Terrible Combat with Rats.

The Carlisle (Pa.) Herald relates the
following: Mr. Jesse Laverty Of East
PENNSYLVANIA was lately very much annoy
made sad work with his corn in his crib,
and then invaded his granary and com
menced destroying bin OF wheat. On
examination he found there was but one
place where they got in. He therefore
resolved to Kill the rats by an artifice well
worthy of the cause. He StreWed corn
meal literally on the floor of the granary
and about one hour later he nailed up the
hole. Then calling his dog Ca Spanish
terrier) and arming himself with club,
he went forth to battle.
"Now, the door of the granary is fast
ened with long wooden latch extending
clear across it, and can only be opened
from the outside, and Mr. L., on entering
the granary, drew the door-shut and heard
the latch fall He then thought that the
enemy was his, but this was an error. The
rats were more numerous than he expect
ed, and finding no way of escape, they at
tackled both him and his dog with great
fury. Mr.. l.. laid on his blows hard and
fast, and one blow, aimed at a rat untOr-
tunately hit the dog on the head and kill
ed him.
Being thus deprived of his faithful ally
he would have fled, but he could not, and
he then commenced calling for help. The
rats meanwhile kept skirmishing around
his legs, ran up his body, bit his hands,
and one bolder than the rest bit his nose.
IL is impossible to say what the result OF
this unequal contest would have been had
not a passing neighbor, attracted by the
noise and cries, gone to the relief. When
rescued he presented a shocking spectacle
his face and hands bloody, and his clothes
torn into shreds.
"When his wounds were cared for he hit
on a better plan Of warfare Borrowing
twelve cats, which, with his own, made
fifteen, he in the evening shut them up in
the granary with the rats, and the next
morning he found on examination ten
dead cats, one blind one and two with one
eye apiece. The remaining two were I'M
hurt, and by actual count he found l19
dead rats. OF the dead dog there was
nothing left but the bones and hair, the
rats doubtless having eaten him while Mr.
Layerty was hunting cats

CINCINNATI has Just experienced a thrill
ing sensation, the occasion Of which was
nothing less than the escape of an enrao-
ed lOness from It's cage in the geological
garden there. The cage containing the
animal, q fine tW0-ycar-old specimen, had
Just been taken ont OF its winter quarters
that its occupant might have the benefit of
the fresh air. Shortly alterWard a boy
employed on the grounds passed the cage
leading by q halter a mule The boy
stopped in front Of the cage OF the queen
OF beasts to admire her beauty. but no
sooner had the lioness set eyes upon the
iilstarred donkey than she cr0uched in
the back part of her cage and, with a
roar that startled the echoes, sprang
against the bars, swapping them like
threads, and landed upon the mules back
The boy escaped with only a slight scratch,
but the donkey was terribly lacerated by
the claws and teeth of the iioncss. After
this the li0ness quilted the donkey and
bounded away through the park Soon
the news spread that the enraged lioness
was loose in the park and the greatest

city. Excited with its freedom, the ami

There was the nearest approach to y
quarrel in the family of a Commercial
Street merchant yesterday, says the Port
land Advertiser 1t appears The head of
the house arose from his slumbers and
attired himself, all but his coat That
couldn't be found. He put on another
one and went to business. The coat was
afterwards found hanging on a nail in the
servant girls apartment. Whether the
gentleman had been carried there in his
Sleep, il Ia Bessie Turner, the indignant
wife didn't stop to inquire, but when her
husband arrived home to dinner that an
grv spouse went for him in "accents low
but strange" 10 his ears The wicked
'trollop'' was called up, but her explana-
ton was entirely satisfactory. 1t seems
the husband retired after his wife, and
forgot his coat, which he left on a chair
in the sitting room, and left the gas up
for Bridget. When Bridget returned she
threw her shawl over an adjoining chair.
Before going to bed she turned off the
gas and then took up her shawl-as she
supposed - and carried it up stairs and
hung it on the nail in her ROOM When
she came down stairs in the morning she
forgot it.
THERE is a YOUNG MAN in Dubuque,
Iowa, who is anticipating horsewhip-
ping, and there is not the slightest doubt
he deserves it. lie is dry goods clerk,
moral youth, and one who parts his hair
as it should be. A couple of ladies late
ly entered the store where he is engaged,
and one Of them asked to be shown some
bleached muslin. The moral clerk laid
several bolts on the counter, and the lady
ran one of her hands underneath to test
the fabric. The young man ran his hand
underneath the muslin from the other side
and squeezed the lady's hand significantly.
She didn't blush and look unconscious,
though, and encourage The fellow. She
Just Withdrew her hand and addressed
that young man as mad woman does
address man sometimes, and so the
whole thing was exposed. And now the
local paper is urging the lady's husband
to 60 on with his horsewhipping, and
good deal of fun seems promised to every
body, the moral clerk, of course, except
ed. But the main point of the incident is
in the light it throws on some things.

