A RARE SHOT.—A few days ago, as Maidman, gamekeeper to Admiral Sir Phipps Hornby, of Little Green, near Petersfield, was lying In wait for an alleged aerial poacher that had committed several unwarrantable depredations against young game upon the estate, and was known in the locality under the cognomen of “Old Margery,” he observed her taking her evening’s zigzag flight. At this instant she took a sudden downward dart, and after being a short time upon the ground, rose to return, when the fatal shot was fired, and “Margery” fell to the ground. Upon going to the spot the keeper found, to his great surprise, a fine weasel firmly fixed in her talons, both dead, and a short distance off a hawk fluttering with a broken wing, which, from some unaccountable cause, got into the line of fire, and fell from the same shot. Upon being secured, the strange triad were bagged, and they are now in the hands of Mr. Barnes for preservation. The weasel in the talons of the owl, and the hawk alongside, present a rare combination of birds prey, and with the destructive weasel, are sufficiently interesting under the circumstances related above to arrest tho attention of lovers of natural history.—Surrey Standard.
