Upon opening np for. bnsi pe3S early, cm the morning referred y the first thing observed was -wish bones, lucky-bones and ail other kind: of chicken bones hung upon ttieii chandeliers and _ adorning thei: shelves. The plain indication ic the minds of the firm, by reason of lh< debris and confusion which prevailed and the remaining offal found in s small hand wagon sectored in a hid 1 den nook was. that some parties izn known except to tfcc coterie ol friends equally guilty with themselves in the plot had procured the chickens from some source and then by common consent, save from the pro prietors. had met and taken posses sion of their quarters for hoi-ting a chicken carnival. The first lack ol courtesy at least in this matter, was shown in the failure of the misc-eaiifs to leave anything behind more su!.? stantial than the carcasses to the proprietors for the use of taeir rmir. on this occasion. The second was in fa-ling to clean up and put the room in order again upon their -departure. T>e unsettled question with the li-ni still is. who were they and where did tliov get their hennery and other perquisites which evidently composed the the bill of fare?
