CorSsELLos 7. H. Healy has been
chosen by his compatrlots OF the Emerald
Isle and their american descendants in
Virginia City, to The honorable and fat
.erinG Office of poet on s.. Patrick s
Day. His theme will be the grandeur
and glory OF the "Ould Counthry;' the
valor of her sons: and the virtue Of her
daughters. The Counsellor is able TO
handle the subject. He is au fait in
verse, and eloquent. We have enjoyed
some of his poetry; and there are many
O! orr fellow townsmen who are not IN
familiar with his artistic productions.
We base our Judgment on the merits of
his Chicago Fire and the graphic
touches of his Tahoe Legend" when
We predict for him a brilliant success on
St. Patrick's Day in Virginia.
" TRIsTLs1oN's JOLLY GIANT" is the

once the ''Tomahawk and Punch Of the
Pacific Coast, with the former to scalp
his foes, with the latter to invigorate his
friends" These are red-hot words, to
be sure. The copy before Us contains
some lawful" satirical caricatures. The
fierce editor goes after the Catholics with
u very sharp stick, and promises hypo-
critical Protestant ministers q share of
his satire.

TEoEoUGHsRED CocEs AND PULLETs.-
Mr. Chas. E. Laughton, who is very
handy with Lis quill at the railroad
Office, and lives IN the new settlement
north Of the Y. & T. workshops, has the
finest lot Of fancy chickens ever seen in
these parts. We called up there, yes
teTlay, to see his pets, and we came back
wiser man il a fowl way. But
to the chickens, of which Mr..
Laushton has four different species. OF
the Buff Cochin breed he has siY puilets
ard one cock. They are beauties all
large, portly and symmetrical. The
cock is the finest ever seen. He is an
elegant rooster ''-nothing Of the hood
lum about him though. OF the White
Cochins there are a cock and five hens;
of the Light Brahmas there are a half
dozen hens and cock. All of these,
together with Eve hens and two cocks of
the Dark Brahma species, are termed,
in chicken vernacular, Asiatic. And
aow we come to another sort of cock-a
Spanish cock ana four puilets, all Of
which are pure-of the White Face
Elack Spanish family. These chickens
ate kept separate, according to their
difference in blood, and have delightful
quarters. Nr. Laughton brought them
