The Mirror states tint a gentleman redding about three miles from Fort Valley has a chicken that was iiis hutched.

Ab-oit two week's after this tbo hog was killed, and the offal turned over to a servant, who; in cfeuniuit, dbov tr*d a ha'd Kuhsluiiuo iu tho paunch, w hich proved to bo un unbroken egg. On examination they found the egg to contain a live chicken, which was pino <1 under u sell in • hen, ami in n tew days tho chicken was ftetiva and st;oiig. The Miitror says they propose sending it to Philadelphia and that this remarkable instance bus altiacted much attention in the com munity, and liotu its consideration s(i‘uo very interesting ip.iestious arise.

One of t’-o most important decis ions oT tli-j S pteme Court is that a u an can waive his right both for him self and family to a homestead. The Supreme Court by a unanimous de cision, delivered by Cheit Justice Warner, declares that a man can waive his right both for himself and family; and the Chief Justice even goo* so far as to administer a rebuke to those who would after waiving the homestead, attempt to evade an hon est debt by a disregard of the waiver. The Atlanta Constitution in com. meriting on this subject, says that the tar reaching effects of this dccission can hardly be estimated. It is practical starvation to the multitudes of the people of Georgia, who xvi 1 rise up and bestow their fervent blessings upon the Supreme Court. Times are hard, and money is becoming scarcer and more timid. The homestead law effectually cuts off’ borrowing from the masses. But al[ this is changed by the laic deeis sion. oney will at once flow freely in to the market,the homestead law being entirely removed out of the way, or made inoperative when desired. A man can now borrow on the ful; value of his property. Our farmers can obtain supplies or money by mortgage. Northern bonds wi. at once seek investment in our Si te, being now fully protected by the law.
