Novar. ltionsE-TnAp.—The other day a tradesman's
wife in Nairn purchased s Mme shel!-figh of the gee us
commonly known as "cockles," and laid them aside in a
stone-warn dish. During the same night, the husband and
wife were considerab'y alarmed by a strange and startling
noise in the room, and on a search it was discovered that
the midnight prowler who had caused the unwonted alarm
was a mouse, to the mouth of which a large cockle was
firmly attached. The little animal had ventured to ap-
propriate the delicious, mcrsel exposed by the partially
opened shell-fish, which had immediately closed, no doubt
to the infinite terror and disgust of the captive marauder.
