A STRANGER.-We were shown, few days since
bird which was killed by DIR. Thruston. From what
can learn from the Oldest settlers and hunters in
this latitude, they are unable to decide to what spe
cies he belongs. Some call it the Bittern and Others
the Stork, but upoB reference to natural history by
Dr. Thurston he has come to the conclusion that this
bird is the Bittern unknown to this latitude but to
that of Europe. We give description of it for the
information of hunters and naturalists. Height
when standing, five feet three inches breadth of
wings, six feet eight inches length of back nine
inches Upon the whole it was master specimen OF
the bird kind possessing the strangest and most fan
tastc coat of plumage that have ever looked upon
AS the exterior Of an American fowl, its pumage on
the scapular region being as black as raven, and re-
sembng the ostrich feathers, whilst its head, back,
neck and sides were gaudily bedecked with long deli
cate ribbonike feathers of every hue and color that
belongs to the rainbow, hung in clusters and wreaths
about his graceful birdship, beautiful beyond all con-
ception, unless compared with the famous bird Of
Paradise. 1t proved to be not only an eatabe,bird
but one the most delicious fowls we have ever eaten
