Main street to lay in a few provisions aud
rest awhile. In ono of the wagons We no.
ticed youthful couple, whom We supposed
brother and sister; aud approaching the
horses we inquired their destination. and
where they came from. The young man
replied that they were going to settle in
Iowa, somewhere near Des Nloines, and
that they were from 10 Ka!b County. At
this point Of the conversation. an oldish
looking gentleman came out ofthe grocery,
and handed the young man package, re-
marking. he guessed that ought to last
two such young ducks as they we're until
they reached Rock Island" The girl
blushed, and said at was just like Dan |;
he had to tell everybody because SHE was
married" "Neycr mind, honey, "rcplied
the man, soothingly, the men always like

We then resumed the conversation by ask

that he was sixteen years old. and bis wife,
1lanuah, was fourteen, and That bis name
was Henry Miller. The "itc being

lie had only been married Que week: aud,
his fathcr-in-law having fitted him out
Will ateani and $500 in cash, he was

on her preitiest smile, and said "tlnt was

A RAT QUALIFIED FOR A RADICAL PoL-
,1IcI3N.-Oae Of the most remarkable an
imals Of the Rocky Mountains is tue
Rocky Mountain rat, the Ncoton,a Enerd
Of Reard, also known as the Ncolo,na Gc-
tidenutis, and called in Oregon as the
wood-rat. A full grown rat IS often nine
inches in length. from tip Of nose to base
Of tail, while the tail adds about as much
more to its length. Its hair is soft, gray
on The back and wbiti,h on the belly, cars
short but broad, aud round tail. bushy at
tip. 1t is the worst thief in the animal
creation, not excepting man, for it always
steals and does notstopt consider whether
what he steals is valuable or not. Many
strange. stories are told concerning its
stealing nails, candles. &c., and bringing
back in return manure and all sorts OF
ofal! Its operations often have tie Jap
pearaEre more Of having been the result Of
a desire to be employed than any thing
else. On ono occasion j. Alden Smith,
81 this Office, said he had standing in his
office in Clear Creek County half n kcg Of
nails, containing three sizes. and during a
single night these rats took out oil the
nails, and piled them up n'the floor in
three piles, each size by themselves. The
same animals, night after night, brought
in heaps Of manure from an out.bouse.
But even a stranger trick than this was
performed in the house Of Mr. Hale, on
Tuesday night. On going to he'd he placed
llisifalse se.llon bureau. In the morn
ing The teeth were gene and raw potato
left in their place. After long search,
tearing of the weather. boardingin several
places, they were found in the nest Of one
Of these rats. The rat had started to
carry off tue potato, but finding The teeth
took them and left the potato.--Ctntrdl
