SPEAKING OF CATS.


10 the rear Of the house we live in is
aat-roofed shed, extending the whole length Of
the block, say three hundred feet, covering the
outbuildings connected with some twenty dwell
lings, half of which, are situated on Pearl
street, and the other half Of Broadway. On
the north is the National Garden, and on the
south number Of stables. All the cats in
that portion Of the city, get upon that shed TO
do their gossipping. Some Of them are ex.
ceedingly 'ionguey'-some arc quarrelsOme and
make great blowing in language spoken by
no civilized people that we know Of Some
are Puenacious, and insist upon having fight.

OF the shed, right in the rear Of our dwelling,
and we get the full benefit Of all the noise go-

odd old ones, besides several dozen kittens, sit.

cross-examination might have reduced the mum.

mercy knows.
Some people like cats, and there is no Law
