Foxes are becoming 80 numerous

steal chickens, &c.-Post.
We always had our opinion of Bro.
Morgn being a "sly fox" and we are
surprised at him sounding the alarm.
Il took a great many chickens and
turkeys TO satisfy his appetite on
Thanksgiving day, for he was enthu.
siastically hungry over the Republi-

farmers henrOosts in his immediate
neighbOrhood suffered correspond
