Blaine claims one secret marriage
IN Kentucky in June, 1850 and one
IN Pennsylvania in March, 1851. One
and one make two. But when did he
do the wife the honor of acknowl-
edging her TO the world! We copy

Blaine well and has no ill-will against
him:

he was married. | understood at one
time, and have heard ii reliably stated
often since, that during the simmer
of 1851 he courtcd at least one, and
possibly two ladies. This conduct OF
his can be easily proven. In March
of 1851 he was absent at Pittsburg
but returned and stayed through the
watering season, and after that taught
until December.

A Laying Rooster.
IMontezuma Record. ]

There has occurred phenomenon in the
barn yard of Mr.. j. j. Turner, that is mex
plicable-a veritable rooster laying eggs.
This sounds very queer, but Mr.. Turner and
his good lady says it is a fact, or else there
is some Unforeseen jugglery that they can
not understand. The rooster goes on the
nest every day, and after the functions OF
the hen have been performed, he comes off,
utters derisive cackle TO the rest of the
fowls and goes on about his business as
though nothing had happened. This pecul.
far fowl has been watched closely, and
be has been seen TO go ON the nest daily,
came of cackling aud there was the egg.
No hen was ever seen about the nest, and
the rooster was monarch Of that bailiwick
OR nest. This fowl has aroused the ad-
uiiration Of our soul, and is an exemplar
worthy OF the emulation OF the husband
man. He has seen the tolls and struggles of
the overworked and greatly oppressed hens
and has come to their rescue and is helping
them 20 supply the demand now seriously
felt in commercial ctrcles-and at the
boarding houses. lie cares nothing for a
p otection tariff, tariff for revenue only,
or free trade: his ooly desire is to meet the
demands for home consumption and 20 see
that the Christmas nog is net wanting.
What the country needs most Is few more
laying rcosters.
