Mr. Charles Ryersosn of Upton had a curious experience to-day. 
He was driving through’ Grafton when he saw a number of Crows hover¬ 
ing excitedly over a thicket of alders into which,every now and 
then, they plunged one after another with lotid cries. Leaving his 
horses in the road he went to the place and found a large brown- 
colored Eagle standing on the ground eating a Crow which it had 
evidently just killed. He got within a few yards of it when it 
arose and attempted to carry off the Crow but finding that the 
latter impeded its flight through the alders it finally dropped 
it and made good its escape closely pursued by the other Crows. 
All this happened within a few rods of the spot where the Golden 
Eagle was killed by the little girl while attempting to eat a Goose 
a few years since. Although there is no real proof that the pre¬ 
sent bird was a Golaen Eagle there seems to be every reason to sup¬ 
pose that such was the case.
