It was observed swimming in the river, and was shot at six tines before it was 'killed, the shat flattening against the; ,feathers. It was a fine specimen and vkilP'ba stuffed. for Mr. S. Pike, who has purchas- ed it. It is unusual' for them to Way Wane, but once any distance on land, their capture is.eaey, as they cannot rise from level water. STaui.E Bttnxsn,-Between threeand four o'clock on Sunday morning an alarm of fire was sounded, caused by the discovery that a "stable belonging to Mr. Stephen Walsh, near the G;W.R., was on tire. A crowd was soon on band and prevented the spread of the fire to adjoining property, but 'the stable and contents could not be saved. A buggy, set of ' harness, a quantity of potatoos, and other ar. • tides were consumed. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as the stable was very little used. No insurance. 4APID GnowTHr—On Tuesday Mr. W. - I Searle showed us.a stalk of asparagus that had Brown • oyer, .twelve inches in twenty-four, hours. This is remarkably rapid growth; but still in keeping with the surprising advance• meat of all vegetation during the past week. The late rains and subsequent warm weather have caused grain, garden, products, etc.,' -to grow very quickly, and these articles are now • much further advanced than was anticipated; should they mature as quick, in• proportion, as they ha't'e advanced since being sown, the harvest will be very early.
