It is related concerning Mr Tennyson that lie had just gone to live near Blackdown, and one night he lost his way while rambling about. A woman standing at the door of a cottiige did her best to set him right, and in doing so described one corner of his own house saying, " You will see it us you turn the corner by it clump of yew trees, Some one's come to live there from Lunnon. They say he's a queer 'tin. He's a actor, or does writin' or sunimat o' that sort; but lie's a queer 'un 'e is, He goes about more like a beggar nor anylliin' else." " Ob," said ; Tennyson, " have yon seen him 1" "No, I can't say as I've seen 'un, but that's what I hear. He goes ajjkt just for all like a beggar." V Mr Hayward, stationmasfer at Mid- rfh, ford, near Bath, has a cat which is now engaged in bringing up its kittens (aged three weeks) and a young starling (just fledged). The bird fell from a nest in the eaves of the house, and upon Mr H. calling the cat's attention to it, the latter picked it up and carried it to its box, where it has lived for the last week, anxiously tended by the cat, When it has been fed by any of the family, the cat licks its beak: and if it scrambles or falls out of the box, the cat most carefully carries it back, and, in fact, seems more anxious for the little stranger's welfare than that .of its own progeny. After this.we may expect to bear of young cubs being reared in the kennel, and young rats in the ferret's box.
