Bad Speculation 4 Ia Black Cats.

lhe statement that an ,enterprising
Yankee has bought an island in The
OHIO river and has stocked the same

fur trade has called forth the following
account of a similar experiment which
was made many years ago by n gentle
man who resided in Maryland. The
ndea struck him that as the fur trade
was lucrative it would do much better
to raise animals nearer home than the
regions of the North, and accordingly
he purchased an island in Chesapeake
Bay, stocking it with the blackest of
black cats. lie paid ex:ravagant prices

adjacent country went extensively into
tn, business OF cntrarping unsuspecting
Tommes and Tahbes, winch were inn
medlately disposed of and sent to the
aforesaid island.
The gentleman found the cats were
prolific, and was soon compelled to EN-.
| ,ploy two men to live on the island and
hsll with seine in order to supply them
with lood. AT first the fishermen had
quite an easy time, and readily supplied
fish In abundance for their charges; but
the numbers daily Increased, until whole
ltglons OF black cats trooped over their
island home, devouring everything in
the shape OF food, aud the meH found it
