To die as II hv stealth;

Or pale the GLOW Of health.

by which our path is crossed;

A belled turkey buzzard was shot
and killed short time since in Prairie
Faquetiaque by Mr.. J. FL. MCGEE. The
bell was round one, and was fastened
to the sweet scented birds neck with a
raw-hide string. He is said to have
been seen and several times shot at in
the neighborhood of Church Point. His
wing feathers were few aud far be-
tween,-eyidently thinned out by nu-
merous shots received. Another mark
which may help to identity him is that
he was of the red-headed species. The
