Mk. Knn ou: If you should ask my
- opinion on rats." I should tell you that
I think they are a jolly nice. In proof
of this I will only cite one instance of
their practical jokes. One of our citizens
had a quantity of walnuts laid up in a
back chamber, which hav; been growing
beautifully less 0r some time. A chance
examination of an old cupboard in an ad
joining room led to an explanation of this
abstraction. One of the shelves contained
two pairs of boots, one pair of shoes, a
sap-bucket arid various other antiquated
domestic lixtures attracted thither by the
retiiemeiit of the place. It appeals cer
tain belligerent rats in ambush near by
recognized the important advantages of the.
position and appropriated it as a grand
military -torehou.-e. They filled each of
the above mentioned articles with walnuts
and aptly stowed a large amount besides,
to the amount of' more than a bushel in
the inter-fiees. They doubtless meant to
have a rri'l time over them.
Another unusual I'tTair has happened in
this town. One of otir townsmen has
made hi- vn'emind. IJut it ha-' frighten
ed him -o that lie has put his properly out
ot his hamis and run awav. The first
