Life in the Country.
AN EXPERIENCE AS TOLD BY THE DAM
BURY NEWS.


The city man who goes into the
country to spend the summer must
make up his mind to learn something
of the routine of rural life. A New
York man who is spending the hot
weather season with a family on Pine
street, was asked BY the lady OF the
house if he would take hen off the
nest, as it wanted to set, and she didn't
want it to. "Certainly," said he, and
Immediately started out to the barn
where the hens we're kept, to crush
out the maternal prospects OF this par
ticular one. He went straight to
the nest to lift her off, and reached
out bis hand for that purpose, but i'm
mediately drew il back again, and
tucked it up under the other arm, and
squeezed it little, while be drew up
his lips as if about to whistle some
thing. Then he stood there and
stared at the hen, and she lifted up
her head, and stared back Mt him,
winking her eyes with singular veloc
ity. "Get off, won't you 7" said he,
after pause. She made no response.
He drew out bis hand and looked at
red spot on one of the knuckles, and
then put the knuckle N his mouth to
cool it, looking all the while at the
hen, and wondering how on earth she
moved SO quickly. The longer he
eyed her, the less inclined he felt to
touch her, and finally he climbed up a
post to beam which ran over the
nest, and working his way out on II
till he got just above the hen, took off
his hat and shook it at her, and I'D
vised her to get. But she only looked
up at him, one eye at a time, and
clucked ominously. He told her il
she didn't leave he would come down
there and kick her through the baro,
but Immediately gave up the blood
thirsty design when he reflected that
it was dumb animal, and couldn't
reason like human being. Then he
happened to think of his pants, which
were white linen, and rubbed his fin.
gers on the beam to find them full of
black DUST which led him to work his
body around to look at the pants, and
while making this very natural move,
he suddenly slipped, made plunge
to renew his hold, shrieked for help,
slipped again, and came down on top
of the hen and the nest, smashing
them both to the floor, upsetting a
barrel, and filing the air with dust,
feathers, hen noises, and shrieks.-
When the family reached the barn, the
unfortunate man, looking something
like circus poster on legs, had got
on his feet, and was turning around,
and rubbing his head in an abstracted
manner, and every time he turned, an
omelette on white linen base came to
view, while the hen stood up in the
furthest corner on ono leg, with. u
look of mingled astonshmcnt and re-
proach on her countenance. Af.er
five minutes of industrious application
with chip, the gentleman was escort
ed into the house, whore his head was
bathed with spirits, and his comfort
generally attended TO.

The charge preferred by Mr.. +. G. Ma
han against f. b. Benton, came up this
morning before Recorder HoughtOn.-
The case is that two warrants belonging
to MI Mahan had been changed inadver-
tentlv with Il lot of others, by Mr.. Levy,
into bonds, and when the mistake was dis
covered, although Mr.. Levy explained
how the accident had occurred, and though
the Accommodation Bank offered TO give
MT. Mahau other warrants more valuable
or give him the money, yet Mr.. Mahan de-
clined the offer and preferred charge of
embezzlement.
without hearing single witness for the
defense, Recorder Houghton, of his own mo
ton, on the testimony of Mr. Mahan, dis
missed the charge rs without any foundation
for a criminal proceeding.
