LARGE COCK.—Mr. John Shanks, clerk to
Mr. John Forsythe, merchant, Elgin, has in his possession
one of the largest cocks—of the silver game species, we
believe—we have ever seen. This majestic member of the
feathered fraternity, though only seven mouths old, weighs
fully nine pounds and a half. The stout gentleman as
Washington Irving might appropriately term him, is game
to the very core. He is fond of fighting ; and disdaining
to dispute the point on scientific principles, be tolerates no
parley, and gives no quarter ; but proceeds to pull up his
adversaries with most unmerciful severity, and without any
apparent " compunctious visitings." He is, in short,
completely " lord of the ascendant" among the feather-
ed tribe in Elgin and its neighbourhood. —Elgin Courier.
