. BELLED BUZZARD. n.
We have often heard the story that buzzard
with bell attached to its neck was to be seen
in the upper portion Of this county, though we
never heard the statementverifed until "a gen
tleman informed us that one day last week he
saw the veritable bird, near the residence. Of
Mr.. r. Caldwell, fourteen miles northof York
vile. Some surmise that this is a Charleston
buzzard, that had been belled in that city,
somewhat after the practice of mischievous
boys attaching tin cans to dogs tails, and that
the bird, affrighted by the noise 1t made, flew
from its fayorite city haunts to find a home in
the rural districts where bad boys do not play
their sportive tricks If this theory fails, s,then
the buzzard must have been belled in the neigh
borhood where it now hovers Can any one
tell who did it, and when it was done ,,..,,,a.
