to a reasonable hour with the greatest harmony and
conviviality.
GaMs.--From the inqiiiiies we made, when among
the hills last week, we think it probable th it there will
be a good crop ot grouse. although snmemrs:hief war
done by the frosts that occurred when the birds b ti tai
to sit. On the high dry moors the rain fell at the most
critical moment, and selteved many a brood that w bald
otherwise have perished for want of water. The per-
tridge's nests contain plenty of eggs, and though the
parent birds must have felt the effects of the late spring,
the weather recently has been so mach in favour a
both hill and dale, as to lead to the inference that oleic
will be no lack of any kind of game.
Braes.—The b es in the low grounds are doing very
well. and although the heather is just beginning to
burst era° bloom, few skeps as yet have been pitch rd to
the moors. Nnt long ago a srurJy peasant in the pe-
rish of Kell:, discovered a bee hive in the cleft of a
young birch tree, which, with the aid of a saw, and a
friend to keep it steady, be contrived to cot without
incommoding the republic above. and afterwards car-
ried home and planted in a corner of his own garden.
From the size of the colony, and the activity of its
members, we have no doubt that the man, by this very
ionocent.oapture, will put two or three pounds into his
pocket at the end of the season.
NATURAL HISTORY.—We were shown the other day
in Tarnarroch wood, a horned owl's nest, coataining
three young, an unhatched egg, which was probably
rotten, and a very tolerable stock of provisions. The
nest, though on the ground. is protected from the
weather, and we were • good deal struck with the in-
genuity displayed by the feathered architect in lodging
her nestlings under the hollow of a birch tree, so
nicely scooped that it turns aside, without injuring her
own feathers, the fiercest heats, and the heaviest rain.
Owls, like kittens, are blind at first, and the trio we
visited were in that predicament. Though apparently
lotle more than a day old, they seamed pretty active,
stretched their necks as if soliciting food, and were
coveted all over with a coatinp; of down as pure and
white as the undriven snow. and finer than the
inner lining of a swan's breast. Owls, when full grows,
swallow as serpents do, their pier whole. and Avg .sto-
machs are so powerful that they serve to a certain a-
tria all the purposes of a bone milt. But in feeding
their young they must have recourse to some dissecting
process, and as we observed in the nest five field and
wager mice. and several green linnets wanting the heads.
we infer that they had been gullutined as a tid-bit is
the callow hood. Though the nest had been visited
pretty often, not a particle of food was foural.in it be-
fore, and from the provision made, it almost appeared
that the parent birds had calculated the very hour their
young would come forth.. Though the labours of in-
cubation fall chiefly on the female, the male bird is by
no means idle; while Madame remains at home,warch-
ing over the economy of the nursery, Monsieur goes a-
foraging, and attends to the commissariat ; and is so far
from neglecting the interests of his family, that thirty
small birds, and field and water mice, have been found
crammed into one small nest. Within a few yards of
the toot of the birch tree. a pheasant is sitting on ten
eggs, and though the cock owl dare not attack so big
a bird, he pays many sly visits to the spot, and appears
determined to make his oa n of the pouts the moment
they appear. But the game-keeper At Hensol, who
knows his duty well, and along with that the habits of
every fowl that flies, is aware of his intention, and
means to lessen the chances of Mich an outrage, bygiv-
ing him, by and bye, %ewer mouths In feed.

SINGULAR FACT.--A hen pheasant left Hnughtna
Hall, Yet\ the seat of the. Hon. Charles Langdale,
about lour weeks ago; and on the fith instant she re-
turned to the keeper's house with a cletch of young
pheasants. She is so tame that she will take food oat
of the hand of the Lady, with whom the bird has be-
come famil'ar. There is also a cock pheasant at
Houghton Hall, which is so domesticated as to come
for its food when called upon.
Since Thursday last this part of the country has bees
visited by frequent showers of rain ; and. although at
times eztrensely partial, yet nearly the whole distri t
has more or less received the benefit of the refresh*
moisture. The effect cannot fail to prove highly bene-
ficialtn the crops of every sort. but with respect to hay
it comes rather too late where the drought had re-
viously been injurious.—Kelso
