A- 
{,.E. H. i'orbu.sli & Co., the Worcester taxi- 
| dermists, have just received a living grebe, 
| or diver, which was captured in Shrewsbury 
| a few days since. This bird is unable to 
walk upon land except with the aid of its 
wings, and it is also unable to fiy unless 
| starting from the water. Its capture alive is 
a rare occurrence. It was probably sleeping 
on the shore of some p¥>nd, when the water 
j froze over during the night, and the bird, be- 
| ing unable to walk far or to rise from tk© 
| shore, was easily taken.
