ironment. An interesting young family (of blackbirds), i-eared . . . in a hole inthe trunk of a venerable apple-tree, at the corner of the garden, in-spired that entitled iMi/ Bahen in the Wood, in which she says : Itwas towards the end of May, and our garden was becoming a perfectaviary. It is a very old-fashioned garden, stocked with ancient fruit-trees ; Apple and pear, and plum and cherry, Or anything else to make us meri-y,as many a bird sang, or meant to sing, in bird language : with luxuriantundergrowth of currants, gooseberries, raspberries, running almostwild. Then the loss of her cat Lotos—so called evidently from hishabit of taking life easily as represetited in the pliotograph—furnisluulthe topic for Our Lost Cat.

Our Lost Cat. As I recently noticed a paper of yours in the Booth Time^ (herereprinted) on these Linacre writings of Miss Muloch, it is no usemy going over the same ground, except that it may be of interest tostate that the old gentleman referred to m Our Lost Cat, as remindingher of Mr. Dickens Casby the Patriarch, was identified by contem-poraries as Mr. Hope, father of the late Mrs. Danson, whose hus-band was one of the donors to your institution. The lodge of the big house of the village, to which allusion ismade in the same sketch, and where she witnessed such a pleasantdomestic scene, was that attached to the house called Homefield,then occupied by Mr. Hudson Lutwyche (see Burkes Laiuhd Gentry ofGreat Britain for particulars of this anciient family name). The lodgehas disappeared, but the house surrounded by brickfields still exists. My informants family has been associated with Linacre for up-wards of three hundred years. CHAS. HY. HUNT.
