It is called "The Royston Crow," and is a variety of the genus which you will find in no other country.

It is a great, heavy bird, larger than his colored American cousin, and is distinguished by a white back.

Indeed, seen walking at a distance, he looks like our Bobolink expanded to the size of a large hen-hawk.

To have such a wild bird all to themselves, and of its own free will, notwithstanding the length and power of its wings, and the force of centrifugal attractions, is a distinction which the good people of this favored town have good reason to appreciate at its proper value.

Nor are they insensible to the honor.
