marsh a few yards from the edge of the river. As
it ran about wagging its long tail, it frequently
passed over stretches of snow although there were
also considerable expanses where the snow had
wholly melted away.
  We reached Concord at a little after three o'clock
and Gilbert & I took the 4 P.M. train for Cambridge.
  The farmers tell me that a Deer was seen two
successive days last summer in a corn field on
Mr. Lawrence's place not far from the northern
boundary of my own land. When stalked it
ran down to and across the river meadow near
Birch Island. No horns were noticed.

  Last autumn a Deer, a young buck if I
remember rightly, swam across the Sudbury River just
above Nashawtuck bridge in Concord and then ran
up the south side of the hill passing directly across
Mr. W. H. Wheeler's lawn. It was seen by several laborers
as well as by Mrs. Wheeler.
  The "Listener" reported, in the "Transcript" about
a week since, that he had himself just seen a
doe in "Norfolk County".
