They . } addpted their habits to the ordiwary delights of the barn-yard, and swam in the. pond with the tame geese, without showinga disposition to go on a “wild goose chase.” At length, about the 4th of .

After an absence of two months, early in January. great was Mr. Smith’s surprise to find, on getting up one morning, that his two wild geese had _returned .to their old haunts on his farm. They not only returned, bat eléven more wild geese came with ‘them as visitors, which they piloted safely from some.
