The Austin Rsveillo tells a wonderful
story CT two huge rats which have been
amusing themselves in that burg by
carrying off sacks of barley, bread,
beans. tobacco. knives, forks, harness
and u pipe. The rodents must have
been preparing for u season Of real EN-
loyE:ent. but we think they were lack
ing in Intelligence or they would have
added To their store a generous supply
OF Budweiser Us well as u few d~eInijohus
Of real old Bourbon. But what did they
want with the harness Perhaps they
intended, on some convenient occasion
to steal a span Of horses aud 4 sleigh,
with which to Hmuse themselves during
the coming long. dreary Winter.
They are said to differ from the Nor
way rat in ''hsving heavier legs. thin
broad ears and q long. stiff moustache
which projects about three inches on
each side. The tail il about seven
inches long, thickly covered with short
hair. and terminating in a nice silken
tnssel." As tassels are much used in
ornamenting ladies' wear, why would it
not be a profitable industry to cultivate
Austin rats for the tassels on their tails

that a meeting be called for the purpose of
repeating Art. 16 OF the Bylaws to be held
after three weeks public notice. Adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.
The repeal of the Bylaws refers to that
part applying to the exclusion of horses

with reuctancy that their fine executive
ability in the management of the Society
was parted with.

A New Invention In our last issue
we briefly noticed the fact that Mr.. John
a. McNeal, of this county, had obtained II
patent foi clamp Tor pillow beams. This
clamp has for its object the Strengthening of
beams of plows against undue strain when
used in rough ground or when heavy plow-
ing is to be done, thus allowing a lighter or
weaker beam, or one of softer wood, to be
used when desired The inventor claims
for it the following points Of excellence;
/. A rengthening- clamp for pillow beams,
combining "A straining- rod, Il tightening de-
vice and bearings for the rod, and adapted
to be applied to and removed from the pIow
beam at pleasure.
2. The combination, with IA pillow beam,
Of IA Strengthening clamp composed Of IL
strainingrod u tightening device and bear
ings for the rod, whereby the beam may be
REINFORCED without interfering with the
standard or attachments of the pillow.
B. The combination, with the plow-beam,
straining rod, tightening device and bear
ings OF grooved metallic plate or plates ap-
piled at or near the end of the beam.
A. A strengthening clamp, composed Of
"A U-shaped strainiDg-rod adapted to run
each side Of the pillow beam, Il Tightening de-
vice and bearings for the rod.
s. In clamp for strengthening II plow-
beam, the combination of II U-shaped strain
ing rod, a tightening-screw or its equivalent,
bearings for the rod and Earthquakes at or
near the ends of the beam.
The clamp for two-horse pillow is made
of halfinch round Norway iron, and will
stand draught Of fifteen hundred pounds
without breaking on IA beam made Of com
mon pine, or IA broken one. They act equal
ly well on iron-beam plows. This nven-
ton promises to be very useful to farmers.
