A[K|RE'S TURKEY |S
 4 STAGGERING FOWL

The astounding word was brought to this office yesterday that George Al kire had delivered a 125 pound turkey to the Farmers Exchange at Five Points. Though that story received some corroboration on inquiry, it can not be said to have been fully confirm ed. The supposition is that, the bird was not turkey at all; that is full blooded turkey, but q cross between a high grade turkey and that excellent breed of hogs for which MT. Alkire has been so justly famous. There is an other theory that the bird was not really turkey, but a dodo, which was so long ago supposed to be extinct that naturalists disclaim any opinion as to the general build of it. It may have looked like turkey but they know that it was big bird.
 But turkeys at thirty cents pound are for all practical purposes as eN- tinct to most people as the dodo ever was.
