A wager was made, sometime since in
Washington city with a man that he could
not eat 30 patridges in as many days. A
correspondent gives the following account of
the attempt on the last bird related by the
eater, and also notice Of the man himself:
At first the bird seemed of ordinary size
and palatable enough. Then 1t began to
grow In his Imagination; first the size of
pheasant; then a full grown chicken then
turkey; then an ostrich then a-a-

pre-Adamise era? No matter; the bird
lived, and that thirtieth pa.ridge looked like
it, while Its responsiveness exceeded that of
boiled crow. Ia attempting to bolt that final
bird the man Of the wager trembled; knife
and fork beat a tattoo en- the china ); great
sweat DROPS burst from his brow; and worse
than Fenian ealu'e arose in his stomach, bar
Reading the passageway, and growing def

ridge. But the hero of twenty-nine birds
was d. termined to win or die in the attempt;
so he leis; rey proceeded to carve, land with
