disease, the beloved wife of w. H..
David, aged Is years.
The deceased was lady highly res
pected by all who enjoyed her acquaint-

gloom over the entire community. Her
death was sad one. Mr.. David had
been detained at his work in the har-
vest field until about 10 o'clock in the
evening, and upon entering the house
found everything in readiness for the
evening meal. The house was in dark
ness, however, and striking light Mr..

upon the bed to obtain some little rest,
while waiting for her husband, when

SHANGHAI CHARACTER.
A Farmers Opinion OF the Chicken Based
on Elaborate Experience.

A Farmers Opinion of the Chicken Based
on Elaborate Experience.
Shanghai chickens are born with an
iaordinate pair of legs, which continue
tS grow INTO regular drumsticks of the
lsngest dimx hsions. It is said that al
Though goodaayers, they are very fond
OF 'hevouring their own eggs. A
farmer who has tried them and found
them wanting gives the following ac-
count of their peculiarities. Their
true name, he says, is ''Shank-hieh, {"
and he pronounces them rightly
named.
They have no body at all, and when
the head is cut off the legs come right
apart. I don't see how they can set
on their legs-my jack-knife can set
as we'll as they can. They don't sit on
the roost the same as the other
chickens do; not bit of it. When
they attempt to sit as other chickens
do they fall off backward. They sit
when they eat. know, for I've seen
'em do it. And I've seen 'em try to
eat standing, but they couldn't fetch
it; for when they peck. at grain of
corn on the ground they don't more'n
half reach it, but their head hobs
right between their legs and makes
'em turn complete somerset. I'd as
soon see a pair of tongs or COM
passes walking about my yard as these
shankhighs.
They crow, too, long time before
day, when it isn't day. Probably be-
cause their legs are SO long that they
can see daylight long before COM
mon chicken can.
