A friend of ours, whose veracity we should never think of impeaching, re- lated to us a most cxtraordinary experi. ence of his while wildfowl shooting in the Big Bend country. In that secluded spot, flanked and buttressed in by tow- ering hills, is a natural cul de-sac of the Pit River, probably an acre in extent, sodymuch resorted to by wild ducks and geese, Visiting this early one unusually cold morning recently he was surprised beyond measure to see the Jake covered with ice and a flock of wild geese frozen fast to its surface. (Imagine his astonish. ment on drawing near when the entire flock with a mighty clamor rose before him and sailed away, bearing the pond with them and leaving only a hole in the ground to mark the spot.—Atls am proms removed (Cal.)
