A Skunk on His Travels.

A trap was set for a skunk in one of
the suburban towns ten miles south of
Boston last November. The trap was
an ordinary steel muskrat trap, with a
spring SO powerful as to require both
hands and feet to set it. This was tied
to neighboring tree-root, with cord
which had proved of sufficient strength
effectually to detain large woodchuck
only few nights previously at the same
place. At eleven o'clock that night the
trap ratified violently ou the stones in
the bottom of the ditch, and the prox-
unity of the aforesaid skunk was an
nounced by him, in the peculiar fashion
of his tribe, with great emphasis. This
continued for several hours and then
ceased. In the morning his enemies
found, to their chagrin and disappoint-
ment, on approaching the ditch, pistol
in hand, with great care and circum-
spection, not to say circumnavigation,
that the visitor had cut the cord, packed
up his traps, and departed in search of
more congenial locality. Nothing
more was heard from him until this
spring, when the same skunk got en-
tangled in a fence in town ten miles
the other side of Boston. How he man
aged to survive four months with trap
on his leg, and he twenty miles from his
starting point, is an interesting question
for students of natural history.
