A hen belonging to Mr.. David Gilloek,
of This place, put herself at the head OF
her competitors few days ago, by laying
twin eggs. Both were covered only by a
thin but rather tough and almost trans
parent membrane, a pipe or tube of the
same material, about two inches thick
and as large in diameter as an ordinary
lead pencil, connecting the two, and
seemingly filed with albumen or the clear
white of the egg. One of the eggs is
nearly medium sized, and contains full
sized yolk, the other is not larger than a
partridge egg, and contains only the
white matter. If this hen would play the
same prank every day, and see to it that
both eggs were full sized and covered
with a good shell she would soon be more
valuable than the proverbial goose that
laid the supposed golden egg, but which
naturalists have recently discovered was
only fire gilt, and almost worthless except
for old brass at the junk shops.
Chief OF Police, VIM. H. Rosenberger,
of Mt. Jackson, was shot and danger
ously wounded by man calling himself
Won Ressler, who has been playing the
part of a COW boy and Wild West dss-
rerado around Mt Jackson for some
months. and who had married a woman
near that place. We learn that Won
Ressler had been drinking around the
town during the day, and IN the evening
conducted himself in such manner up
on the streets that warrant was issued
for his arrest and placed in Rosenberger' g
hands.
He arrested the fellow and started with
him for the mayors Office when the
scoundrel suddenly drew q pistol from
his boot and shot Rosenberger through
the neck, inflictIng a dangerous wound.
Won Ressler at once started IN the di
rection Of the North mountain, and al
though constable Jake Downey, one o
this county's best officers is after hin
be has so far escaped arrest, 1t is thu
earnest hope of every one that he will
soon be in the clutches of the law, as tn,
murderous brute who would thus in OolC
shoot down An officer who was simpl.
dscharging his duty, in order to escape
probable fine for his bad conduct is ia
too dangerous to be at large.
Our latest accounts report Rosenberge
az resting as comfortably as could be eX
pected, the ball having passed thr0ugl
the neck and lodged on the opposite sid
somewhere near the ear where it csnno
be exactly located.
