very interesting sight above one of the crags
of Ben Nevis as I was going in pursuit of
black game, 1 wo eagles were teaching
their oi&priug, two young birds, the ma-
no3uvrestigruvXneyUranny rising
from the top of a mountain in the eye of the
suu ; it was about nuVLday, and bright for
this climate. They at first made sma
circles, and the young birds imitated them, ;
they paused on their wings, waiting till
they had made their first flight, and then
took a Second ami larger gyration, always
rising towarJaJhesun, andLenlarging their
circle of night, so as to make a gradually
extending spiral Tlie young ones still
slowly followed, apparently flying better as
they mounted; and they continued this
sublime kind of exercise, always rising, till
they became mere points in the air, and
the young ones were lost, and afterwards
their parents, to our aching sight.

SOME time in tlie month of April

this place, 'from a man who called
-himself lahnn Jones, a Bay Mare, I
about 14 hands 3 inches hurh. both I
hind feet white, a small ring of white above the
hoof of her near fore foot, and a star in her lace.
But a small part of tlie value of said mare was
paid at the time of the purchase. From some
suspicious circumstances in Jones' conduct, at the
time of the sale, together with the fact of his hav.
ing never returned to receive the purchase money,
the subscriber is induced to believe that the more
had been stolen. She is stili in his possession, and
can be had by the owner, on his producing satis
