freely to cake, pie, &c. From the

A BATTLE In THE AIR.
A Terrific Combat between Two Rocky
Mountain Eagles.

A Terrific Combat between Two Rocky
Mountain Eagles.
"a most terrific battle between two
birds, says the Virginia New Noun
tanian of the 14th, occurred betW cen
two large brown eagles in the vicinity
OF the lakes above Virginia on last
Wednesday evening. When first no.
ticed, the birds were soaring, one above
the other, at an altitude of perhaps
three .fourths OF mile, and seemed on
sail for pleasure. Presently the up
permost bird, closing it's broad wings
shot downward like meteor for two
or three hundred feet, and, with wild,
piercing scream, lit fairly upon tn
back of the other bird. Turning with
the rapidity of lightning the victim
clutched its adversary with talons and
beak, and a fierce struggle ensued.
The savage yells, the striking of the
huge wings, and showers of falling
feathers, gave unmistakable evidence
of the ferocity with which the contest
waa wagod
As they fought they fell earthwards,
and when within five hundred feet OF
the ground they became dlsentaneled
and each swooped upwards again. Now
followed an interesting trial MS to
which should first gain sufficient
altitude to make another plunge. The
circline Of the smaller was rapid and
close, while that of his antagonist was
made with greater limits, and his as
cansion was quickest accomplished.
The largest eagle was soon fully one
hall mile high, and some hundreds of
feet above his victim. lowering in
mld-air for a moment, as If making
sure of his aim, he again darted down
upon his enemy, striking him as before
with force that seemed sufficient to
kill of itself. Again they grappled and
fought like winged demons-wh irling,
falling and striking furiously for the
space OF two or three minutes They
were now near the largest of the lakes,
and gradually descending to the water.
The struggles of the smaller became
less and less fierce he was getting
weak and was evidently nearly van
pushed, while his more powerful ag-
gressor seemed to wage the battle with
increased vlgor.
Another moment and the conquer
ing monarch loosed his hold, and with
an exultant shout of victory scared
upward. The battle was ended his
prisoner, limb and lifeless, fell into the
waters of the lake with a splash, and
tioated on the surface without strug-
gle. We with our companion tried to
get the dead eagle, but were unable to
do so without swimming for it. Both
birds We're of very large size, the larg-
est measuring, we think, fully twelve
feet from tip to tip. The spectacle was
exciting in the extreme, and the victory
tragically complete. The battle had
likely commenced before we discovered
them, as it does not seem possible for
one to kill the other in short time,
although the fighting was terrific"

The CIintons.

Colonel De Witt Clinton, who died
August IA. at st. Paul, Minnesota, was
judge advocate in the army. His
father is Judge George w. Clinton, of
Buffalo, for some twenty years past
Judge of the Superior Court. His
grandfather was Governor De Witt
Clinton. His mother was daughter
of John G Spencer, formerly Score
tary Of War QSI1-43), afterward Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and man of
powerful intellect. John G Spencer's
father, Ambrose Spencer, was also a
man of great ability, and filled the
office of Chief Justice of the state of
New York from 1910 to 1923. A Gu
rious incident in the family history is
that Chief Justice Spencer married
successfully two sisters Of Governor
DE Witt Clinton, SO that on both sides
Colonel Clinton's ancestry were re.
markable for intellectual power.