A man named Morrison called at several
houses along Second street from Western
Avenue to Fillmore street this morning
asking for something to eat. He represent
ed himself as a wounded soldier, and had
his left leg bandaged, and walked with a
cane, saying he had running sore, from a
minnie ball shot during the war, which he
had been able to get no relief for. He said
he belonged TO the 14th Illinois Infantry
and showed his discharge. At the foot oi
Western Avenue was skif tied up, and he
was seen TO go down TO the river, sit in the
boat short time, and eat something, but
10 notice was taken of him until he wa.
seen short time after out from the shore,
pulling to the opposite side. For some rea.
son he got up to 60 TO the stern, and in
doing 20 the boat keeled over to one side
and he was thrown out. He was seen to
rise to the snrface, but the boat was beyond
his reach. He made some frantic efforts to
swim, and a man on the levee who saw the
accident ran up the bank to get another
skifi, to 20 to his assistance, but says he did
not see him again. The man was drowned
1t is not known where he came from, or
where he lived.
ANU We nave vet W uLOtICI -CaDe
OF drowning, which occurred yesterday af.
ternoon about half-past l o'clock. A party
OF eight youths went down to Oferman's
Island yesterday morning in a skiff, to
spend the day picnicing, ETC., taking theii
dinner with them. At the hour above
stated, some three or four of them proposed
taking a swim, and no sooner said than
they put into execution. One of the young
men in the crowd, named Joe Koe, who Wa
employed in LeClaire's broom factory, on
Main street, between Third and Fourth,
not being able to swim, waded in and allow.
ed himself to be pulled along through the
water-he holding the stern of the skif.
After a while be asked those in the skiff to
row in to shore, as he wanted to wade lit
tie by himself. They did SO, and pulled
away again. While young Roy was wading
along in the water up to his waist he was
seen 10 suddenly sink, and rise again,
and make some efforts to swim. At this
tine his companions were at distance Of
some fifteen or twenty yards from him, and
before they could get to him and
render him any assistance, he sank
to rise no more. 1t appears that
while walking along the shore, he came
to the edge of one of these treacherous
ledges lining the shore Of the Island, and
stepped of into water perhaps ten or fif.
teen feet deep. Not being able to swim,
and being terrible scared by the realization
of his danger, he swallowed too much wa
ter and was drowned very readily. His
companions procured seine and dragged
the river up and down for some distance
in the vicinity all the afternoon, and did
not succeed in finding the body. Young
Roy's friends live in Illinois somewhere
but whrt point is not known.-Duucapm1

DoubIe Tracks,

Last week the workmen completed
the second track of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad
and it was expected the connection
would have been made and trains use
the track on Sunday, but it was
thought prudent, on account of recent
heavy rains, first to allow the road bed
to settle firmly. 1t Is thought the new
time tables will he put into operation
the first of next month. The work Just
completed fills gap of fourteen miles
between Aberdeen and Chase's Station
The road now has q steel rail double
track throughout, between Baltimore
and Philadelphia. The last fourteen
miles, including widening of the Gun
powder and Bush river bridges, two
miles was done within four months.
