"A hen belonging to strain Of pit
games noted for courage will do more to
cure cats of eating chicks than all other
remedies combined, says the Hartford
Times. Place tho cat where the hen can
exercise her fighting qualities on her for

game hen will fight hawk, cat, dog, or
even man, and she usually loses but

metal was actually buried and q church
Of England clergyman read the services
for the dead over 1t.

Birmingham now has 5000 names booked
for passage at an early date. The names
of those who desire to migrate to Liberia
are entered by the Society on the payment

Society, on his arrival there, gives him
three months rations and the Liberian
Government gives him twenty-five acres
of land. Those booked for future passage
are scattered all over the South and West,
mostly from Arkansas and the South

districts. It makes but little headway
