SINGULAR CAT AsTRoPHE. - A New York
merchant recently sent for cargo of Maltese
cats from that celebrated island, per schooner
William E. Calls, of Nantucket Captain
Smith. Fifty kittens were received on board
the schooner as part of the assorted cargo.
On the voyage very rough weather was ex-
perienced. AT first the tars attributed the
rapid succession of gales to the comet, but
one old sailor told the crew that it was moth
ing outside the vessel that occasioned the
storm; that one cat was enough to send any
ship toDavy Jones locker, and as they had fifty
on board, not man of them stood chance
of setting foot on dry land again. This was
enough for the superstitous crew, and the
cats were Immediately demanded of the Cap
tain. given up, and drowned. By singular
coincidence the storm thereupon abated. The
owner of the cats has now sued the owners of
the vessel for damages, laying the value of the
cats at $50 apiece $25OO. -Alany Express.

and pupils of the Worcester High School took
an excursion to Harmony Grove, birmingham,
yesterday, July oath, the closing day of the term,
starting from this city at 1890 2. M, and arriv-
ing at the grove at 2 o'clock. The company
spent the time rambling through the beautiful
grove, boating on the delightful lake, swinging,
&c, until the picnic table was spread, at halpast
three O'Clock. The table was furnished and spread
by the young ladies of the school, and certainly
did great credit to their generosity and good
taste.
Having done ample justice to the tables, the
company repaired en- maSse to the amphitheatre,
where the intellectual feast was enjoyed Homer
B. Sprague, Esq, the esteemed and efficient
principal, made an appropriate and very feeling
address, returning his thanks to the pupils for
their kindness, and expressing his good wishes

The exercises were continued by the scholars.
In response to loud calls, Mr.. G. W. Adams gave
very humorous defamation, and was followed
by H. o'Reilly, in a comic piece, which called
forth loud shouts of laughter. D. H. Chamber
lain then briefly responded to the calls of the
company, and closed by offering sentiment of
thanks to the teachers, which was warmly re-
ciprocated by the audience. G. Walter Allen
next made very earnest address, closing by a
sentiment complimentary to the principal. A
toast proposed by Mr.. Calkins next called out Mr..
Perry of this city, member of the present junior
class in Brown University. Mr.. Sprague then
offered fine sentiment in allusion to the retiring
teacher, Miss NJ. Lizzie Waterman, which was
answered by H. 0'Reilly, in a kind and feeling
address of farewell to Miss Waterman.
Brief speeches were also made, and sentiments
offered, by A. P. Haywood, B. F. Thomas, H.
z. Boyden, and others. The shrill call of the
railroad whistle then summoned the company
from their festivities. Mirth and glee, wit and
song, enlivened the ride home, where they arriv-

the kind cooperation and lberality of the teach.
