CATAsTRoPHE.-Quite an amusing
scene was presented this morning IA
the bystanders, by two lusty Irish
women quarreling over the lifelesa
carcass of q cat. 1t would seem tina,
each one was claimant of the unfor.
tunate cat. whose demise was charg.
ed on each otheraby the women al
they could alternate a malediction.
Finally, exasperated beyond all con.
troll, one of the Amazons olutched
the timber carcass and threw it into
the face of the other, which act Of
Delllgerancy was quickly responded
to in the same manner, and for some.
time the helpless cat oscillated
between the combatants, while each
was expending her breath in curses
using up the category Of cxpletive,s...
more forcible than elegant, till the
game OF cat" was ended by one Of
them receiving one Of its paws right
smack into her open eyes, and she
had to stop pitching for the claret
streamed down precisely, making
her weep pure drops of blood. It
was fearful catastrophe.
