New variety of Barn-Door Fowls.--The editor of the American Farmer has received
from Mr. Wright at Rio Janeiro, a new species of barn-door fowls, called in Brazil, the
"Canta Galla," or singing cock, from its crow
being spun out, as in the new style of singing,
until you begin to fear the fine lady will spin
out all the breath she has in her body, leaving not enough to recover upon. The following is Mr. Wright's letter.
Rio Janeiro, July 14, 1828.
Dear Sir-I could not obtain any of the
musical fowls here : I sent to a friend at St.
Pauls, and he sent only cocks. I send two-
the black is a fine crower. I have sent for
others, male and female, which I will send
you when I receive them. The two now sent,
Capt. Williams, of the Margaret, will deliver.
