Living Without a Head.
A Button County man has a living chicken without a head. Attempting to cut off the chicken'a head, the axe passed through the head of the chicken immediately in front of the ears, thus loaving a small portion of the brain attached to the neck. The chicken did not take this aa nn execution of his death warrant and got up and stood on his feet, to the astoniFhment of hia would-be executioner, who then contrived a plan to feed him by dropping food and drink into tha hole of the thorax, which ho far bus proved a success. The chicken is now doing well. —IVilion (Km.) Echo.
