A new way to display ones wares,
a trick of the trade we suppose.
Reader, how would you advertise
your poultry to passers by, if you
wanted to sell it?
Why of course, just like Bunch
and Judkins do, before their door.
They have only one chicken, and
they keep him swinging in a small
cage suspended in mid air.
A jaybird sat on a swinging limb,
He winked at me and 1 winked

Should be Preserved.

The Historical Societies of the differ
ent counties are gathering up the Incl
dents in their early history. Whether
messages Of Erie county have heretofore
secured the following narrative of the
manner in which the early settlers of
Sandusly city were once rescued from
the pangs of famine we do not know,
but discovering the following notice in
an old copy of the Cleveland Herald, we
give it to our readers that it may pass
into the archives of the county society if
not already there.
The Inhabitants of the village were
seriously threatened with famine. AT
that time there were large numbers of
wild hogs in the adjacent woods, that
were in the habit of coming down to the
bay for water. Owing to the vast fields
of white fire. sand on the shore the hogs
became blind. In their extremity they
were obliged to select q leader that had
partial sight, blind hog taking his
tail in his mouth, another his, and SO on
till long line was formed, then the first
mentioned would lead the drove to the
bay to drink. One of the villagers,
bearing the euphoneous name of John
Smith, conceived the brilliant idea OF
making his name famous, as well as le-
gion, by a mastery deed Of charity.
He, therefore, with trusty rifle in hand,
repaired to the haunts of the wild hog.
Having secreted himself he awaited the
approach of the drove. As the leader
came abreast of him, he fred, severing
his eapdle appendage close to his body.
His leadership stood not upon the order
of going, but broke ranks and fed. Our
hero quickly stepped forward, taking
hold of the amputated tail still in the
mouth of the now foremost hog, led the
innocent drove not where quiet waves
laved the pebbly shore, but within the
corporate limits of the famishing village
Of Sandusky, and by this strategy saved
his people.
