Citatous FACT.—Last Tuesday when the York
mail arrived at the Cross keys in this town (Hull) at
about six o'clock in the morning, a hen was discovered
roosting on the top. On inquiry it turned out that
she had come all the way from York in that state.—
She bad chosen that place for her bight's lodging,
