k Shortly AFTER the wSr with Great <itain,
! N aristoesatic Englfsh gsntlsman built 1 re-
Hdepcs in the .ylcinsty Of Fort George, on
the Niagara frontier, and in accordance with
\ the old country idee 81 excluslvsness, ~ in
closed his grounds vithse high, tight board
fsnce. Here be lived, Ire an old Eaelish
gentleman, 20 none but thezSlste Of fhe off,
Gers Of the neighboring garrisOn wsrs per-
mitted 70 pase bis gates. There vas . very
good understanding between the American
officers At Fort Nngrs and the British ON
GERS at Fort George, and the men we're per-
mitted occasionally to visit back and forth.
Among the American soldiers was a queer
chap, who suffered terribly, was fond Of
hunting, and was always getting into mis-
chief. .H a.a
Ore day this chap took the small boat
that lay moored ct the foot Of the walls Of
the fort, and crossed over to the Canadian
shores 70 have . hunt He wandered over
several miles in the rear Of Fort George,
without meeting my game, and on his ~
turn, seeing crow within tbs inclosure of
the aristocratic Eagiisnmsn, ne scaled the
nigh fence, aad brought down bis game. The
|Col0nel witnessed tne transaction, and ad-
vanced while our soldier was rsloadlns. He
vas very angry, but seeing tbs Yankee stand
Jog with loaded gun In his bands, be gulp-
ed own his anger for q monaent, and merely
asked him if be killed the CROW.
81 am sorry," said the Colonel, ''for he
was "a pet. By the by, that ID very pretty
gun will you be SO kind as to let me look
atfte"
The soldier complied with the request.
The other took the gun and stepped back
. few PAGES, and then broke into q TRADE OF
abuse, con ciudins with an order to stoop
down and take bite Of the crow or he would
blow his brains out. The soldier explained,
lapoiogzsd and entFeated. The Colonel kept
hls finger on the trigger, and sieTnly repeat
ed his command.
| There was shost in the Englishman's eye
there was 10 help for il, and the suffering
soldier stopped down and took bite Of the
crow, but swallow it he could not. Up came
his breakfast, and it appeared as If he would
throw up his toe-nails. The Englishman
gIDated over the misery Of his victim, and
smiled cOmplsceatly at every addiuonal
heaye. When ne had got through vomiting
and wiying his eyes, the Colonel handed hi.n
his gnn, with the remark snow, you ras-
cal, that viii teach y3u- how 10 poach ON q
gentleman's inclosure."
The Yankee soldier took his gun, and the
Colonel might have seen the devil in his eye
II ne had looked close. Stepping back, he
took deliberate aics at the heart of his host
and ordered him instantly to finish the crow.
REPRESENTATIONS, prayers and entreates we're
uselesaA There was shoot in the Yankee
fsJgthen, There FsS no. help at hand, and
be took bite Of she crow. 0ne bite was
enough to send AL the good dinner he had
lately eaten on the same journey with tn,
garrison iare Of t.ae soldier, and while the
Englishman was ilfl the agony OF sickness
Jonathan escaped to the american shore.
The next morning che sommandant Of
Niagara was sitting in his quarters, and Col.
7, was announced.
"Sir r. sand he, 81 come to 1asuaad the
