THE CROW OF GEYLOR.

Every one has heard Of the sympathie~
of animals towards each other. Cries of

In my own immediate neighborhood, the
youngest of large litter Of pigs-a poor
little helpless creature-who was not able
to get at its mother for nouriShment, was

of combined intelligence in creatures

hitherto unuoticed by naturalists as exist
ing among the feathered creation. The
accuracy of the aneeuote may be vouched
