CATIrIcArIoN OF SQUIRRELS "A gentleman from
Midway, in this State, has given us the following curious
case OF donestieation. A sportsman in that vicinity not
long since took, possession OF a squirrels nest, in whick he
iound two OF the little animals, apparently hut a day or two
old. He carried them home, and put them under the
tuition OF Grimakip, who luckily happened TO have a
brood oil kittens OF nearly the same age and size, two Of
which she ruthiessly, and withoutIhe leas, regard to prin-
ciple, abducted, for the purpose Of making room for the
buslrtailed and long whiskered interiopers. The cat nursed
them all thenceiorth with an indiscriminate parental afec-
ton; and the squirrels are at this time being about a month
old, as much al home with both the old cat and the rest
of the family, as the kittens themselves. The whole troop
of the unmsnnerly little rascals (As our friend says) may
be seen racing about the house together in all weathers,
heads up and tails flying, for all the world like a smart
corps Of dragoons.-Boston .MereantiLe Journal.
