The Thing Killed Chickens and Drove
 the Whole Family out of Doors,
 Oliver D. Taylor, of Balls Pond, was in town Tuesday. MT. Taylor has a story to tell as usual and this was it:
 We have had a large frog here that lived on the fat of the land He killed our small chickens We were on the lookout. We missed the chickens. My son heard racket at one of the coops, and on Investigating, he found that the frog had Q chicken by the throat, and had nearly killed it. 1t took several blows and a good shaking before he would loose his grip on the chicken.
 "The boy took the frog to the house and let him loose in the kitchen. He drove the housekeeper and all hands out of the room by growing and jump ing at them They finally killed him. If had been at home l would not have had him killed for anything. I would have sent him to Dr. Knox. alive. think he was the same frog that the doctor kept in his door yard at Patter- son, to keep the school children out of the yard, when he had his menagerie." :" --Dah bury News.

The neighbors who gathered to console with the lad when he was found in the street were full of praise and compli- mentary words for Signal Officer Ricey Beegan and the wonderfully kind way in which he watched and cared for the little fellow who seemed to think at once that i'll the big and genial hearted police officer he had found a good friend for certain, that would help him out of his troubles, and the cold world at once reassuned a roseate hue to the young ster
