the animal was found in precisely the same
state; and when the room was filled with the
officers of Justice he still remained, apparently
transhxed to the spot. As soon, however, as
the suspected parties were brought in, his eyes
glared with increased fury, his hair bristled,
and he darted precipitately from the room.
The countenances Of the assassins were discon-
certed and they now, for the first time during
the whole course Of the horrid transaction, felt
their atrocious audaeity forsake them.
"
We might instance cases in which the reason
ing process was evidently exhibited but let
the following, related by DR.. Smellin, in which
ingenuity of performance was combined with
sagacity, suffice: "a cat frequented closet,
the door of which was fastened by common
iron latch a window was situated near the
door; when the door was shut the cat gave
herself no uneasiness, for so soon as she was
tired OF her confinement, she mounted on the
sill of the window, and with her paws dex-
tterously lifted the latch and came out. This
practice she continued for years. Many in
stances of the kind are upon record; and we
personally know of one, in which cat, having
been neglected at the regular dinner hour
which was usually accompanied by the ringing
OF bell, would agitate the bell wire. The
ooSueiUy VI tuc lcllHe race Is 80 Clearly oVlHceu
in the following anecdote, that we cannot help
repeating it, Mr. Tiedemann, the famous
Saxon dentist, had valuable tortoise-shell cat,
thatfor days did nothing but moan. Guessing
the cause, he looked into its mouth, and seeing
a decayed tooth, soon relieved it of its pain
The following day there were at least ten cats
at his door-the, day after, twenty; and they
went on increasing at such rate that he was
obliged to keep bulldog to drive them away.
But nothing would help them. A cat who had
the toothache would come any number Of miles
to him. 1t would come down the chimney,
even, and not leave the room till he had taken
it's tooth out. 1t grew such nuisance at last
that he was never free from one of these feline
patients. However, being one morning very
nervous, he accidently broke the jaw of an old
tabby. The news of this spread like wildfre.
Not a single cat ever came to him afterwards.

These extracts from the Washington Union

our humble counsels, it would not so often
have been forced TO recsnt its opinions and

an i'll Judge Of men and measures, or it would
not so frequently be subjected to the humiliat-

labyrinth.

every effort to have Mr.. Seward Of New York,
