A SINGING MOUSE

Yesterday gentleman Of this city
informed US, that several nights SINCE,
his little daughter came to his ROOM
and told him that there was little
bird in her room that was singing very
sweetly aud insisted upon his coming
to her room and listening to it. = The
gentleman thought that it was u katy
did his child had heard and put her on
by telling her to go to bed that ne
would be there in a few minntes.,a a
night or two after he was awakened by
HIS wife, and told to listen, that thefe
was mocking bird in their ROOM. ne
listened minute aud Gonclndeu ctnat
1t was Il bird across the way singing,
aud got up aud went to the window,
but could hear no sound from thestreet,
and was cbnvinced that the ,Aoiset was
made in his room. He struck Il match

within y foot of where he lighted the

not as loud as those Of the mockinK birt,:
The mouse has been heard by several
