fifty fowls for market since the prac-
tice of scalding has been vetoed by the
buyers. have known persons ol,

dozen women and boys pulling few
feathers at a time between thumb and

Now, for the benefit of such, / give our
plan: Hang the fowl by the feet by i,
small cord; then, with small knife
give one cut across the upper jaw, ol-
positc the corners of the mouth after
the blood has stopped running astrcanl,
place the point Of the knife In the
groove in the upper part ofthe mouth,

Wedding Out0t.
Three miles this side OF Bellveille, ON
the main route which connects that
city with Fast st. Louis, is the well
known Offlick farm, at present occu-
pied and titled by . family Of well-to
do agriculturalists, well known in that
part of the country.
The flower Of this family was q fine
looking maiden, blooming with genu-
inc country health aud spirits, Some
months ago this maid was wood by an
aspiring shoemaker of this city, but
the parents frowned, and all inter-
course between the lovers was posit-
lively forbidden. The manipulation Of
leather remained true: SO did the girl.
It was in fact, the case of two soles,
with but a single upper, and the result
was = resort TO strategy.
Last summer the maiden began to
pine away, and through judicious
dict, placed herself in the interesting
condition Of a failing invalid. Mag
gie's health became matter of great
solicitudc, and the anxious friends
gladly complied with the whims OF
the sick one.
Strange to say, she became possess
ed of an unaccountable hankering of.
ter new dresses and clothes of every
description. These articles were got
as fast as called for and taken to the
sick chamber, where for six days out
Of the week, Maggie lay helpless.
Medicines and doctors were alike uil-
awaiting, but as often as Sunday came
around, the maiden would brighten M
wonderfully, and would insist ON 60
ing to Bellevill to church.
This strange state OF things contin-
ued until almost the commencement
Of the great fair woek. One bright
afternoon stylish buggy was seen
near the OfIlick farm. That evening
when thoughtful friend went up to
the sick chamber with something to
tempt the inyalids's appetite, the room
was empty.
There were lamentations all that
night on the Ofiiick farm, The maid
en- had fled. taking with her trons-
seau which any shoemaker's wife
might envy for its quality and COM
pieteness, and the mystery ofthe styi-
ish rig lettering on the road was ex-
planned; sOwerc the honrsof solitude
in the sick chamber, the Sunday
church-going--in short the whole plot.
Tho fore handed tillers of the soil,
on the Olliick farm, visited the Fair,
but they strayed about the ground
more intent on scanning every fair
young face, than seeing all the attrac-
tions from A TO class |. Maggie's 8
whereabouts are yet unknown.
