The following story was told to us as
being a positive fact, the narrator pro-
Tossing to be one of the workmen who
witnessed the performance of the said
weasel: A party of men we're prying
stone in a field, and found under a large
rock a nest containing four young
weasels, which they captured and put to
one side. Upon the return of the old
weasel quite a scene ensued. She be-
came very excited and very angry, and
at once set of, but soon returned, and,
going to the little pail containing the
drinking water for the men, she spit
something in it, and was about to go off
a second time, when she discovered her
nest and her young, all alive and I'M
harmed. She Immediately returned to
the pail, and continued jumping and
pushing at it until it was overturned,
thus saving the life of the men she evil
IDENTIFY meant to punish for the destruc-
ton of her offspring.
