Flock Of White Swan on River.

The presence Of a large flock of big white
swan on the river between this city and
Alexandria attracted the attention of pas
sengers aboard the steamers on the river
yesterday. They were noticed by the off,
GERS of the steamer Charles Manchester or
the mouth of Broad creek, and later In the
day they came up the river and We're feed
ing in the flats OF the mouth OF Four-miie
Run in the afternoon. There were fifteen
or twenty of the graceful birds In the
fiock, and though they were feeding well
over toward the Virginia shore. they could
be plainly seen by the passengers on the
ferry line steamers. Ducks and wild geese
are frequently to be seen on the river, but
q flock OF wild swan as large as that seen
yesterday seldom visits this part of the
Potomac. Reports coming from down the
river are that the birds have been quite
numerous along the lower river for . week
