threw his strength to Mr.. Nixon. Mr..
Byerley's friends claim that in return
for this favor he was to be given the
deputyship, at salary of $75 month.

VIM. Murdoch, west of town two
miles, has on his place turkey gobbler
that wants to be hen. When his mate
had laid nest full of eggs preparatory
to raising a large respectable family,
that gobbler by force took possession
of the nest, drove the hen turkey away
and he staid there and Matched out the
entire flock of turklets. Even then he
would not give up his charge. but as
sumed full control of the flock, feeds
them and at night folds them under
his protecting wings. But this was
not the worst effect of the old gobbler
assuming maternal duties. He entire
ly neglected duty he owed another
turkey hen on the place and permitted
her to lay nest full of sterile eggs that
after six weeks sitting an only pro-
duced bad smell and no turklets.
