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.
