A Lacrosse paper says: The forests
on the islands in the Mississippi are full
Of gray squirrels. II seems that these
squirrels are now moving West, and the
captain Of the ferryboat says the river is
full Of them, swimming TO the Minnesota
shore. The crop Of nuts in Wisconsin
is small, and these squirrels go where
they may provide for the winter"
A good instance of sharp practice p
is that Of a man in Ohio, who was ac-
quilted Of murder on plea Of insanity.
He had secured his lawyers by giving
them mortgage on his farm, but now
repudiates the mortgage on the ground
that be was insane when he made it, ae-
cording to the showing Of these same
lawyers.
