A Wonderful Occurrence.

Eggs Hatched by the San.-The Lam
caster hteNgeRcer says: On the llth'
of July, as the wife of Bernard Byrne, a
nightly respectable farmer, residing near
the Buck, in Drumore township, was GO
ing through field near the house, she
found a nest with seven chicken eggs in
it. To save the eggs from the does she
put them in a basket and stood it in the
kitchen on table beside curtained WIN
dow. The basket remained undisturbed,
and eight days Gfter'car7s, as the family
were taking meal, they were startled by
the peculiar cries of young chick. O1
investigation it was found to proceed from
lively youngstcr in the basket. In the
course of twenty four hours six chickens
were hatchcd out, and are now growing
finely. This story is true, and is vouch-
ed for by Mr. Bryce and his neighbors,
by whom the birds are called Sun chick
ems" This is certainly novel idea in
chicken raising, and one the like ofwhich
we conceive was never heard tell Of be-
FORE The sun has been shedding its
heat rather roughly on Us of late, bat we
did not think it was tempered so accur-
ately to the hatching point. 1t is suppos
ed that hen had been setting on the
eggs some time before Mr. Byrane found
the nest, and that the cnrtain of the win
dow tempered the suns heat to the pro-
per degree
Mordl-Lancaster county is a wonder
full region. AS a producer of the fruits
of the earth it is unexcelled, and as q
hatcher of chickens occupies proud pre-
emience. 1t can't be beat.

expenditures above given, indicates the reg
ular and legitimate army expenditures for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1868, to
have been $50, of which no incon-
siderable part is justly chargeable to the ex-
penses attendant upon the existence of In
dian hostilities upon the plains, in the Sum-
mer and Fall of 1867, which largely and ex-
ceptionably augmented the cost of transpor-
tation and subsistence.

CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURES.
If we divide the total expenditure of the
last fiscal year into ''ordinary expenses" or
those which are required to support and
maintain the government, and "exiraordina-
ry expenses" or those which have been the
unavoidable results of the war, we have the
following classification
