Large Owl.-A boy living with Emman
uel Maggie, near the Rocks of Deer Creek, one
day last week caught In the woods near Stir.
rup Run an owl, which measured 4 feet Of
inches from tiptotip of wings, and four inches
between tue eyes The boy discovered the
bird on the ground, unable to fly, by reason
of u steel trap in which his leg had been
caught and to which chain about three feet
in length was fastened. The owl was yery
pugnacious and gave some severe blows
with his talons before he was secured. 1t is
probable that the owl had been caught in the
trap the night before, and breaking the chain
carried trap and all with him. Their weight
was too much for his strength, however, and
he was compelled to come down.
