WILD DUcKs.-CoI. Jacques, who resides at
the Ten Hill Farm in Medford, has a novel way
of obtaining wild ducks. Yesterday he had an
accession Of ten to his flock. Last fall, almost
thirty wild ducks were ensnared in Maine, and
captured alive; their wings were clipped TO pre-
vent their escape, and thus they gradually be-
came dOmesticated Col. Jaques who is a nat
uralist, as well as excellent farmer, purchased
them and carried them to his farm, where they
were at liberty to roam over acres of marsh and
upland; they became accustomed to his call, and
do not now manifest the least disposition to eui-
CRATE. lfa stranger enters the yard, they mani
fest the utmost alarm, and make an attempt to
fly. By their peculiar call, and the freedom
which they enjoy to traverse the margin of the
Mystic river, and the marshes, they attract other
wild ducks, who make shy descent and remain
for a time, then take to flight, but not being
alarmed, repeat their visits; then they lay their
eggs, and finally become accustomed to the call
ofthe Colonel, who will not suffer them to be mo-
Tested, and they remain upon the premises Yes

MORE KIDNAPPING.--Th recent Harvey case .
which created no little excitement in this CITY
some weeks since, has been followed up by one Of
even greater atrocity in Toronto 1t appears. as
we gather the particulars f. ON our Toronto cx-
changes, thata dashing young negro from the
United States came over to Toronto and married
the daughter of a respectable colored citizen, but
receiving no money with her as he expected, went
of to the Southern States and there sold his wife
into slavery. The williams pretext was that he
had rich relations in the South, and the unsuspect
inS wife thus permitted herself to be nyeigled into
the kidnappers snare, and became the dupe of
his treachery. The father of the young woman
is now left to find his daughter and probably will
have to purchase her in the slave market Of the
