results-except the loss of few panta-

to ''get him down." as the vulgar saying
has it. Invariably prove Intellectual.
A few weeks ago. however, when the

ordered from some person in New York.

arrived, was the good humored joker. who
was nearly pfpped to See them and g.. .

until his anxiety had reached its highest
pitch, and he offered to pay double their
cost for half dozen. which was 50 per
egg. Heads were now thrown toge the.
for the purpose of getting" the punster

eggs ware carefully packed in box and
addressed to the applicant according to
ORDER care of commits son merchant, &c.
were received and in possession of the
rightful owner, when the anxious joker
soon heard of their reception and hasten

was finally agreed between the two that
he should take the entire lot and when
hatched, the chickens were TO be equally
divided. and that neither should say Il

In the greatest hurry he procured bas-

TO prevent any suspicion. and left quite
cautiously but directly for home-retain-

deprived one of his best setting hens of
her own eggs. he carefully placed mis- ne w

the deep anxiety and watchfulness of the
funny man may be easily inferred from
his actions. for it is said they are indies
cribable; hut about the time the first lit
