A New GAME.-Here is a new game very pop
ular in the country just now young man
takes chestnut, cuts round the hull with Il
sharp knife, and then takes one half the chest
nut in his mouth, and pretty girl the other
half in her mouth and they pull and the hull
comes on There may be quicker methods Of
hulling ohestnuts, but none more soothing to
the feelings of the young folks and they don't
get mad and dance wildly around il the hull
doesn't come of for Eve minutes or so. Coun-
try games are not to be despsed, after all.
