presents another advantage the rotten fish be-

A gentleman Of responsibility, OF RrooIlne

10 have paid much attention 10 the subject
while he resided in Philadelphia. He says that

A NEST Qfan ostrich, found IN South Africa
JV Mr. Br0adbent, Il Missionary The eggs
we're forty two IN number, including the two
which had been taken away before, and were
arranged with great apparent exactnes. Six-
teen were close together in the middle of the

we arrived they were as many as she could CO.
yer The remaining twenty sir were placed
very uniformly 10 circle about three or four
feet iron, those in the middle. The eggs which
were in the circle were found to be quite fresh.
at which depressed my surprise The Hot

ded by the ostrich agains, the Matching oftllose
in the middle, when she would break them
one after another, and give them 10 her young
ones for TODD and that by the tine they were
disposed of in this manner, the young ostriches
would be able TO 60 abroad with their mother,
