interment of one of the largest and
statliest of the temples which still
exist in the valley of the Nile, is

The famous belled buzzard is To-
Gated at frequent intervals, and the
latest report of this somewhat mi
gratory bird comes from our own
county. Tuesday of last week while
Messrs. j. w. Quillen and Thomas
Crowell were at work in the woods
6miles north of town, they observed
a buzzard lowering near. Hearing
a small bell, they soon perceived
that the noise came from the buz-
zard, which was a large specimen of
the native species, and they could
plainly see the bell suspended from
the neck of the bird.
