Marvellous Chicken Tale.

We learn that singular and very
amusing accident happened to the chick
ems of Mrs. Hamilton, near Portersville,
Upton county. Tennessee, few days ago.
Her husband bought bottle of brandy
cherries. After eating the cherries the
seed were thrown out, which the chickens
ate greedily. In short time Mrs. Hamil-
ton found that her chickens were all dead.
She told an old negro. woman that she
might pick the chickens and put the
feathers in her bed, which she did readi-
ly. After picking off the feathers she
carried the chickens out and threw them
away. Night came on, Mrs. Hamilton
was sorely grieved at her loss. Sleep soon
swept away her troubles. At early dawn
she was alarmed at hearing old chanticleer
Growing loudly and the hens csckling.
Judge her surprise when. on opening the
doors and looking out. she cav every hen
and rooster, yonng and old, grave and
gay, marching round eyeing each other
with suspicion, many Of them entirely
naked, while only . few had wing and
tail feathers. The cherry seed made them
"desd drunk"
