All through the night heard a short, snap
ping sound coming from the twigs of the
bushes, but in the darkness / was unable to
ascertain the cause. 1t was not confined to
any one bush, but extended along the whole
distance. There was no regularity about it,
but 1t fell upon the ear at intervals like the
pattering OF the first large rain drops that
precede a heavy shower; but no rain drops
ever made so loud noise, even when falling
upon the single roof OF a country barn. 1
fell asleep trying to make out the cause, and
was awakened by the continued snap, snap,
snap, which disturbed my slumbers. 1 knew
1t couldn't be the day breaking, because it
was not near the morning hour. But when
morning did come, and the sound had not
ceased, / discovered that it arose from the
oysters that were actually growing on the
bushes, every twig OF which held along its
length cluster of from ten to twenty oysters
about two inches long by an inch and a half
wide. thought it was strange country
where the bushes bore such fruit as that. The
branches Of the bushes were submerged at
high water, and the young oysters grew upon
them until their weightb broke off the branches
and they fell into the SOFT muddy bottom. It
was the sudden closing of thin shells which
produced the sound. Some naturalists have
said the oyster can be educated; but this was
the first time was ever an auditor of an oys-
