Mt. Clements, Mich., May 28. - For many years a pair of eagles have made a nest in a tall old elm tree on the lake shore north of the mouth of the river. Charles Smith, a farmer, observed one of them circling over his flock of sheep. Suddenly it made a swoop down and, fastening its talents in a lamb, started off with it. With a rifle shot Smith brought the bird to earth. It measured nearly eight feet from tip to tip.
