Feline Sagacity.


A New HAMPSHIRE paper tells these
stories:
Last year Mr.. Charles Edgerly, of
Meredith, owned cat which was regu-
lar hunter. He would often go off and
bring in rabbits. If any of the family
went berrying Tommy would 60 too and
devote his energies to wild game. If he
became separated from the party, he
would climb tree and ascertain the di.
rection to head himself to find them. He
could catch birds on trees, and the boys of
the family, knowing the propensity of
squirrels to take to fences and stone walls
when in danger, would put him on wall
and alarm the game. One afternoon
Tommy caught tifteen squirrels in this
manner. He would wait any length of
time when put down in place and told
to stay there.
Zone day he brought rat and laid it
at the feet of Mr.. Edgerly, who took out
his knife and skinned it. Pussy surveyed
the operation with intense interest, and
seemed highly pleased at it, Mr.. Edgerly
said, go get another and the cat went off
and returned at intervals during the day
with three more, which were duly
skinned, under feline superintendent.
MIR. Edgerly told the cat that he
would skin all the rats he could
catch; and henceforth pussy made it his
sole occupation to catch the rodents and
see their hides removed. The skins of
the rats Were fastened on the barn at the
distance of few feet from the ground.
Thirty.seven trophies were in time dis
played on the barn. One day this feline
Nimrod brought in rat and laid it at
Mr.. Edgerly's feet He was busy at the
time and could not crafty the animal
with the usual skinning operation. The
cat laid it at his feet three successive
times, and was finally repulsed in such
manner that Tommy went off with his
back and tail up in the peculiar stiff gait
which enraged animals have. From that
day not rat would he CATCH though
other small game continued to suffer as of
old
"But now comes the wonderful part of
the tale. On the night of the day on
which he became so mortally offended,
Tommy went out to the barn and tore
down the hides of the thirty-seven vic
TINS, TO show his resentment of the insult
Such case rarely is heard OF, and SO we
record it for our readers, young and old.
Though he would keep all his old habits,
such as skating, (for he would slide in the
best manner he was able on the ice, when
ever the boys VENT be never again was
known to catch aGat to the day of his
death, which happened some few months
after by being caught in fox trap"
