CURIOrS PHENOMENON

We heard good deal Of talk during the
last few days about a chicken with hr.
man face, al the house Of Madame Martin,
al Condc street, near ST. Philip. We pBld
no attention to the drol stories which VIC
had heard but al length we were so press.
ed, that we were determined to see for our.
selves. AT the place mentioned VIC saw a
chicken, having, instead of beak a nose
and mouth, exactly conformed to those OF
a human face the nostrils, the separating
cartilage, the lips, tongue. chin, are all
there. II is indeed most singular iu,us
nature.-N. o. BaHe'ia.
