Transcribed by Ann Selchick. Geo. THE CARLISLE PATRIOT, MAY 27th, 1865 ECCENTRIC ROBINS. _____ Last summer we recorded the curious fact of a pair of robins having built their nest, and reared a progeny of five, close to the work bench in the smithy connected with Mr. M’LACHLAN’s coach work. Nethergate. This year they have again returned to their old quarters, built their nest in the same place, and are presently attending most assiduously to the wants of another clamorous family of five. The old birds appear to have quite an affection for the hard-handed but kindly hearted fellows of the anvil - they will sit by them at work without fear, pick up crumbs at their feet, and catch the flies on the window panes. They obtain ingress and egress by the broken panes of the window, or by the door when open, and seem at home amidst fire-sparks, smoke and noise. - Dundee Advertiser. _____
