RARA Av1s.-We saw yesterday beauti-
full bird, the like of which, we believe, was
never seen before in these parts. It was
caught in Dinwiddie county, about five or
six miles from this city. 1t is about twice
the size of common partridge, with back
and wings Of q handsome brown color-the
breast like doves, and legs, which are
long, of a greenish hue; but the head and
bill are the most striking parts, and hard 10
describe. In the centre of the forehead n
bright scarlet strip about quarter of an
inch broad runs down from above the eyes
to the root of the bill, which it completely
envelopes for half its length, the other half
being Of a delicate, yelloWish color, curving
gracefully downward at the end. It is one
of the prettiest birds we ever saw. The blu
is a little more than an inch in length, and
the scarlet strip up the front of the head is
perfectly smooth, like wax. This is very
imperfect description Of this remarkable
bird. Being in a small cage, we did not get
satisfactory view OF it.-Peters6arg Coat.
