Tyed-up about 30 endives.  A swift still hovers about the brew-house at Fyfield.  About a week ago, one young swift, not half-fledged, was found, under the eaves of that building!  The dam no doubt is detained to this very late period by her attendance on this late-hatched, callow young!  The roof of my nephew’s brew-house abounds with swifts all the summer.
