The Bethlehem Times says: This spring Amandus Heinley, who lives but a short distance from town, in Bethlehem township, set a hen to hatch some eggs out in the meadow. A roose, on which Mr. Heinley set some value, was frequently observed to visit the incubating nest, scratch the eggs out from under the old hen, and set himself on them. Mr. Heinley finally determined to ascertain how far this rooster would unsex himself, if given the opportunity, and to that end made a nice nest for him, in which he placed thirteen eggs as naturally as a hen, and in due course of time brought forth thirteen little "chicks," all of which may now be seen at Mr. Heinley's place, under the sole charge of just as proud a rooster-mother as ever shielded young under her wing. Mr. Heinley justly boasts of this singular "bird," and wouldn't part with him for any money.
