Stray Notes in Zo0io.y.

up the Mlinnay Sotor, places the pig at q
respectable elevation in the scale of dis
eliminating intelligence - As we Sd

The ST. Clair river, belonging to the captain
Of our steamer, curious fact fell under 10y
observation. The pigs belonging to the
farm came squealing down to the water
side. a thing which the persons at the farm
assured me they never did when other steam
ers passed. The captain explained thi.
singular recognition on the part of the pigs
by stating that the swlI of his steamer wa,
always preserved for them. and that, Oh
reaching the landing-place, it was immedi
ateIy put on shore TO feed them. The ami
mails having been accustomed to this valua
BILE importation during the whole summer
months, had learned 10 distinguish the pecu

through the pipe Of the steamer; and a,
they could do this at the distance Of half &
mile, they Immediately, upon hearing it
hastcned down to the river, whilst the noisC

sibliiy Of sharpening the faculties Of the
lower animals by an appeal 10 their appc
tites, and a conclusive proof that the rcadies
way to make all swinish animals reasonable
is to provide plenty of swill for them.
Every one is aware of the lcrocious con
tests which often take place among the
higher animals during the season of love
and gallam,ry; but few, we believe, will be
prepared to find the same feeling raging as
fercely among the cold-blooded denizens Of
the waters, though the poet has long age
given his word for it, 'that even an oyster
may be crossed in love-" Such, however
is the case, if we may credit the subioinec
paragraph from the "Elgin Courier: -
awhile several cutter-men (of the proven
tive service) were on their rounds the Other
day, and bearing along the Findhcn, be.
tween Glenferness and Dulcie Bridge, they
observed an unusual cOmmotion among the
spawning beds of the ford. On approach

seen engaged in mortal combat for the pos
session of a female. Never did chivalric
