A Remarkable Chicken.

The Petersburg Express records the
life and adventures of chicken. which
must be "the most remarkable ct,cbeH IN
all this country For some time, 1t says,
lady IN South Ward, has had an anna
bIe hen, which ~ due season, laid one
egr, which she Immediately set Oh to
hatch. aud IN due course, brought forth
tiny cbickcn-a dwartsh phenomenon
Of chicken. The mother immediately
set about initiating this only child into tb"
ways of the world, aud she soon set to
laying again every day accompanied -
her nest by hcr curious little one. As
soon as the hen had seven eggs, che sat
on them to hatch them a5 usual, her Int
tie chick remained constantly sitting BY
her side, and only left the nest when the
mother quilted it, Finally, seven chicks
made their dciuf, and were Iudofatieab-y
nursed by the mother and daughter;
indeed they at times qarrelIed as to
Which should pay the most attention t.
the little doWny brood. After few weeks
the mother became disgustcd with her lit
tie family, left them and began to lay
again; then the whole charge devoIved
upon the tiny, half-growu puIIcti and 1t
is most amazing to witness the maternal
gravity with which the elder sister pur
veys for all their wants by scrachiug and
digging for, as well as protecting her
little adopted change: and it Is refreshing
to see how fondly the little things aPpre
ciate such attention, apd follow their lit
tie protectorcss around most deyotedly.
Verify, lessons of duty and family affec
ton may be learnt from many OF the
brute creation.

DEFEnpED ARTICLES.
A Monster in Human Share.

The Abingdon Democrat says; a Ger
man named Jacob Brenigar Is now await
ing his trial in Wyoming, Va. charged
with series Of offences that surpass in
| horror any of the tales which old wives
tell bad children to keep them quiet; OF
giants who lived once upon 4 time. This
Breniger was formerly = Baptist preach
cr in North Carolina. While residing
there he attempted an outrage upon his
own daughter His wife made the fact
known, and Brcniger with his family
moved into Wyoming There he made
! another attempt to rape his own daught-
er. Shortly aftcrward, desirous Of obtain
ing renewal of his license to preach,
which had been taken from him in North
Carolina, he applied to his wife to retract
the charges she had brought against him,
and admit that she had sworn falsely.
This she refused to do, notwithstanding
he inflicted frequent and severe tcatings
upon her At last finding neither per
suasion, threats or cuttings would have
any influence, one night he pulled his
wife out of bed and, dragged her over
piece of new ground, fall OF stumps, injur-
ing her SO seriously that she died short
time after giving premature birth to a
child. Mrs Berniger at first refused to
tell the mode Of receiving her injuries !;
but finding that death was inevitable
made some of the ncighbors acquainted
with ali the facts. The husband was ar
rested but released on bail While un-
der bonds he made an attempt to decoy
his niece into the woods at the back Of
her residence, but she told her husband,
who pursued the runian, and would have
killed him but bis gun missed fire. This
statement we have obtained from a gen
tloman residing in TazeweIl, who Is cog

made to understand signs we'll 1t is not

These arc doubtful cases; but in the
former instances there seems no room for
questioning the facts Our readers,
however, must Judge for themselves At
all events, the subject appeared to us SO
curious and SO full Of interesting sugges-
tions, that we hardly think they will
quarrel with US for bringing it thus un-
der their notice.

q Silent Mani

Capt. Stone of the steamer Canada,
now in this port, is probably the most 81
lent man afoat. Sailors who have been
with him many months say they never
heard him speak. He writes his orders to
his officers, and if they fail in carrying
them out, he reprimands them in writing.
Yet he has the reputation Of being one OF
the most skiltul and prudent captains Of
the Cunard line, and remarkable for his
powers of personal endurance. When at
sea he rarely leaves the deck, night or
day, more than an hour at time, and
nothing appears to escape his notice.
Still he does not speak, either to his Off
GERS or passengers On a recent passage
two wags, who were passengers in isship,
noticed this peculiarity, and at dinner
one day, were quite eloquent upon the
blessings Of speech, and then, by way Of
contrast expressed their deepest commis-
Grafton for dumbeS One Of the wags
was so overcome by his feelings that he
deliberately took an onion from hi. pock
ct and applied it to his right eye, while
he gazcd at Capt Stone with the left
"Poor, dear gentleman" he sobbed, as
the tears followed the onion, II wonder
if he is deaf as we'll as dumb This was
too much for the passengers; who burst in
to a roar of laughter, in which Capt.
Stone joined as heartily as the rest.
When order was restored he said, Gen
tleman, and Ladies, or Ladies and Gen
tIcmcn, | acknowledge that appear to
disadvantage by not speaking more than
| do ; but what would you have me to say!
1t is my constant care to see that you are
properly attended to in every particular
What more can you desire p After this
effort he resumed silence, and has not
been known to speak since,

What is Lager Reer.

To this, the oft repeated inquiry, the
n. Y. journal of Commerce replies: -
Lager Beer is matted liquor originally
made in Bavaria, its essential properties
identical with ordinary ale, which it
closely resembles in appearance, though
differing in taste; Of much less specific
gravity; weaker, aud retaining It's foam a
shorter time, after being drawn, It's
taste is subacid, punGent, and leaves in
the mouth a peculiar flavor caused by a
coating Of the pitch which the interior Of
the barrels receive before being filed
The difference between the modes of brew
ing lager beer and ordinary ale Is indica-
ted by the otymology Of the name Lager
meaning rest remaining in storcj the
former requiring to rest III cool vault
from four to six months before it become
drinkable, while the latter can be used
