A Clam Shell in the uen,. rbroat

A Waldo county farmer, on going to
his hen house the other morning, saw
one of his favorite hens lying on her
back, legs in the air and mouth wide
open, with all the appearance of being
dead, but on examination found half a
clam shell stuck in her throat. He took
the hen into the house. got a pair of pin
GERS, pulled out the shell, and the hen
came back to life and laid an unusually
big egg that day to show her gratitude.

THE SILVER BILL.
A Good Deal of Uncertainty as to the Next
Steps to be Taken in the House.

Good Deal of Uncertainty as to the Next
Steps to be Taken in the House.
WASHINGTON, June l9.-The silver bill
is now in possession of the clerk of the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures land he has no authority to sur
render its custody except upon order of
the house or of the speaker. No such
order has been made by the house, the
resolution merely expunging the state
ment OF the transaction from the journal,
and the speaker is not likely to recall it.
There is no record of the journal that any
reference of the measure has been made,
and therefore it is doubtful whether
q motion to discharge the committee of
the whole from further consideration of
the measure will be in order, or even
whether the committee on rules can re-
port the resolution fixing day for its
consideration. Chairman Conger will
refuse to take any action in dissonance
with the wishes of majority
of his committee. The journal of We'd
nesday, however, not having vet been
approved, some method may be devised
TO cut the gordiau knot which now binds
the silver bill, and some means may be
invented to relieve the house from its
present dilemma.
