A Duck Battle.

A gentleman from Packwaukee relates
the particulars of novel sight he was
witness to the other day on Buffalo Lake.
His attention was attracted toward the
lake by a roar that resembled the ap
proach of n hurricane, and there he dis.
covered myriads of ducks engaged in
mortal combat. He watched them for a
while, and discovered that the battle WAS
between the mallards and the canvass
backs, who were striving for the sliprem-
acy on the celery fields. The lake WAS
fairly strewn with feathers, as II all the
ducks in the land had been picked Tor
the occasion.- Wison,ia Sat Regis'er.
