recently by poultry thieves, who break into their
hen houses, and generally steal all that they can

now on the trail Of some Of them. The law sell
dom reaches these thieves, because the owners
cannot well identify their property after 1t has
been plucked. A gentleman in the Second Ward
had bis hen house robbed two nights ago of a
number Of hens Of a valuable breed; the thief did
not scruple to take sitting hens from their nests,
and only left one venerable rooster. Last night a
similar robbery was perpetrated In the same ward
the thief killing and bleeding the chickens right
at the owners door. Several other persons have
been robbed, and the frequency of the thefs indi-
