Terrible Combat With Rats.

The Carlisle (Pa.) Herald relates the
| following: "Mr. Jesse Laverty of East
Pennsylvania was lately very much an
| noyed by rats, which carried off his eggs,
made sad work with his corn in his crib,
and then invaded his granary and COM
menced destroying a 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 "a Spanish
terrier) and arming himself with a club,
he went forth to battle.
Now. the door to the granary is fastened
with long wooden latch extending clear
across it, and can only be opened from the
outside, and Mr.. L., on entering the gran
ary, drew the door-shut and heard the
latch fall. He then thought that the enc
my 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 rat, unfor-
tunately hit the dog on the head and killed
him. Tsa
being thus deprived of his faithful al
ly he would have fed, but could not, and
he then commenced calling for help. The
rats meanwhile kept skirmishing around
his legs, ran up and bit his hands, and one
bolder than the rest bit his nose. 1t is i'm
possible to say what the result of this un-
equal contest would have been had not
passing neighbor, attracted by the noise
and cries, gone to the relief. When res
cued he presented shocking spectacle,
his hands and face bloody, and his clothes
torn into shreds.
When his wounds were cared for he hit
on 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
unhurt, and by actual count he found 119
dead rats. OF the dead dog there was
nothing left but the bones and hair, the
rats doubtless having eaten him while Mr..
Laverty was hunting CATS

Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your Vegetine medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the of saw
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years OF
age for the last two years he has suffered from
crosis of his leg. caused by scrofulous affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible. council of able
physicians could give us but the faintest hope Of
his ever ralyng; two of the number declar-
ing that he was be, ond the reach of human reme-
dies, that even amputation could not save him, as
he had not vigor enough to endure the operation.
just then we commenced giving him Vegetine and
from that time to the present he has been contnu-
ousy improving. He has lately resumed studies,
thrown away his crutches and cane, and walks
about cheerinlly and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was anced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vege-
tine, but lately put ttle as he declares he is
too well to be taking medicine.
