Fish in the Nest of an Owl,

John Golding, of West Bradford tp.,
Chester county, cut down tree recent
ly thinking it a ''coOn tree" which he
still thinks it was, rs the inner portion
OF it gave sufficient evidence of the fact,
but the "coons'' were absent. In their
stead he found snugly ensconccd a
screech owl and five fish. The latter,
To all appearances, had not been out of
the water great while. Mr.. Golding
says that he knows that 'coons do catch
fish. but the query with him is whether
they were caught by coons or by the
owl. He would like to know from some
of our nnturaIists whether owls ever do
prey upon iisi,.-Reoding (R.) Times.

by seizing upon masculine, friend, en-
