SQUIRRELS and lne.r Enemies.

Of this most beautiful, active. and
graceful of all the furred denizens of our
woods and plains, there arc not less than
sixty known, varieties. and the number
will probably be Increased when our Pa
cific possessions are more fully explored.
To the spOrtsmen east OF the Rocky
Mountains the most interesting species are
the gray the fox, and the pine squirrel,
called on the tide-wateE of Maryland and
Virginia the cat squirrel.
The gray squirrel frequently migrates
in large plumbers, and is very destructive
to the corn crop. 10 such an extent did
their depredations reach in the colony of
Pennsylvania, in the year 1870, as to ex-
cite the alarm OF the authorities, and a
bounty of three pence was >ffered for
squirrel scalps,. and the coleman treasury
was depleted to the extent of RS, OOO. and
nearly rendered bankrupt, $40, 900 scalps
having been, paid for in a single. year In
view Of this great fecundity, it is fortu-
nate that the squirrel has so many enc
mics; probably the least destructive of
them all is man.
The black snake ascends to his nest,
and at one fell ssYoop will destroy awhole
litter; the rattlesnake, we are told, will
paralyze poor Bunny, by the glitter of
his eye, and draw him on, an unresisting
victim, into the jaws Of death. But the
owl is his greatest and most destructive
enemy, as toward the close of the day he
fits on with poiseless wings through the
darkening woods and pounces on his I'M
suspecting prey. The red tailed hawk is
another Of his foes,. but he is an open
enemy, and wages war magnanimously.
