Extraordinary instance Of natural affection and
.ferocaty ofa Cat.
The following facts are well authenticated:
family in the lower town of Quebec had
cat with Kittens about two months old; one
day the mistress Of the house had occasion to
open cupbosrd where provisions were kept,
and on shutting il kitten got squeezed by
the door, and uttered loud and piercing cry.
The mistress of the house, after seeing that it
was disengaged, apparently not much hurt,
turned to go to another part of the ROOM
Presently the mother of the kitten came in,
went UP to it, and then flew furiously at the
mistress of the house, first biting and scratch
ing her. legs, thighs and arms, and proceeding
to her neck, upon which she fixed; the wo-
man used her hands to preserve her eyes, low
eriDg her head to save her throat her cries
alarmed her husband, who came into the room
to her assistance the cat then let go her hold,-
received kick, passed under the stove to
the other side of it, where she was followed
by the man; she then re-passed making again
at the woman but, being pursued she went
out OF the door, which was immediately clos
ed. She then began TO fly up against the door
uttering hldeous cries; the family was so
much alarmed that assistance was had. and
fpally the cat was killed on entering the door,
partially opened for the purpose. The wo-
man was much hurt, but her wounds are
nearly healed. The cat had frequently shown
symptoms Of holiness and ferocity when irri-
tated, but never before in a way to excite a
larm in the family.

Elan was on board the stage. Numerous per-
sons fiocked about him with great inquisitive.
ness, as to where he had been, where he was
from, and whittier he was going. The joke,
took well, and, at one village not far distant,
great numbers crowded into the room where,
he was eating-and, after his name was seen
entered on the way-bill, "Capt, Morgan"
the curiosity of some persons carried them
even into his bed chamber, to see him as he
slept. From this probably arose the story
