" The high bluff has been ting away so that there is a lofty and al most perpendicular wall of clay , where the swallows have hundreds of nests , and the little birds winging to and fro almost darken the air. and surely darken many objects beneath. These swallows are in many respects such a nuisance as to do away with much of the poetical feeling about swallows. Attempts have boon made to disperse them by lining of guns , but it seems an endless slaugl.tcr. Yes terday a now help appeared In the form of an enterprising feline ) , who in some inexplicable manner succeeded in mak ing her way high up tlio steep bluff , and , hanging on n sprig which is growing out of the clay , the cat was cjitchmgtho swal low.- , one utter another , watching them in their Hight , mid when jhey entered tin adjacent hole she would. wait and snatch them as they came out. How she man aged to cling to the side of the bluff , and at the same limo catch , the' ' swift ilylng birds , was a mystery which was hard to solve by those oven who ntood below and watched the wary cat.
