4 RAT SroRY.-A remarkable story
of the cunning and intelligence of a rat,
is narrated in the Wilkesbarre Advocate
Itis this : A neighbor of ours being plagued
with rats about his barn, he made various
attempts to secure some of them with a
trap, but without success. The trap used
was made of wire and was so constructed
that on a rat entering and abiding at a
bait, the trap would spring and cage the
intruder. The man, upon frequently find
ing the bait gone, concluded be would
watch the trap. Soon half a dozen rats
made their appearance, and among them
one that seemed to have more years than
the others. He advanced slowly and eau
tiously toward the trap, and when the 9th
ers would make a move as if intending to
rush to the bait, the old fellow would wag
his tail, and they would fall behind him
After viewing the trap closely, the old fel-
low approached the back part of it, and
getting on it, shook tho raised part until
the trap sprung, and then put a paw thro
one of the openings between the wires, aud
taking the bait Of, made his retreat viii
it. The same thing was repeated the sec
ond time the same afternoon. Our neigh
Dor determined not to be outdone by rat
and set common trap in a keg, and Gov
cred it with Indian meal. In due tim
the old oulprit satsred the Ssg and v.
secured.
