ceiyed from an old Indian, who showed
him q piece OF fine.looking coal which
no found while hunting. He offered to
show Mr.. Croker the place " he would
give him $40, which offer was readily
accepted. The Indian then took him
about fifty miles to o spot about fve
miles from the mine, which Mr.. Crocker
found by tracing the vein tho Indian
pointed out to him. The mine IL In o

half miles long. running north and
south, facing east, and about three miles
and q quarter across, the mountain dip

sixteen veins OF coal in sight. The bot

the next Is tho largest and most easy OF
access, and is moro than 40 feet thick;
tho next above,G0 feet; another OF about
thirty feet; five OF about twenty feet

EXPERIM ENTS on R.ITS.

An amusing experiment on rats wa
recently perpetrated in a mercantile
house in Petersburg, Vt. Two of these
animals had been trapped, and it was
decided to try the effects of whisky upon
them. Forty drops were administered
to each one Of them by force, and the
result awaited. They were placed in a
wide, deep box, into which some trash
and gravel had been thrown. A saucer
of whisky was also placed therein. For
| a while all was silent, each rat having
seated himself in a corner, where he re-
manned as mOrOSe as q rat could be. BY
and by, however, the liquor began to
work. The rats began to smile, and play
with their tails; then to jump up and
squeak; then to fall down and roll over.
Finally one of them found the saucer,
and, with the peculiar curiosity of his
race, dipped his nose into it. He drank,
and the noise Of his drinking brought
his companion to his side. They drank
as though they were really fond of the
stuff, and it is estimated more than
eighty drops. And now they got glo-
rious. They kissed each other-an act
two rats were never guilty of before.
They wrestled and kicked up shines gen
orally. They revisited the saucer, and
they got mad over it. A rough and
tumble fight ensued, which lasted until
both were exhausted. Then they re-
manned for a while, each with a paw to
his nose, grinning at each other. Finally
both fell asleep, and while both were
gloriously unconscious, a terrier was
dropped beside them. The curtain falls.
