Where the Duck All Went To.

A Norwich, Conn., man who had stocked his pond with a rare and handsome breed of ducks, found that they were slowly disappearing, but where they went he could not determine. One day a visitor, sitting on the piazza, said: “You’ve got queer ducks. I’ve seen two of them dive, but thfey haven’t come up yet.” This was a suggestion to be acted upon. The owner drew off the water from the pond and found seventeensnapping turtles. He killed them, and now the ducks do not disappear, or at least when they dive they come up again. - - ———^ —
