A CURIOUS FELINE FREAK.-A few
days ago, friend playfully presented to
Mrs. Little;ohn, Of Swantown, nearly
nalf-grown live rat. Having on her prem
ises cat with litter Of kittens, the lady
at once took the young rat to the cat as a
delicious morsel of food, expecting to see
her spring upon and devour the rodent as
soon as it was placed within reach. In.
stead of doing so, the cat took up the rat
as tenderly as she takes her kittens, and,
placing it in proper position. invited it
to pc take of the lacteal food with which
she nourished them. The rat took hold
of teat and sucked until it was satisfied,
when it laid down with its adopted family.
When hungry, it returns to the same
fountain, sharing with the kittens the
nourishment providided by the mother,
who seems to bestow upon it an affection
equal to that enjoyed by her own offspring.
This is highly entertaining to Mrs. Lit
tlejohn, who has learned TO p ize the lit
tie rodent she was so ready to sacrifice,
and who takes peculiar delight in exhibit
ing the curious spectacle to her visitors
and friends.-1Ti6Hae.

A 100000 Law suit settled,

From the Illinois State Register, 10th.
A few days since law suit, involving
about 100000, and which at one time
promised to be Of intermiuable length,
was properly adjusted in the Gallatin
Circuit Court in this State. Last spring
Mr.. Oryille Pool, an old and wealthy
citizen Of Shawneetown, Illinois, died
seized Of an estate worth 5000, 900, to be
divided between two Of his children, a
son and daughter, leaving two Of his
children (daughters) almost nothing.
BY this will Mr.. Pool left to his son
Marshali, and to a daughter, wife Of r.
W. i, Ensend, Esq, Of MeLeansboro,
Illinois, all his property, after taking
ont his widows share, amounting to
5000, COO virtually cutting of the other
two children, both Of whom are mar
ried. Upon probating the viii this state
Of affairs was discovered, and the son
aud Mrs. Townsend determed 10 divide
the property equally between the four
children, and so offered, upon condition
that the amount given 70 the two daugh-
ters excluded by the terms Of the will,
should 20 to the daughters and their chill
dren, and no one else. This offer was
made with a view Of adhering as
much as possible to the spirit and inten-
ton Of the will From some cause or
other the proposition was not accepted,
and tho dianheriied daughters began
suit to break the will Hon. W. ]. Allen
