,HIS well-known and truly migratory bird, familiarly 

 known to everybody by the name of "Bob Lincoln,'' 

 who, as a stranger, perhaps, thinks it a point of polite- 

 ness thus to announce himself, as he sits on a rail of the fence* 

 or the branch of a tree, on his annual return in the spring from 

 the south, inhabits the whole continent of America, from 

 Labrador to Mexico ; although his winter residence appears to 

 be more confined to Cuba, Jamaica, and other West-India 

 Islands than to the main.
