the bailiff of the worthy mayor. Ralph was
invited to take a glass of wine, and on being called on for a
toast, caused a roar of laughter by giving " More wine and
less bishops."
FALCON-11AWK....-011 Friday last a splendid falcon-
hawk, having leather jeses and a steel swivel appended to
his feet, was shot by the gamekeeper on the estate of Burn-
side, near Forfar. The bird measured thi 53 feet one inch from
tip to tip of the wings when extended ; and is, altogether, a
remarkably fine specimen of the now scarce and valuable
species to which it belongs.—Scotsman.
