When the gunning season came on. he would go to one of the many ponds in the vicinity, and after concealing himself in a blind, would place the quack on the pond aud within gunshot; he would then, as soon 58 he saw any of his fellows flying in their direction, scream and flap his wings to attract their atteution. And after they lied nettled, ho would watch our friend Bob, and as soon as he raised his gun to deal death and deetruotioll, would dive uuder the water, remaining till Ise heard the report of the gun when he would reappear and examine the dead with a grin of satisfaction, tied should any of the game be crippled, and get in the high grass surrounding the pond. he would follow, and by -his cries direct Bob to the place of concealment. But he at length came to an untime- y end through the carelessness of his master, in the following manner. One day, after the ducks had been attracted, he, on seeing the gun pro- sentea, made a dive .as usual, but the gun from being in a darty condition missed fire, and as the duck was too well trained to come up before hearing the report, the poor fellow was drowned.

Nat many pare ago, when the sci- ence of rnnemrnics was in all its glory, the writer of this article happened to be in the City of \Vheeliag, Vrri iuia, upon an occasion when two lady pro flamers of the science were giving pub- lic demonstrations, and during the per - formulae it became necessary. in order to test the wonderful powers of their memory, to invite any gentleman to et -p on the platform and call out the raumbers or sentences, as they were propounded in presence of the andi- enoe. A person of good yoice and delivery was required, and such a person was respectfully invited to cane forward The invitation had hardly been given before It foppish, self•eouceited ypung man of good family sprang rip' and offered his services.
