gentleman residing in Kingston visited
Marlborough last week, and relates to the
Kingston Leader a very amusing incident
that occurred when he was there, and in
which he himself took part. 1t appears that
he was taking a rest in a hammock that was
swung between two trees-one cherry and
the other a mulberry tree He was lying
with his head toward the cherry tree. Just
off to one side from the mulberry tree there
was an apple tree The limbs of these trees
came together and interlsced one another.
While our friend was there enjoying himself
and quietly smoking a cigar and in rather
reverie, he noticed a squirrel run up the nul-
berry tree and after awhile run out on one of
its branches that intertwined with those of
the cherry tree. The squirrel began biting
off the mulberries one by one and letting
them fall upon the face of the gentleman in
| the hammock. Finding that this did not an
noy him any, the squirrel, after dropping
quite number of mulberries one by one,
went Off He shortly afterward came back
with two other squirrels, and then all three
began biting off the mulberries and dropping
them into the face of the gentleman in the
hammock. This performance was kept up
i by the three for some time, but as our friend
did not stir, being intently engaged upon
watching the performance of the squirrels,
| they finally ran off, the first squirrel had
| done. The gentleman saw them run back to
the trunk of the mulberry tree and then out
: upon a branch of the tree which interlaced
with the branches of the apple. Each of the
squirrels, on reaching the tree, bit off a
small green apple, and then ran back the
same way that they had come-to their old
position on the cherry tree, when each of the
| squirrels dropped the apple in the face of the
! gentleman. Finding that this did not dis
turb him, they then gave up the sport, il
sport it was to them, and running away the
gentleman did not see them again, and spent
| the remainder of the time in the hammock,
| trying to cipher out what their actions meant.
| The first squirrel must have had some com
| munication with the other two to bring them
at first, and they must have afterw ards acted
| in concert when they went after the apples.
| He wants to know whether their actions were
directed by instinct or whether they possess
reasoning powers
