AN EGG WITHIN AN EGG. OF late the hens
have been INDUCING in some extraordinary
feats. 1t is no; long since remarkably pro-
lihc hen in Harvard county astonished her
owner by producing from four 10 nine eggs
day, and keeping up the performance for a
number Of days in succession. She has had
many aspiring imitators in all parts of the
country, but as yet there has been no well
authenticated case that comes up to her daily
average. On Saturday hen belonging to Mr.
VIM. Hall, of Baltimore, laid an egg of I'M
usual size. The circumference, taking the
major axis as diameter, was 81 inches. Its
weight was Al ounces. Yesterday the egg was
broken, and TO tie great surprise of the lady
who intended TO use il in baking it contained
another egg within the she'll The interior
egg was suspended in a sack Of abumen pre-
cisely similar TO the substance called the
white" Of the egg, and when taken out WAS
found to be something larger than an ordina-
ry egg. Its weight was a trfle over two
ounces, whereas the common run of eggs sold
in the markets weigh abont one and three
quarter ounces. The shell was as hard rs il
usual IN newly-laid eggs, and when broken
the white and yok were found to be normal
and perfect In every respect. Possibly this
freak OF nature is not Of rare occurrence, but
no such hens egg, either in size, weight OF
interior structure, was ever before seen abou,
Mr.. HalVs premises The breaking of the two
coneentric eggs and the weighing and III,
measuring Of each was witnessed by one o.

The County Commissioners last week made
a loan of "a, 400 of county funds on a mort

has several thousand dollars yet in bank, and
there is perhaps 500, 900 yet on the collector
books for rs and III. 1t is likely the county

Republicans have shown their evaporation by
publishing a manifesto declaring the resolu-
ton to be the foundation for revolutionary
expulsion of the President from Office and
calling all anti-rebellion people to the support
of the party. No Republican who loves peace
honesty and the prosperity of his country
will coincide with the sentiment OF this mani
festo or heed its call. Nor need the Democrats
fear any dreadful consequences from it Similar
threats drove Mr. Tilden from the White House.
If stern position had been taken then this
trouble to keep pure the pages Of The history
Of the country would have been avoided now
By all means let the investigation proceed If
there have been no frauds committed, It is all
the better for the Republicans; if there are
frauds, let the perpetrators suffer. Revolu-
tion-not to murder the country's citizens,
but with the olive branch of peace TO sxtri-
cate those evils that have been gnawing at the
very vials of the country, destroying happi.
ness and prosperity-is absolutely necessary to
the prosperity of business. 1t must come soon,
too or else we perish in our present state
Better times would be brought about if the
the Republicans would unite to assist in the
suppression of such frauds and robberies as
have been perpetraied in this country. If
their unsupported, absurd opposition would
cease II their mobbing disposition to main
tain power could be checked, no war amongst
the people would ever take place.
