C(I OTIll\I} FOR .1 IiOOMIi.
A yoiir ago hast New Yettr'e, writes
e, correspondent, a vary amusing
event ocenrred in my poultry yard,
where I had a flock of seven gesso,
which I was planning to keep
through the minter. Thiel morning
I fed them as usual, giving theta two
querte of corn taken from a herr( 1
in the shed. During the fnrenoou I
had 000laeiotl to pass through the
farmyard, end to my dismay found
the old gander stretched on the
snow, apparently dead. The geese,
too, appeared unusually dumpish,
as if other deaths might be expected
In a short time.
Annoyed at the loss of the gander,
I resolved to make tete damages as
light as possible, and so picked him
up, carried him to the Louse, and
proceeded to pick off hie reediting.
This done, I loft his body at the
back door to be carried off by one
of the men.
In the middle of the afternoon I
heard a most unusual honking and
squawking in the barnyard, and ran
out to see what wad the matter.
