there is no dispute as to the face OF the

that there must be the most absolute

An emigrant who arrived here night before

chickens which he brought all the way from
Iowa. They were purchased by two chicken
fancers, Clay Merritt and p W. Cunning

to friends. Yesterday they invited two or
three acquai"tances 10 look at the birds and
ere horriied upon reaching the coop to find
it empty. They swore like sailors, and
threatened to prosecute everybody about the
Lafayette Hotel for stealing. Threats
having no effect, they offered a reward of
drinks for the crowd for the recovery of the
chickens. Shortly after this announcement
the chickens re-appeared in the coop, and
everybody drank to the propagation of
Bramahas at the expense of the owners.
