FRIGHTFUL ENCOUNTER WITH
RATs.-What do our Emmittsburg
rat slayers think Of this for a rat
story, as told by a Pennsylvania ex-
change:
A farmer named Laferty, residing in
East Pennsboro' township, Cumberland
county, had y rather rough encounter with
a regiment of rats recently, says the Me
chanicsburg 1ndcpendent-Journal MIR. Il.
discovered that rats were making serious
raids upon his grain. He determined to
dccoy rs many as possible of them into the
granary; and when that was done, to con-
vert the granary into slaughter house.
His bats having proved ample and speedi-
ly successful, he prepared himself for the
slaughter, taking with him into the rat
prison his rat terrier, and arming himself
with club.
He found the grain bins fairly alive with
rats, and every one of them determined TO
die game. Early in the conflict, while ilr.
l.. was striking right and left with his
cudgcl, an i'll directed blow laid his plucky
terrier dead at his feet. The prospect was
now anything but cheering for MIR: L..
Upon entering the granary he thoughtless,
| " closed the door after him, which could
be opened only from the outside Tue
odds were greatly against him, his rclent-
less foes ran upon hun, tore his clothes to
shrcds tore his hands and his face, and the
case was becoming truly desperate, when,
at last, help came to him from without in
answer to his cries.
Mr.. Lat'crty then suspended hcstilities
for the time repaired to the ncighbors'
houses for cats, procured ten, added five OF
his own to these, and confined them all in
the granary over the night. The next
morning he visited the slaughter house and
found ten dead cats, tive with eyes entirely
out. two nearly blind, and one unhurt.
On the other side there were strcWn over
the grain and floors one hundred and forty
dead rats

they throw from ten to fifteen dead
rats out eli the stable every morning
these being killed by his English Ter

A WonD or ADVICE. About this
time look ont for colds. The change
of weather has been sudden, aud there
will be much unhealthy exposure.
Colds have an unusual tendency this
season to result in pneumonia or in
hammaton of the lungs, a disease that
has carried off a great many, who, but
for slight and neglected cold, might
yet have enjoyed life and good health
for many years. There is no specific
rule for guarding against tins dan.
gerous disease, but the exercise Of
good common sense will do much to
prevent taking cold. Wet feet, going
from warm room into the chilly air,
laying off warm wrapplngs, after a
brisk walk, in a room insutliciently
heated, sleeping in damp or cold
bed before the body and feet have
become sufficiently warm, are among
the most common methods Of exposure
All these can easily be guarded against.
While pneumonia is in the air, as it
certainly now is, great deal Of extra
caution can be exercised with profit.
