RAT KILLING EXTRAORDINARY. We
mentioned the other day that man was
employed, with ferrets, to remove the
rats from the Falmouth Hotel. they hay
ing become a perfect nuisance. After
closing all the holes in the house, except
those in the kitchen, the terrets were sent
in. A slide was put over the hole in the
kitchen to which string was fastened,
and the side of the aperture Amounted
with a peculiar oil. The ferrets drove
the rats into the room, and when the
room was full, the rat-killer armed with a
club, and supported by two terrier dogs,
went for them, having first let down the
slide so they could not escape. In this
manner some thousand rats were killed,
and there is not one left in the house
The dogs would seize them by the back,
give a shake, and it was all over with
them, while the mans club was welded
as swiftly as an Irishman's shillelah We
understand the United States Hotel is to

A Neat Robbery.

A gentleman named Henry Wittecraft,
a clerk at the Northern Central Railway
depot, was robbed of $1,000 in bank notes
at the counter of the first national bank,
No s South Gay Street, in a peculiarly
| adroit manner Mr. Wittecraft present
ed check for $4,000 to the paying teller
of the bank, for which he received two
packages of notes amounting to $1,000 each
and $1,000 in loose notes. He stepped
aside to count the money, and, prepare
| tory to placing it in his pocket book, laid
one of the packages on the counter, plac-
ing the loose notes on it and the other
package on the notes. While he was in
the act of producing the pocket-book in
| which he intended to place the notes, one
OF group of three men who were en-
gagged in conversation in the room called
Mr.. WIS attention to a check, and asked
him whether he knew the parties who
had signed it. As Mr.. Wittecratt turned
around to the men one of them suddenly
| disappeared Mr. Wittecraft after look
| ing at the signature, told the two men
| who remained in the room that he never
heard Of the names OF the signers, and
| then returned to the counter to get his
money packages. On taking up the notes,
what was his astonlshment to find that
| bills to the amount of $1,000 had been
| taken while his attention was directed to
| the two men. There mad been several
persons in the bank during the time Wit
tecraft was receiving and counting his
money, but no one was seen by any OF the
employees of the bank in close proximity
with him, and no person had been OBJ
| served whose motions or appearance
would lead to any suspicion Of having
been engaged in the robbery The police
authorities were Immediately notified,
but so far have been unable to obtain any
clue to the perpetrators OF the skull theft.
The three men were strangers at the
bank, nobody there seeming to know
| them. Suspicious are entertained that
| the man OF the party stole the money, and
that the other two were his accomplices.
