HENS CHANGING TO RoosTERs.-The Prattville
(Ala.) Statesman Of the sth inst publishes the fol-
lowing communication, and the editor youches for
the yeracity Of the writer:
In your last number you copied from the Tuskegee
Republican communication respecting the hen
rooster This has had general notice from newspa-
pers. In confirmation Of the above will state that
similar freak Of nature occurred on my place four
teen years since. When purchased the place also
purchased the poultry. The hen of which am to
apeak-one Of the number how old she was at the
time Of her purchase can't say from all appearances
she was an old hen-she, however, laid eggs and
Matched out several broods of chickens. Finally she
plumed herself afesh and assumed the appearance Of
young rooster. The metamorphose was SO complete
that most persons at loss decide whether she
was male or female She crowed different from
either; her voice being as clear as that Of rams
horn, but not as much volume. She would side up
to the hens and put on all the airs of rooster but
the hens always evaded her and seemed to look upon
her as an anomaly, indeed, as she was. This is liter
ally true, and dare say the editors of this paper,
who know the writer Of this, will youch for its
correctness.

PROFESSIONAL RAr.CArHERs.- day last week
in travelling through Salem county in stage coach
we had for q feowpasseHger a professional rat.
catcher. He was an Englishman, and had imported
from the old country number of ferrets, which he
used in his business. He had visited great many
farmhouses in the county, and killed several thousand
rats, the farmers paying him whatever they might
think proper for his services. These little animals
will track rat the same as dog does rabbit and
after driving them to the end Of their burrow, dis
patches them with astonishing rapdity Many Of the
farmers in that section of the State for want Of barn
room stack their grain in the fields and frequently
when they want to the grain find that it has been
pretty well thrashed out by the "varmints." It is
here the ratcatcher doubles his profits for in addition
to his pay he manages by spreading net around the
stack to secure large number Of the longtaed dep
redators aye in which state ready sale is found for
them at shilling head. The rats smell the ferrets
as they brought anywhere near their loca-
ton and very frequently before they are let loose in
barn. the rats will commence leaving. The ferrets
are tame, and the owner informed us that he rarely
experienced any difficulty in securing them after
starting on track. Trenton On. J.) Democrat.

importance over the Ten Brock Course this spring.
Mr.. jackson, of Tennessee having made proposition
to Mr. T. W. boswell, of Virginia, to bet $l008e on
two Of his Tennessee three year olds-naming his
horses against any two three year olds Mr.. boswell
might name from his Virginia stables the race to be
RIM on the Ten Brock Course. The latter gentle.
announced from the stand yesterday that be ac-
cepted the proposition, condition that the race
should be run over the Washington Course, Charles
tom on the LIST of March, He stated that he selected
the Charleston Course because his next engagement
was in Charleston, and after that in New Orleans,
and he desired to avoid the trouble of returning to
Savannah with his horses. Mi. Jackson preferred the
Savannah Course, and up to the time we left the
Course yesterday, there was no agreement.
