A HEN Seainir FRAM ileac Easr.—.
foot Christmas morning Mrs. Peter
'Boudreau, of Senlnierviile, Digby
Minty, went to the barn as usual
and got a mess of oats, which she
gltve to her fowls. Later in the
forenoon she noticed very strange
rations amongst them, and the
rooster wee stretched on the ground
apparently dead. Mrs. B., to maks
the best of it, plucked him slick and
()teen, with. tbo expeption of a few
tell and -wing feathers, and eou-
signed'his romaine to the mautire
hemp, feeling convinced that he had
been poisoned. Towards noon, to
the great enrprise of the whole
',family, he was np again, strutting
about as gay as: ever, though de-
prived of his costly and necessary
apparel. But our good lady, being
equal to the emergency, took him
hi the house and fitted him with
a fine anit of overalls, and at last
accounts he was doing as well as
oonld be expected under the dis-
tressing oironmetanees. Mrs. B.,
determined to find out the cause of
thin strange phenomenon, went to
heal oat barrel and found that a bot-
tle of liquor had been placed in the
barrel and the liquor had leaked
met in the grain, which explained
the whole mystery. The rooster
was drunk, as many other bipeds
iA- bigger communities were on
Christmas day.
