Bearing the Egg Market.

A pet hen OF the Dominique breed, be-
longing 10 q family on Washington
street has determined to "beaf" the egg
market. During the winter when eggs
we're scarce aud sold for so cents dozen,
the festhersd pet stubbornly refused to
yield single nutritive ellipsoid, and in
fsct, probably not wishing to have her in
tsntions mistaken absolutely, abstained
from caokling single csokle, through
the long spell OF cold weather. On Tues
day, when the weather was considerably
warmer and the price Of eggs reduced, the
speckled creature mounted an ash barrel
and deposited two enormously large eggs
at single sitting. On Wednesday she
tried to come up to her
record OF the day previous and
suoceeded in bringing forth perfect egg,
ard another one without shell. Yes
terday morning being balmy, she took
her position on the barrel, where an egg
was deposited in tiue to be served for
breakfast. Encouraged by the result of
the lsbors OF the two previous days, the
Dominique resumed her place on the bar
rel again in the afternoon, when the
sudden gust OF cold wind sprang up.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere and
instinotively understanding that eggs
would probably advance IN price, she lett
her nest in disgust without bringing
forth any fruit, and regardless of her
record as double producer, she is evil
IDENTITY etermined to wait for warm
weather and low price of her product
before she can be induced to become q
producer.

Bowers & Dure's Dissolution.

" ith reference 10 the Bowers Dure &
Co.'s dissolution of partnership member
OF the irm states that the differences bs-
tween the partners are purely Of a private
sni personal nature. The fact OF there
being a serious disagreement between
Mr.. Bowers and Mr.. Dure is
admitted, as is also the fact that there ia
no possibility of both partners continuing
in the irm, and the only way it is
believed that the difficulty can be over
come is through one of the mem
bers of the firm purchasing the
interests OF the other. The matter
is now in course OF negotiation aud an
early settlement is anticipated. If this
ia made the works will promptly
resume operations. There are
already number of orders on
hand awaiting work to be resumed.
Mr.Dure stated Saturday morning that the
report OF the company's books being in
bad condition is untrue snd there are no
financial difficulties between the part
ners, A notice to the effect that
the firm had dissolved was
served upon Mr.. Bowers by Mr.. Dure
Friday afternoon and KvAn Rice was
placed in charge Of the latter's interests.
Mr.. Dure states tue notice of dissolution
was preliminary step toward settle.
ment of the partners difficulties. The
shops were closed Friday pending the
settlement.
