Geese In A Fog

The oddest story of geese in the fog comes from Norfolk, ind was told to Mr. Stevenson, the mthor of "TheBirds of Norfolk," by the Rev. II. T. Frere. A largo flock of geese were attracted to the town of Diss on a foggy night by the lights. and from the sound of their voices seemed to fly scarcely liigher than the topa of the house;;. Tliey came about 7 p. in., and, as it was Sunday evening, they appeared to be especially attracted by the lights in the chnrch, and their incessant clamor not a little disturbed the congregation assembled for evening service. From that time izntil 2 a. m., when the fog cleared off and they departed, they continned to fly around utterly bewildered. One bird happened to fly so low as to strike a gas lamp outside the town - probably it was flying round the light - jast as a policeman was passing by, who very properly, as the bird was making a great noise outside a public house, took it into custody, and the next day it was with equal propriety sent off to a private lunatic asylum at Melton, where it lived for some years an honored gnest.
