Lilt week a lobller of a very uncommon fi7e
was caught at 'North Berwick ; it weighed be-
tween fix and feven pounds. The extreme joint of
the claw meafured nine inches in' length, and at
the thicket part ten inches in circumrerence.
There was very lately in Laurence Kirk, a fwal-
low's nell, with young ones newly fledged, which
is the moll extraordinary proof of the mildnefs of
the prefent feafon that has come to our knowledge.
This circumflance indeed is new in in a part
of the country fo fir north, and kerns to promife
us a continuance of the prefent genial weather, as
the well known emigrations of thefe birds generally
take place about this period. On an Mtn tree in
the fame neighbourhood, there are Alb fieth blof-
foms and a fecund crop of fruit fully fet.

On Wednefday morning, as a Tradcfman in
Market-ftreet, Lancafter, was opening his limp, he
was furprifed at feting a partridge running acrnfs
the flreet, and taking flicker in a cellar, where he
caught it, brought it home, and kept' it in a pen
till the evening ; when a friend coming to fee it,
he opened the door of the pen, and it immediately
flew out, darted through a pane of glafs in the
window, and efcaped. It had no apparent wound
when taken. Several others were Peen in different
parts of the town the fame morning.
A very deftrative bird, never taken notice of
befQre in Ireland, has lately made its appearance
in the neighbourhood of Bandon. Several of them
have been taken and caged; it is called a Crofs-
bill, is about the (ice and colour of a Bunting, and
the food is fondeff of, is the kernels of appleF,
which it very dexteroufly fplits to get at the teed ;
they fometimes have made their appearance in
England, and have committed great deftration
among the apples.
Mr. PAR ETMS, of Saltafh, in Cornwall, has a
fpania which carries vianals to an old blind dog, in

day, when be condttes him to the houfe to dinner,
