strange II True-A chIeken alive


The Dayton Journal tells the follow
ing story, which we reproduce, with
permission to our readers to believe
just as much or as little as they please:
Mr.. Whit. Herr, OF this city, has
shown us a letter from relative in
San Francisco, giving a account Of a
rooster that had his head chopped of
on the 2Sth of February, and was alive
at the date of the letter-March 22d-
and walking around as large as life f!
The history of this most wonderful af-
fair is briefly this: On the 18th of Feb
rnary, the cook of q restaurant in San
Francisco, decapitated three ROSTERS,
and on going out into the yard again a
few moments afterward, he could
find but two chickens. On
looking around more closely, he dis
covered the missing rooster walking
around without his head. The proprie-
tors of the restaurant were acquainted
with the wonderful circumstances, and
they Immediately had the rooster care
fully taken care of, and fed him boiled
milk, by means of a small tube insert
ed in the throat. Strange as 1t may
seem, the rooster was thriving nicely,
and the severed neck had nearly healed
over. The chicken was placed on ex-
hibition in a popular garden in San
Francisco, and thousands of people
were admitted daily to see 1t. The cor
respondent from whose letter we derive
these items, saw and critically exam
ined this headless rooster, and certities
to the truth of the relation. We have
heard no theory advanced to account
for this passing strange case.

A CYNICAL journalist says the reason
so many marriages occur Immediately
after war is, that bachelors become SO
