Owing to their late successes aud their
inclination to Free Trade our Democratic
friends may be inclined to eat rooster in
stead Of turkey, today, but we advise them
not to do it. The rooster is not an Amer
can bird; he is an importation from Eu-
rope, and there is nothing about him to in
spire patriotism or pride of country, while
the turkey is native of America, with not
drop of foreign blood in him. Be true
Americans today, keep your roosters to do
the Growing, and eat turkey.

dealer of McKeesport, who shot and killed
his maiden aunt with whom he lived some

clerking for McKeesport firm, and was
rooming with young man named Vankirk,
who was the partner of Myers in business.
