ALL About a Chicken of the Masculine
Gender!-DOme Comedy Result
ing i'm a Tragedy for the Aforesaid
Bird-IDiury 10 One of The Parties
Events in themselves trivial and unim-
portant frequently are the occasion, or at
least the cause of momentous events. The
elopement, for example, of the bewitching,
though rather tickle beauty, HELEN, with
that gay and festive youth, Paris, was moth
ing unusual or strange; yet the great
Father of Poetry assures us that the afore-
said occasiOned the Trojan war, in which
men were killed, and the Gods, like the ma
jority of our preachers, took sides in the
contest. The fall Of an apple is still less
trivial, yet seen by the eye of Newton,
led him to discover the law of gravitation
in obedience to its fall. The fall of chick
en-, its capture and death, are so customary,
especially on or about Thanksgiving day,
that no regard is paid to the fate of the un-
fortunate biped. Occasionally, however, the
tragic death of a chicken, although unla-
mented by the muses., is lamented by ones
neighbors. The distinction between ''me-
am et tuum" is not always observed. .. q .
\ On the 2Sth inst. certain lady became
the proprietor of two chickens, having pur-
chased the same for good and valuable
consideration in market. One of the said
birds intuitiyely prognosticating his, i'm
pending fate, absconded and took refuge on
the premises of Teuton in the vicinity.
Friend of the owner gives chase, deter
mined to bring back the fugitive. Teuton's
wife sees man taking chickens from her
premises; calls John, and informs him that
larceny has been committed on the person
of her chicken, whom she raised from
youth. John follows. determined to recap
ture his wiies feathered favorite. But,
alas for human hopes; he arrives only in
time to see his wife's bird, as he thought, in
vessel minus head, and its once gorgeous
plumage being subjected to boiling water.
john was bent on having the bird dead or
alive, and Ittering a few blessings In Ger
man on the executioner, he seized the inani-
mate remains of the bird-but the amiable
lady and true owner thereof seized that
terrible weapon, the kettle, and dashed its
seething contents over the rotund person Of
the unfortunate John. The first bound
John made was towards the ceiling, the next
towards the door closely pursued by a
broom stick in the hands of the aforesaid
lady. John did not get the chlcken-but
he did get scalded rather severely. Result

Thanksgiving day was generally OBJ
served by the citizens of Columbus. The
stores were closed, the manufacturing es-
adjustments were still, and the bells from
every steeple called the church-going por-
ton of the community from labor to pray
er. We believe all the places of worship
were open, dscourses delivered on different
subjects by their various pastors, and many
were the thanks that went from 1--WE trust)
contrte and pious hearts to the Giyer of
all earthly blessings. The private thanks
giving parties were numerous, and the fes-

most every household, from the richest to

landladies iof the several hotels exeelled
themselves in inventing and putting before
their guests the most enticing Of cunning
combinations. The generous hospitality of
all exhibited itself in the innumerable
invitations to dine passing between friends
meeting on the streets. The two houses Of
amusements were patronized literally.

HOW on Illgh street

Early on Thursday merning great cx-
element prevailed on High street, between
Town and Rich streets, caused by young
man by the name of Elliott, maltreating
and abusing his father, Mr.. S. p. Elliott, a
Baker, an industrious and worthy man,
The young man was intoxicated and mad
dened to fury by the fumes of bad whisky,
and went in for general breakup. Marshal
Murphy, assisted by others, finally succeed
ed in capturing him and transferred him
to the calaboose. This had the effect of
quieting his disposition. We learn that
his father, despairing of the reformation OF
his son, has taken him East for the pur-
pose of placing him in the service of the u
s. Navy. This is a situation well calculated
to subdue unrulY youths-the discipline is
severe, but has salutary influence.

NeuraIgia.

A correspondent writes to us that, having
derived great benefit from asimple remedy
for neuralgia, he thinks it ought to be made
public. He says he has suffered for over
twenty years from attacks of severe neu-
ralgia In the legs, sometimes almost caus-
ing lameness. Medical treatment, change
of air, and other remedies being without
effect, he tried change of clothing, and
wore very heavy, warm, red, net wOolen
drawers, and this relieved him. Our cor
respondent states his opinion to be, that a
large amount of theneuralgia cases now SO
common, might be relieved by extremely
warm wooden clothing, and says that even
the heaviest and most expensive silk will
not answer Philadelphia Ledger.

If the blood is thin and acrid healthy bile

important thing for the debilitated anddysi

fier not only purities and enriches the blood,
but adds the great principles which give il
power to resist disease. Mild, yet power
tul, and so peculiarly successful in its oper-
alton that a few bottles taken in conjunc-

Shocking Murder in Portage

Leader of murder that was committed
near Magadore, on the line between Sum-
nit and Portage counties. on Monday morn
ing. His story is as follows: 1t was report
ed that Mrs. Musson had put in cireula-
ton various rumors discreditable to the
character of Mrs. Roofe and her daughter
living in Magadore. Whether there is any
foundation for them we are not informed,
but son of Mrs. Roofe, young man about
nineteen years of age, became greatly in
censed at Mrs. MussOn on this account, and

him, he went to her residence. Her chill

diately, and up to the time our
informant left ehe had not been ar
rested. Officers have gone from this CITY
to assist in securing the murderer If posi-
BILE. He served three years in the Twenty
ninth Ohio regiment, and is said to be a
desperate character. Mrs. Musson was
about thirty-five years of age, and was liv-
ing with her second husband, to whom she
was married over dozen years ago. She
was the mother of three children, and was
a sister of VIM. andJ r. Buchtel, of Ak
ron, gentlemen prominently known in the
business circles of that place. She possess
ed much refinement of character, and was
the exempiication of many of the graces
and the purity of true womanhood. She
was universally esteemed and beloved by
those who knew her. Her tragic death is
the cause of much sorrow in the eOmmuni-
ty, and great excitement prevails upon the
subject throughout the neighborhood.-

audience who appreciated Miss Westerns
rendition of the character of Mrs. Haller
