CHARMED ALL THE HENS.
The EventfuI Visit of q Grouse TO the
Barnyard.

Bear Creek Letter 10 the New York sun
A big cock. ruffed grouse came plungine
down the barnyard at Seth Colby's near
here, the other day, and strutted about
among the hens, giving himself all sorts of
airs. The rooster that had charge of this
flock of hens gaZed at this impudent in
truder in astonishment for a few seconds
and then bristled up and started in to show
the grouse that sole authority in that ward
was vested IL himself The rooster was as
big again as the grouse, but the gamey in
terloper from the wilds put himself in
shape and treated Mr.. Rooster to some
thing that was a surprise to him. The
grouse was SO quick and fierce in his fight
ing that after three lively rounds the roost-
er turned tail and retreated to a far corner
of the barnyard. The victor couldn't crow
but he jumped upon a mound of straw and
looked the surroundings over with such an
lmperious air that il spoke louder of his
triumph than crow that could have been
heard d mile. After thus gloatinE over his
victory, the wild cock came off the mound
and strutted among the hens with more as
surance than before. The hens did not
conceal their admiration for the audacious
gallant, and huddled around him. ignoring
scornfully the presence of their right full
lord, beaten and Inundated I'm his corner
For half an hour the grouse enjoyed his
pleasing triumph. and then whirred away
to his wooded haunts.
And them hens" says Seth Colby who
witnessed the remarkable exhibition from
the window of his hay NOV. looked sor-
rier than wilder when that dandy pheas-
ant left en- and they kept IL up so long
that they didn't recognize the rooster for
more'n two days"
