CAPTURE OF YOUNG HERONS. 



spring after, unfortunately, it did not go away off the place, but 

 was accused of waylaying and devouring young ducks about the 

 cottages, and one day came home with a broken leg. Probably 

 a stone had been thrown at it to stop its depredations. So there 

 was no alternative but chloroform. I was sorry to part with it. 

 It was both interesting and ornamental.
