Ages Birds.

It is only possible at present to co1- feet data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely a matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life is greater than that under the unnatural conditions of captivity. There are records of a nightingale having lived twenty-five years, thrush seventeen, a blackbird that was still alive at twenty and a half, a goldfnch twenty-three, and slylarks of twenty-four and twenty. Ravens, owls and ceckatoos are popu- larly supposed to live to very great age, and the following records appear to be authentic: Raven, fifty; gray parrot. fifty and forty; blue macaw, sixty-four;; eagle owls, ffty-three, and one still alive at sixty-eight.

Barbarous Proceedings in Hungary.

An extraordinary story is reported from Komorn, in Hungary. The off, eials of the municipality of Moesa, in the Komorn Comitat, are accused of having applied torture to persons im- prisened on suspicion of theft It seems that some time ago the safe ef the municipality was robbed of nearly 5000 Aorins. Numerous arrests were made, but the thieves were not discoy- cred. It was then that torture was applied to six of the prisoners among whom are three women. The mayor and councillors were present The pris- oners were thrashed with red-hot iron rods, burning spirit lamps were placed under their bare feet, and the blade5 of pen knives inserted under their fin ger nails These barbarous proceeQ- ings did not lead to the desired result, and finally the thief, who was not among the six confessed his guilt Strange to say neither the mayor nor the worthy members of the council have yet been suspended.
