Something curious.--The other day, while al the house of General William Disharoon, of Louisiana, we were shewn two whole eggs, with the breast bone, and other parts of wild duck, which were discovered em- bedded in large cypress log, perfectly sound and solid. The eggs and bones were discovered while the log was being sawed up for lumber and the only rational way in which we can account for this singular discovery is. that the tree originally had a hollow in 1t, in which the unconscious, duck built her nest, and, during the usual time of incubation the hole, or opening, be- came closed by the rapid growth of the tree. From the appearance of the tree. and the place where the eggs and bones were taken from, it must have happened l5 or 20 years ago. We perforated one of the shells and found in empty. .-- Grand Gu!f (yMiss.1 .ad- Dsrt5Sef.
