There was quite an exciting time last week one evening at one of the factories of this town between a rat and tom-cats. In this case rat was caught and put in room, then those that worked in the factory put in cat that had the reputation of being a great rat ter, but she seemed to be afraid, when one of the employees said if his kitten was only in the room for minute, that rats doom was sealed, so he was told to get it, and she, see- ing the rat and the other cat together enjoy ing quiet sleep, thought she would not kick up a row, so she went by the stove and did likewise. That made some of the men pres- ent exasperated and one was willing to bet $5. that ii Thomas cat, with his large massive jaws was present, he would soon masticate that rat so he went and got Thomas, his pride of all the cats he owned, and put him in the room with the rest. After looking around and seeing the rest, he of course thought it was categorical meeting, opened the meet ing with prodigious meow, and as none of the rest replied, he thought he would im- proveTthe tune as the rest did, in sleep ing. These cats all belong to the humane so- ciety, and would not think of being cruel enough to kill @ poor defenceless rat, and if there are any maiden readers or those who contemplate being such, and wish to procure one of the cats as fair compensation, they can do so by addressing CAPT. SMooTHE.

 to have been killed in this state.

 The Brooklyn bridge is again the cause of no little anxiety on the part of New Workers It is rumored on one side that it will be un- safe, and on the other, that even if safe it will never be worth to the city half the money it has cost. Before we get through, twenty million dollars will have been sunk, and per haps more This sum would have bought every ferry running between New York and Brooklyn, and left enough money over to run them on the interest free of charge for all time. If New York could get back half the money that has gone into the bridge it would be glad to have the whole thing sink into the water. But now that so many millions have been spent. it is folly to hesitate; let us have it finished and see what il amounts to as a convenience. It. seems pretty certain that a large quantity of defective wire has gone into the construction of the cables, through the villainy Of the defaulter, Haigh, the wire man. ufacturer. The engineers of the bridge in- sist that they have added enough good wire to make up for it, but doubt once thrown upon a structure of this daring kind is hard to re- move. And now one of the bridge company resigns this week because he is not satis- fed with the way in which business is done in the board.-Nesc Fork Letter.
