One year, however, very near the period of its final disap- pearance, Willie did not pay his respects to the family for eight or ten days after the general flock of gulls were upon the coast, and great was the lamentation for his loss, as it was feared he was dead ; but to the sur- prise and joy of the family, a servant one morning came running into the breakfast room inecstacy, announcing that Willie was returned. The whole company rose from the table to welcome Willie. Food was soon supplied ...in abundance, and Willie with his usual frank- ness eat of it heartily, and was as tame as any barn- yard fowl about the house. In a year or two after- wards, this grateful bird discontinued his visits for ever. CARRIER PIGEONS.
