During a violent gale of wind, ee’ Rook. 
ery on the lawn, near die houfe ‘of M. N. Gra- 
burn, esq. in the town of Barton-upon-Hum- 
ber, was lately blown down with a tremend. 
ous Crash, to the great reoret of numerous ad-— 
mirers. aT rookery was rendered extraor- 
dinary by being confined within the limits of 
a single ath, which is supposed to have’ stood 
fora foupie centuries, and has been the birth- 
“place of thousands of its feathered inhabitants. 
The number of nests within the branches of 
the tree, has for the last fifty years averaged 
about ahupdred. Since its fatl) the tree has 
Leen meafured, and is found to contain up- 
wards of three hundred cubic feet of found 
timber ; the bole alone measuring twenty-twe 
feet and a’ baif in length by ten feet in girth. 
It is now about thirty years since it was first 
observed io begin to decay at the top, anda 
covering of 4e4a, which was apslied to keep 
off the wet from the bole of the tree, is sup= 
pofed to have contributed greatly ‘to’ its pre~ 
servat:on since that period. ~~ **
