 A Wooster street man has 10 hens which have laid eggs day on an average for December and January up to the present time. Grocers have been there and paid 40 cents per dozen, other grocers are standing around on tiptoe waiting for the hens to lay. On the other hand Bradley street man has 16 hens which, as he says, ''don't lay for 8 cent, :" and it would startle him to see an egg, the whole 16 not having laid an egg or cack- led in two months.
 A fine game cock was stolen from one of Edward Ryan's coops yesterday, and re- ward is offered for it's recovery.
 The exhibition will continue to-day and evening, and also on Monday and evening.
