An Industrious Clerk,

Peter Lamb, the clerk in the drug
store in our village, says Max Adeler,
read somewhere the other day that two
drops of the essential oil of tobacco
placed upon the tongue Of cat would
kill the animal instantly. He did not
believe it, and he concluded to try the
experiment, to see if it was so. Old
Squills, the druggist, has a tom cat
weighing almost fifteen pounds, and
Mr. Lamb, taking the animal into the
back room, shut the door, opened the
cats mouth, and applied the poison.
one moment later a wild, unearthly
M-e.e.e-e-ow-ow-ow |" was emitted
by the cat, and to Mr.. Lambs intense
alarm the animal began swishing
around the room with hair on end and
tail IN convulsive excitement, screech-
ing like fog whistle. Mr.. Lamb is
not certain, but he would consider it q
fair estimate to say that the cat made
the entire circuit of the room, over
chairs and under tables, seventy-four
times every minute, and he is willing
to swear to seventy times, without
counting the occasional diversions
made by the brute for the purpose of
at MIR. Lambs pantaloons
and hair. Just as Mr.. Lamb had about
made up his mind that the cat would
conclude the gymnastic exercises by
eating him, the animal dashed through
the glass sash of the door into the
shop, whisked two jars of licorice root
and tooth brushes off the counter,
tore out tbe'ipecac bottle and four Jugs
Of hair.dye, smashed a bottle of "Balm
of Peru" Lit on the bonnet of woman
who was drinking soda water, and,
after few convulsions, rolled over into
soap box and died. Mr.. Lamb is
low satisfied that cat actually can be
Killed in the manner aforementioned,
out he would be better satisfied if old
9quills didn't insist upon deducting
he price of those drugs and the glass
ash from his salary.

Lancashire Brutality.

The following is from the London
Daily Telegraph! cat the ST..
Helen's police court six young men,
colliers, were charged with diaboli.
cal act of rufianism. A few nights ago
they made an attack ON several cottages
in the suburb of Parr, smashing the
windows and doors. One house was
occupied by a man named McGrath,
over eighty years of age, and his wife.
They forced an entrance, struck light,
and then assailed the occupants. At
the outset one of McGrath's eyes was
knocked out of his head, and he was
kicked to the floor. A bucket of newly
Stacked lime happened to be convenient,
and the ruffians holding open the mouth
of the unfortunate man, forced some of
the liquidized lime down his throat.
The empty socket of his eye was also
filled with the same material and then
the contents of the bucket were
emptied upon him. Heappeared to be
dead after this treatments and some of
them expressed that opinion. His
wife was kicked and beaten savagely,
but managed to get away for the police.
Colonel Gamble, j. p, had to take the
deposition of McGrath, at the st.
Helen's Hospital, where he lies quite
blind. There was not the slightest
ground for the outrage. The prisoners
were committed for trial."
