Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
[ From, the H.rald ct Mirror
One night last week, certain man in
North Middletown heard noise in one
of the rooms on the second story of the
house he was visiting. Arming himself
he remained below thinking the burglar
would come down shortly. That burglar
was in no hurry. and said man was in
no hurry to go up. He remained on the
watch until daylight, when he ventured
to the room where he had heard the
noise, and there discovered to his horror
large cat. The laugh is on the wrong
side of his mouth when his girl mentions
the burglar business.
