SENCrLAIC Mona OF 817CIELINO LAMM —One of
those remarkable instances of " necessitybeing the mother
of invention" is daily to be men at tbe residua,
of George Crow, Esq. of Omitting, titer Borough-
bridge, where three file bouncing lambs are re-
yelling in the luxury of sacking a he young now.
The handy shepherd has constructed • platform, i•
the shape of • straw pillow, by which the lambs are
enabled to get at the required elevation. Another farmer
near is in possession of another singular indium, of Male
peculiarity, having a Dalmatian spaniel bitch seeking •
kitten, to which it shows the most tender regard aid
attachment. The owner of the dog not wishing to keep nay
puppies destroyed them all, and a stray kitten about the
premises soon won the dog's confidence, mid is daily suckled
sad cared for by its mains foster mother.— YorksAire

A Norm Morse TRAP.—On Wednesday last, a
little boy, while in school at Lansdale, complained that he
felt something moving inside his jacket. Search having teen
made, three mice were taken out alive. It is @apposed that
the mice, attracted by the remains of the little fellow's
dinner, had during the night made their way into the Malik
but could find no way of egress. The boy had worn the
jacket several hours before the mice were diaeovered.—
