1T is convenient to have hens hatch
ing Mt tho same time; for not only if
accidents happen may the broods be
united. but on the Matching day, it
occurs that, to prevent the newly born
chicks being crushed by the eggs that
are behind time, we wish to give all
that are Matched to one hon, while the
other takes care of the eggs alone. Not
only does this give security to the chicks 8
who lnn great hazard of being crushed

prolonged space under their NC ther, but
the unmatched eggs also stand far

chickens under her she sits higher from

"CAR1o" was formerly a handsome
and good-natured Newfoundland dog,
belonging generally to the United
States steamer John F. Hartley, sta
toned at North Beaoh; but of late he
has shown disposition to insert his
inoisors in the calves of the legs of such
individuals as came into his presence
without suit Of broad. cloth on to be-
speak them as gentlemen. This partio-
ular abhorrence OF persons illy-dressed
gained so strong hold upon him as to
induce him yesterday to take chunk
Of flesh out of the leg OF one of the at
taches of the Hartley. simply on account
OF that individual happening to to have
on garments that were considerably
soiled in consequence of having been at
work cleaning machinery. The two
had, up to that time, been the best of
friends, but the bonds Of affection were
suddenly sundered and, after having
his legs tied together, Carlo was pitched
into the bay, and in the course of ten
minutes he was food for the fishes.
