Some persons who recently aseended
from Boston in a balloon, were struck
with amazement to find that they could
readily see the bottom Of streams over
which they passed. The phenomenon |

Of eating a fine rose-cOlOred crane. It
was alive, and uttering hideous cries, /
which apparently only increased the zest
with which the young monster bit into
It's raw and bleeding back. He confessed
to having stolen and devoured alive
other missing birds. A sound whipping
seems to have done him no good, for be |

which he probably intended to kill and
eat. He WAS ST once pat Ia close con-
