THE FERRET.-The Ferret is a native OF
Africa, whence it was imported into Spain for
the purpose of destroying the rabbit, with
which at one period that country wBs I'M uri-
ously oyerrun. From Spain it spread over
the rest of Europe, as a domesticated animal
From the earliest times it was used in the
capture of rabbits, by being turned, muzzled,
into their burrows. 1t is now used, not only
by the warrener, but also extensively by the
rat catchers.
Some ten years since, there was living near
Huron, Ohio, a pro. essed rat catcher, an Eng
lishman. who. with a cage of ten or fifteen
ferrets. and accompanied by several Scotch ter
riers. visited the farms and villages through
Huron county, ready, for fee of five dollars
to carry death and dismay into the colony of
rats and mice inhabiting the premises. was
was witness TO one of these professional oper-
atioms.. The terriers, keen for the SPORT were
posted about the buildings; then the ferrets,
lean. lank, and hungry, were let slip into the
holes and runaways of the rats.
Now commenced such scampering, squeak
ing, racing, hustle and confusion, as was
truly exciting. II the rats remained in their
holes. death was certain, for the ferrets could
with ease follow through any opening rat
could pass and If they attempted to escape
by flight their fate was equally sure, for the
little active dogs, willing allies of the ferrets,
were ready to seize them the moment they
made their appearance. Thus war of exter-
mination was carried forward with bloody sue
cess.
Ferrets are very sensitive of cold, and re-
quire to be kept snug and warm, especially
during winter, as they perish if exposed to
the severity of the season. Should any of
your readers wish to obtain ferrets, by direct
ing letter to the postmaster at Huron, Ohio,
they will in all probability be informed where
they can be supplied. Prairie Farmer, April
24th.

+" En- Nthilo NihH Ftt."-It is a college Gus
tom of immemorial antiquity to give nick
names to students, borrowed from the Greek
or Latin, and suggested, for the most part, by
some resemblance, in sound or sense, to the
real'name of the party. Thus, at - Uni
versity, a student named " Good was called
" BOnunl." Another of the same name, and
very tall, coming afterwards, was distinguish
ed by the title of g StS1ln,una Bonunl," which,
for variety, was sometimes translated into "to
Kalon the Greek equivalent for the same
phrase. A student named Niles" was
called " Mill" which, considering that
niha means " nothing was about as dimin-
utive an appllation as could well have been
selected. The name. however, CHANGED after
wards to occasion good deal of merriment.-
1t happened that Niles, who was a "hard
boy" sinned against good morals and the
college code. (not always the same thing,) by
becoming father before he was a husband.
AT the recitation. the morning after the event
became generally know among the students,
the senior class (of which Niles was mem
ber) read on the black board the old phio-
sophical maxim, " Er Nihiio Mill ft."--
Even the dullest smoked the jest" and
grave old Prof. -- joined the boys in a
roar Of laughter Boston Post.

TIE OLD Folks CoNBERT The N. E. Pilgrim
Society, which will give an entertainment in this
city, Friday evening, have been delighting the
largest audiences ever brought out, in several of
our sister cities. The largest halls have been
crowded on these occasions, which shows there
exists a great love in our community for ancient
melodies, or that an appeal to the desire for nov
ell and quaint effects is indispensable to the most
complete success of even musical entertainments
in these cities.
AS the Society defle upon the platform, dressed
the members, in q varioty of fantastic OF
appropriate attire, of laughter ring through
the hall. The females mostly don bonnets of di-
mansions amply sufficient for the accommodation
of two heads instead of one, and sport dresses
varying from the loose, flowing, unstiffened robe,
to the prim, starched.up costume of the sanity
duenna. Wigs, queues, and perukes, adorn the
heads of the males, who were attired in small
clothes, breeches, fanciul coats of divers Styles
and hats of the most approved ancient patterns.
Although presenting rather ludicrous appear
ance, the Pilgrims donot in the slightest manner,
burlesque the costume about the time of
the Revolution The music is the most ancient
that has been preserved, and is rendered with the
best possible effect. The more serious minded
portion of our citizens will realize much pleasure
in listening to the proposed entertainment.
