Alfred and Wash have caused the
Cuba great deal of trouble trying to
have their fowl case decided On its
merits. The case is this way: AL.
fred has a hen, and Wash has a
guinea-hen. The guinea hunted up
a nice place in the pine woods and
every day, for a couple Of weeks,
laid anegg in it. Alfred's hen found
the nest full of eggs, and converted
them into chickens. Both parties
claim the live stock. The other day
Wash appeared before the Club,
and spoke somewhat as follows:-
"I'm entitled to the brood Of gum.
cas-, cause my guinea hen laid the
eggs. The wear and tear of q layin'
guinea is immense, and the crop of
young guineas would not compen.
safe me for the disappointed feeling
Of the layer Of all those eggs, in not
being allowed to hatch her own pro-
duct.7 wide Electoral C ommission).
Then Alfred, a perfect picture of
/" injured innocence" spoke up: eff

hen amt to be taken into considera-
ton in this ere matter, then l amt
going to get justice, and justice I'm
going for to have. If he has any
claim on them 'cre foundling eggs,
what my hen found and made chick
ems out OF, Ill pay him the differ

And the question is still undecid-
ed.

but they were too lazy to vote:

DO MINICA.

From The People Is Jan. We take
the following notice of the state OF the
Boiling Lake district since the 4th
ult:
The eruption of the Boiling Lake
on Sunday forenoon, the 4th instant
has since left us in almost hopeless
ignorance of either our safety or peril;
whether the island may not at any
moment be engulfed; if not itself,
every one of its inhabitants at a mo-
ment's notice. We can only hope
under Divine Providence this will
not be consummated. 1t however is
a certainty, that where, before the
eruption, immense forest trees bloom
ed many feet high, waving their
proud heads athwart the highest noun
tain peaks, there now exists a desert
of lumpy sand, a chaos Of nature;
vast quantities of forest land being
for ever perhaps lost ; that is, as we
are at present advised.
As for the boiling lake, the region
was SO wild that two or three stalwart
pioneers were unable to approach the
now well known boiling lake, and
whether it exists as a burning volcano,
or whether it is filled with its boiling
water as heretofore, no one as yet
has been able to discover, except that
VOLUMES of smoke were seen in its
former focus.
The weather has ever since the
eruption been very lowery, with very
little sunshine, and showers of rain
falling every hour or SO. The Ro-
seau river is in a constant state Of
fretfulness, bearing as it now does
the burden of another river whose
course has been diverted into it.
We have all been living on this
volcanic isle so long and have taken
everything for granted, that our lives
are quite safe but had not the down
pour of rain taken place with the
eruption a few days since, this town
might have resembled those Of POM
pei or Herculaneum which were
overwhelmed by an eruption OF
Mount Vesuvius."
