He died about a fortnight ago, and, strange to relate, ■ during the last hours of his illness,- j these birds, numbering over 100, flew • around his bedroom jrindow, beating their wings against the glass, uttering . a weird screeching noise. In almost the last moments of the squire's life the ■whole flock of birds disappeared, and j not one of them has been seen since. — Nature Notes. . ■ i
