MATCHED BY CARA remarkable cat

lyo. From an carly ago she has displayed q
great fcrdncss for Matching out chickens. She
sets on esSs like sn old hen until the feathered
young break 'hs shell, and then she cares for
them es uffoei opaLoly az if they were orthodox
kittens. -Four families of chickens have been
hatohed bT this cat and sho is now busily CO.
gagged on the fifth, with very fair prospect O.
success. TIE animal is the property tt Mrs.
Leonard. az Intelligent Irish womsn who re
sides with her hus5ssd in outage at tho above
sddrcss.
A Herald reporter called at the house yes
terday afternoon to SEQ the wonder. In one
coruer ofthe k!tohen parti'ioncd eff from the rest
Of the room was a large bird cage, arouud which
q dGz,u chickens Uero struttiag sud pckipg up

stasHer; proportions cavericg four cggs, The
latter was disclosed to view as the reperter sp
proEcted the cage. and the latter lett her nest
her task, extending her body at full length over
the eggs acl completely hiding them. The
ohicScus shc had already brought into tao world
seemed 10 possess rs much f!ial affection
as is generally saosa by little chicks for
their natural mothers, and they prouetted
about the est in the rioat lsniar way, climbing
on her back, enjoying her wsrT, coat Of fur

Of her otf5prin2a. l. is re!sted that when hsr
f7st chicks appeared sho carried one of them by
he neck up the cellar stairs. Tho fl ,sh of tho
young bipod being worry tender md the journey
somewhat long blood soon flowed. Instead Of
devouring the chick after sho hsd tsetod its
blood she applied her tongue daily to the neck
until the wound healed.
The cat came TO Mrs Leonari's houss about
year ago unheraldod and unknown, and the next
day was found on nest of eggs deserted by \
hen, who should have beon setting. She was
driven of repeatedly for fear she would bresk
the eggs but, perasting in her purpose brought
forth a brood of chickens that sstonishcd tho
household. About q score Of chickens have been
brought into the world through her agency
eight of which survive. South Brooklyn hss

Phebe Reynolds.

In the grave yard at Neversink Flats,
in this county, are two graves, one COP
tanning the remains of Henry Reynolds,
who died in 1880, at the age of 80 years,
and one in which are those of his daugh-
ter, Phebe Drake, who survived her
father Is years, dying November 81,
1855, age SO. Their memory, always
green with the residents of that part of
the county, where tho one great story of
their lives is we'll known, has been par
ticularly revived by the recent publica-
ton in the Times of the sketch of Cladius
Smith and the Cow boys. 1t is q singular
fact that the story of Henry Reynolds
snd his daughter-the most intensely
thrilling and dramatic, a. it is Of all the
recitals that have come down from the
times made psrilous by the scourge of
the Highlands by the Tory marauders-
finds no place Of rec rd in the annals of
Orange county, except the one referred
to in the sketch Of the Times above
mentioned. This record is derivei en-
tirely from tradition, aud is as follows:
Henry Reynolds WAS Quaker, aud
was native of Westchester county.
In 1869 he married a descendant OF
Henry Fowler, An original owner of the
township OF East Chester. Reynolds
was then in the mercantile business in
Peekskill. In l777 he WAS one of the suf.
ferers by the burning Of that place by
the British, all his property being con
sG&iad. He escaped with his wife snd
five children, aud settled i'll Smiths
