They are true to the letter. and suitable

altogether necessary 10 the onward roll

was the signal for general fight. Chairs,
tables. pistols and bowie knives were at

A PATENT DECEPTIVE HEN 5 NEsT-This
is one of the most ingenious contrivances
o: the age, and is the invention of down
cast Yankee. The design is TO deceive
poultry into the speedy and liberal lay
ing of eggs. which is accomplished by :he
peculiar construction of the machine. -
At the bottom of the nest there is a ira D
do,r which works on hinge being sup
ported by a spring. The moment an egg
is pla ced on this. the trap opens. and let's
it fall through into a cushioned apart
ment prepared for its reception. The
consequence is. that the bird, lust as She
is preparing to cackle. gances at the nest
and seeing nothing. actually reasons her
self into the belief that she has not laid
at all. and resumes her position on the
nest. in hopes of making more success
ful effort. On the first trial of this GU
rious contrivauce, before the Commission
er Of Patents to test its virtues. a singu-
lar result was effected. A large impor-
ted Russian hen was located on the nest
and left to her meditations. On account
of pressing business. the hen was forgot
ten until the next day. when. TO the utter
establishment of the Commissioner, and
even the inventor himself. on examining
the nest. they found clhing but a pair
Of claws. bill and a bunch of feathers;
the mystery was explained. however. up
on examining the chamber beneath. in
which they found half buShel of eggs.
Two Irishmen. who were travelling to-
gether. go, out Of money. and. being in
want of a drink Of whiskey. devised the
following ways and means.
Patrick, Cd itching a frog out Of brook.
went ahead. and at the very first tavern
he came TO. asked the landlord what sor,
of a crater that was7
III is frog" replied the landlord.
mo sir. said Pat. IL is mouse"
''lt'sa frog" presisted the landlord.
''lt is a mouse, declared Pat, and
will leave it to the first traveller that
comes along for pint of whiskey."
Agreed said the landlord
Murphy soon arrived. and to him was
the appeal made. After much examina-
tion and deliberation he declared it to be
a mouse, and the land ord, in spite Of his
senses, paid the bet.
