Mr., Boxcrofl recently heard OF man
IN kennebnnk, who is the owner OF

Boxcrott Is very much interested in hens
himself, aud as these were the only ones
Of that particular breed Ia the country,
he thought he would like to have few
OF the eggs to put under hen that wanted
Ia set. So Thursday morning he took
the early train aud went over 10 kene-
bunk. He purchased dozen Of the eggs
which cost hin four dollars, aud taking
them ia paper bag, he started for the
depot. On bis way there, while walking
abstractedly along, making mental cal
culauon as to how much the eggs would
be worth to him, and speculatng on the
probabilities of getting two chickens out
of some of them, his feet came IN violent
contact with rock, aud he fell to the
ground with crash, knocking his hat
of into the mud, and causing total de-
s,rucuOn OF blk of the eggs.
sadly and aorowlully Mr., Borcrott
gathered up the remaining half dozen,
aud, slowing tbom away carefully la tha

across his arm, he proceeded on his way,

REAL ESTATE,

The past week has been one Of extreme dull.
ness Ia real estate. In fact nothing is doing,
owing to the uncertainty growing out OF the
financial situation and the possibilities OF Con.
gressional legislation. Rents reflect this condition
OF things. and engagements are mostly made on
tenant and largely for this year only, the expecta-
ton being that next year, with revival OF
higher rents. The season Is already so far ad-
vanced that but little can be expected this year OF
city property, the usual period OF SUBURBAN sales
ever and assuring TO holders OF New York realty,
that If able to hold on to their property, they are
certain sooner or later OF full return for their In
yestments.
