No. 95’ —Mr. Ellwood —Sir : Your relatives
came to see me the other day, when the most ex
traordinary chain of circumstances took place.
But I must recount the facts, in order that you
may see the point of my story. They had
brought with them a most beautiful Guinea hen,
intended as a gift for a neighbor. During the
night it escaped into the public pound, where had
been left some poisoned barleycorns , with which
to kill rats, at which it immediately began to peck
away as fast as it could. Asa matter of course,
a stop was put to its existence. They were much
alarmed when they found it gone, and even made
no scruple to hint that a distinguished and
exiled Pole, who was staying at my house, knew
about it. Os course, I was shocked at so gross
an insult to my friend. It incensed me to that
degree that I thought, under the circumstances,
it would not be too rude ( rood) to order them to
leave ray house. Why, they might as well have
accused me of being in league with a rogue.
Happily, however, the keeper of the pound , who
is a leader of the choir (quire) of this village,
found the body, brought it to my house, and ex
plained the whole matter. Your relatives apolo
gized to me and tin; Pole —we smoked a pipe of
tobacco apiece, and happiness was once more re
stored. I am very well; with the exception of
an acher (acre) in my lower jaw. Business is
good; the mill here is running again, and every
hand is agaiu employed. Yours truly, James
Inciiabald.
