Portsmouth, 0.—From the publicity agent of a goose that lived at the home of Adolph Brunner, a merchant, comes the assertion that the fowl is ninety- two years old, despite which important fact it continues to lay eggs. There, to be sure, is no birth certificate for the bird to produce as evidence. s: Years ago Brunner bought the bird and extraordinary age was attached to the’ fowl by the seller. That it is ord there is no question, but that it is on the road to the century mark is open to dispute. This spring Brunner observed a gan- der .and a younger goose shielding their old companion while it scattered straw and made a nest. Brunner is now watching to see whether his old goose will hatch out the eggs which were laid under community auspices, as it were. Aged Man Writes Cards.
