A PoLEcAT CAPTuRED.--A skunk was
taken in a rabbit trap, one day last week, by
the son of a citizen Of tais district, living in
the neighborhood of Warfeldsbnrg. The
father accompanied his son to the trap, and
discovering that there was an animal of some
kind in it, and not being able to make out
what it was, took the trap home under his
arm, in the belief that il contained an opos-
sum. The purpose was TO turn it loose in the
kitchen, but timely discovery of what the
animal really was, through the agency of the
oliactories, changed that purpose very sud-
denly. The trap was carefully taken up
again and carried some distance from the
house and the door of it opened, but the
"yarmint' refused to make its exit. Where
upon the gentleman got his gun and shot it,
The odor Of the animal was so great and over
powering that it several times produced nau-
sea, and the trap had to be burned.
