terror of the bystanders, and getting out OF its
coffin, walked across the room. 1t is added that

SAVED HIS STRAwBERRIEs.-An exchange
mentions an ingenious method by which q
gentleman saved his straw berries from the
daily attack of an army of robins He killed
a worthless cat, skinned and stuffed her, and
having fitted in glaring glass eyes, he mounted
her in the centre Of a strawberry patch. Al
though the robins continued to congregate
upon the fence and trees near by, and scoded
necessarily, none of them venturcd upon the
patch again. Perhaps the same "scare robin"
would save the cherries. 1t is worth trial,
particularly where cats abound as they do in
some premises at night.
