Afterward, when she got well, the school
boys used to amuse themselves by feeding
corn to this hen, and in seeing a part of the
corn fall out. She was always very hungry.
When hens eat up their eggs it is be-
cause they do not have proper food. Lime
Is OF no advantage whatever, because sufh-
Gent lime to form the shell will be elabor-
ated from proper food, and all other parts
OF the egg in proper quantities. 1t is
lact mat as population and poultry in
crease, the shells of the eggs grow thin.
The shells of eggs coming from the West
are thicker than of eggs procured in the
East.
The Baraboo Republic SAYS: F" A letter
from Arthur Clark to his friends here, from
Blackhawk Point, Colorado, relates the fol-
lowing tragic incident Two young men
came to their death here in very singular
manner. They, were playing cards for
amusement One of them beat the other
four or five games. The loser remarked !:
1t you beat me again [ will shoot you
Remember, they were playing for no stake;
they were never known to have cherished
hl-feeling toward each other, and neither
appeared excited. The game terminated
as had the preceding ones. True to his
threat, the loser at once shot his opponent,
killing him, and was himself at once strung
up by the by-standers to the tree under
which they were playing. In ten minutes
from the first indication of quarrel be-
tween them they were both dead. ~. -

Andy Johnsoo, in the opinion Of some,
Radicals even, has been of immense adj
vantage to the country. Gen. r. H. Mil
roy, in the following letter to friend in
Rensselaer,, expresses this belief. He
says:
allow splendidly Congress is coming up
to the work of reconstruction, under the
Administration OF tho traitor johnson.
Thank the Lord for that traitor scoundrel.
He was Just as necessary TO the plan of the
salvation of our country as the traitor Jul
das was in the plan of the Worlds saliva
ton. What would now have been the sit
uation Of our Government had not the
sickly seniimentalism, mot the magnaninl-
ity and humanity OF the Union party been
checked i'm its reckless, headlong career
by the trcachery of Johnson? The whole
brood of rebel States would have been ad-
mltted back without any safeguards for
loyal men, whites and negroes, and Con
gress would have been filled with bowling
traitors. I say bully for Johnson, the
right man in the right place"

A Washington dispatch says: The
Surrat court room, since the defense
began, has been little more than a
place where the hate and venom of
Washington secessionists have had
full vent. Bradley said to-day in

eminent officials, meaning Holt and
Stanton, and the Court, had disgaced
themselves by their method OF
CARRYING on the case. A fact
concerning Merrick, which shows it
to he fitting that he should defend in
this case, and which accounts for the
animus of his course, came to light
to day. A friend of his arrived here
today, to whom Merrick stated
during the war that the people of the
Northwest were ready to follow him
down to Washington to help hang
the despot, Lincoln. Judge Pier
pont will begin the closing argument
tomorrow.

The Maryland Constitutional Con-
vention, whose rebel poclivities are
well known, persistenly refuses to
adopt a clause declaring slavery abol-
ished; but instead declare that it
shall not be re established, and that
the United States ought to pay for
the slaves emancipated. The same
claim is still put forth in Kentucky,
And if the present generation of
Democratic politicians should ever
get into power, these claims would
certainly be allowed, thus saddling
the nation with an immense addition
to its debt. All the talk about taxa
ton and the public burdens is insin-
cere, while they hold out the threat
of so largely increasing them, by
means of these claims for slave com
pensation.

But we hope the leaders will not despond
