A Robin and Cat story from Ma,n..

A Robin and Cat story from Maine.
The Portland (Me.) Press Of
Friday tells it as follows: "a gen.
tleman residing on Chestnut street
has cat Of unusual intelligence
and quick wit, but not enough to
save her from ignominiOus defeat
by the usual victim of the feline
tribe-a robin. 1t happened thus:
Wednesday evening the cat was
noticed walking lazily across the
street, when a robin was observed
to pounce from the air directly
upon her head, striking it with con-
siderable force. The cat attempted
to strike the bird with her paw, but
failed again and again. AS the
robin persisted in its attacks, at
length the cat attempted to flee;
but the robin was undoubtedly
mad, and made such persistent re-
newals Of the contest, or rather per-
secution, Tabby changed her tao
tics and lay on her back, evidently
waiting to strike the robin if he
should make another swoop. The
bird, well understanding the strata
gem, retired to the neighboring
fence, with eyes still fixed on the
PROSTATE cat, who was soon fright,
ened by a passing team, only to re-
ceive another blow from her en-.
ragged antagonist as soon as flight
was attempted. This unequal con
test was kept up for some minutes.
and always in favor of the bird, til
some boys frightened at the sam,
moment both contestants, thus end
ing the battle"

Of the last week has taught the
people OF this city q lesson OF good
sense that they will be the better all
the rest of their lives for having
learned, They can see now that
tho sun is a thing to ho dreaded as
much as the worst of plaques, when
the thermometer ranges above
ninety, and that any man isunwist
who does not use an umbrella o.
