What Influenced the Cat.
From the Norwich Conn. Bulletin.

From the Norwich Conn. Bulletin.
A Preston farmer, finding that the rats
were making sad havoc with the provend-
err in his cellar, purchased a cat that was
recommended as mouser. For a while
after not a mouse was to be seen, and
their depredations ceased entirely. This
apparent success made the old man boast
that Tab was more'n an ordinary cat, -"
and the animal soon had the confidence
of the whole family. Two months had
not passed, however, before the servant
girls old familiar cry was heard about

the tale so next day he took it upon him
self to watch the cat when she was taking
her meals, and sure enough out came an
old rat, exhibiting familiar air and per-
feet delight in the presence of Tabby, at
whose dish he refreshed himself without
IN the least exciting the ire of the cat.
This novel relationship was continued, but
the servant girl could not be restrained
from screeching and dropping the crock
cry every time she saw the animal. This
made the thing so expensive that the far
mer concluded to kill the rat He was a
good marksman, but the interest that had
excited sympathy for the animal was in
his heart unnerved him for the deed, and
his aim was inaccurate. and he missed the
