A Chicken Lives without
HIPRh. -

Mr.. Whit. Herr, of this city, has
shown us o letter from q relative IN
San Francisco, giving an account OF a
rooster that had his head chopped off
on the 2Sth of FEBRUARY, and was alive
at the date Of the letter-March 22-
and walking around as largo rs life -
The history Of this wost wonderful of
fair is briefly this: On tho 28th of
Febuary, the cook Of q restaurant in
San Francisco, decapitated three roos-
tors, and on going out into tho yard
again in few moments, aftorward, he
could find but two chickens. On
looking around moro closely, he dis.
coyeres the missing rooster walking
around without his head --.
Tho proprietors Of the restaurant
were acquainted with tho wonderful
circumstance, and thoy immediately
had the rooster taken care OF, and fed
him boiled milk by means Of q small
tube inserted in Tho throat. Strange
rs 1t may seem, the rooster was thirty
ing nicely, and the severed mock had
nearly healed over. The chicken was
placed on exhibition In a popular gar
den IN San Francisco, and thousands
OF people were admitted daily to see IT,
The correspondent, from whose lotter
we derivo these items, saw and critical
ly examined this headless rooster, and
cortifies to the truth of tho relation -
We have heard no theory advanced TO
account for this passing strange case.

There are great many people who en-.

who accordingly fancy that the monarchy
will soon come to an end. But Boston
writer mentions the rather startling eireum-
stance that II, she lives as long as her grand.
father, George III. her reign will extend
into the twentieth century. Though the
Queen has been nearly thirty years on the
throne, she is not yet forty-nine years Of
age; and should she prove as long-liyed as
were all others OF the Hanoverian British
soVereigns, she will remain on the throne
long after the greater part of this generation
have passed away. The Boston writer fur
nishes the following curious data; George

50, George ~. at 6S, and William ~.
at the age OF ". They are 3 longliyed

longest reign In English history. He was
81 years, months, and l6 days old when he
departed this life, and the same number Of
years, months, and days vouchsafed to
Queen Victoria would cause her death to
fall on the 4th OF January, l90l.p As no
