Mr. Morse, aud robbed it of eight fine turkeys. t'ur lisle Volunteer. They do things different, here, bast Saturday night, somewhere between ten and twelve, just as we were preparing to retire, we heard the gate in front of our domicil open, and ou looking out to see who the intruder was at that bour of tbo night, we discovered a tall, good looking young man cautiously threading bis way towards our poultry coop. Under his arm be carried a bundle, which in the dim light of the moon, looked marvelous! like a turkey. On reaching the coop, be cautiously opened tbe door, tbrut in bis burthen, and as cautiously retreated. Thinking he had carried thatj'fce far enough, we stepped to the door and told bim we'd thank him, when be opened our coop, and, without tbe fear rt Shanghai roosters before his eves, maliciously im prisoned a gobbler, to shut fie ,lvr tljht 1 irW. not traj Wore moroiny.
