TaDR8AY. MAY 1. 10 A CHICKtN WITHIN A CHICKEN. lmrktl IPreak mt Wtc A pasale Vr Sctentlata. Dr.

Frank J. Hoi ben, of Lyon Valley, Lehigh county, as we learn from the Allen town Democrat, "is the owner of a larpe number of chickens, ha Tine plenty of spare around, and last winter noticed that one of the flock had suffered the fracture of a having1 been trampled upon by at steer. The iniared hen was suffered to take its chancee. and it again took its place with the rest of the feathered family, seemingly none tee worse for the mishap it had sustained. It ran aloncr undisturbed until about two weeks aeo.

when it was caught and decapitated for table use. After har. in? been cleansed of its feathers it was cut open, when lo and behold, in lay ing aside the huge flaps of fat, cot only several fully formed eggs, witn naix car a ened shell, were found, but also a lire chick.fully covered with coal black, fine, soft, downy feathers. On being brought to the air it however soon died. It was retained day or so, and in the meantime inspected by many callers, and comments passed upon the strange freak of nature none.

however, being eage enough to account for the singular freak, nor, indeed, oo we be lieve that the best naturalists will be able to do so with any degree of certainty. The only reasonable theory is that owing to the excessive quantity of fat carried by the hen it was prevented from voiding its eggs, and that the chick wa hatched internally by the heat and moisture of the adipose tissue within which it 'edged. After tbe chick bad been re moved and the wonderment of the strange discovery discussed, the meat of the mother fowl was or course thrown away as being unflt for ubs. This is no chicken story, but an actual fact. Dr.

Hoi ben being gentleman cf the highest integrity and not given to joking or retailing fabricated stories. The occurrence is moreover vouched for by the members of the household, and dozens of people of the neighborhood who called to view the chick." ABOUT THE GYPSIES. Soutelhlug About Band That la Mow on Its Wfcjr to Utrki. The gypsies are already on the move through the country, seeking what they may devour. On Thursday a small band cf tbem passed through Allentown, coming in from Catasauqua.

They bad three wagons, two of them regular houses on wheels, the windows being provided with lace curtains, and the other a baggage team, carrying mattresses, Ac. They were well supplied with horses, dogs and the usual variety of paraphernalia that constitutes a gypsy outfit. The Urmocrat says the band consisted of three families, tbe Liees, the Wortons ana tbe rlunsworfbs, twenty1 one in eil. Among tbe number was Old Sammv Lee. He is father cf the Lee family, and in his 103d year the oldest gypsy in the United States.

He is deaf as a post, Mott of his life has been spent in wandering over tbe world. Another mem. ber wos Theresa Lee, 78 tears of age. Sb was born in Alexandria, in 1812, Her ancestors were all gypsies of ancient Komany on her father's side, and de scendant from Zirgaris of Turkey sn Persia by the mother. Thus early in hi spring, and especially on cool nights suci as we are having at this season, it must be quite breezy to sleep out in the open with no other sheltering means than wagon cover or tent.

THINGS ARE WORKING I BUT "Swallow" That May Be Maufla In tno Swr fnlarc in tne schMjiuu Vollsjr, The free bridge people are trying to swallow down the ochuylkill Bridge Com pany at Fottstowu, and the "swallow' likely to be completed, if $40,000 will ac com pi isb it. The "voice of the people7' is heard in the land iryiig to swallow down the Perkiomen and Beading Turnpike Company, or at least to abolish the toll gates thereon, so far as Montgomery county is concerned which will be 14 miles thereof swallowed, any ho. The 8cbuylkill Water Company of Phila delphia, which claims to have a capital of about $10,000,000, is trying to swallow down the Schuylkill Navigation Company and may succeed in doing it, too. It will take a pretty big gulp, however, to get away with the car a), its locks, towpathe. males and mule drivers but everybody snows Dig money win do big things.

And the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany has brought a suit for $2,000,000 damages against tbe Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, and the next thing we shall see, possibly, will be the former big corporation trying to swallow down tbe la tier. That will be the greatest swallow of aI; but then the swallowing ca pacity of the Pennsylvania company is im mense, ana mere is no knowing what it may do. If all the big "swallows" above men tioned are accomplished, what will be left in tbe Benny Ikill Valley of its old and pop ular institutions Can such thines be and happen, and if so will the world wag on "afterwardly" just the same as ever Nevertheless, all thee wonderful events have not come to pass as yet, acd may not for a good while, out things are work ing," and the reader had better keep a top eye open, or something astonishing may occur very close to his abiding place before he is aware ot it.

Q. a est law Still Vmr ITro Seltlcmnnt The 4trae to Ue Prsnaci at Wast Chester The diverse practice in the courts in dif ferent counties indicates that the vexed question of the term ot constables, owing to various interpretations ot the At ot 1889, extendiog tbe term of these officials to tbrte years, is still far from being settled.

Haver Saw a Locomotive or a Rallroa The Allentown Chronicle says there if a bO year old woman near Dorneysville, Lehigh county, who has never seen a loco motive.

even though the city is hemmed with tracks, and a ride of five minutes would bring her within sight of ail. But fibe never had a care to view such things, and the likelihood is that she will go to her grave wiihont ever having seen a moving train. In the case of the South Whitehall lady ine matter is somewnat aitrdrent, in that she is not so old, and lives away from rail roads. jMentown JJemocrat. Xne Neveralnk Kb 11 way.
