"A gentleman Of this CITY gives an in
teresting account of a recent attempt By
an eagle to carry off a cat, which occurred
al farm ON the bay shore Of Kent Coun-
ty, Maryland A young, medium-sized
ca, was treading leisureIy along in po-
tato patch, when large, full-grown eagle
swOOped down, and catching her in his
talon5 bore her up. Pussy griggled and
Inewed piteousiy for some moments, but,
suddenly seeming imbued with courage,
she began determined effort to obtain II
hold on her oppressor. SO great were her
struggles that the eagle was unable tO fly
longer and kept up continuous Mapping
Of It's wings to keep aloft. After much
exertion the cat succeeded in its object
and obtained firm grasp with her claws
on the breast Of the eagle, which made
every possible epdcavor to free itself, in
vain IL tapped its wings, shook its
body and appeared to heartily regret hav-
ing meddled with pussy in her peaceful
ways. Finally, as If in despair and ex-
| hanstion, il spread its broad wings and
| fell slowly to the bay. over which the
struggle had been going on. Immediately
| upon touching the water the cat loosed
| her hold and swan boldly ashore, while
the eagle upon being freed Of its trouble.
