Boston Fish Story.

Several months ago lady residing
on Beacon street took off number
of rings from her fingers and laid
them upon her dressing table. After
washing her hands she returned to the
room to replace her rings, when to
her astonishment one of them, dia-
mond ring, was missing. She was
certain that she took the ring from
her finger, and equally certain that
no one could have entered the room
without her knowledge during the five
minutes she had been in the bath
room. A most rigid search was in
stituted, but the missing ring, valued
at 5000, was not found. A few weeks
since the lady was much annoyed by
mice. Almost nightly they held their
revels., They not only destroyed her
sleep, but choice laces were mutilated.
The lady procured a trap, one of the
old-fashioned kind, and having baited
it with tempting bit of cheese,
placed it near the scene of depreda-
tions. On the following morning she
had three fine silky mice of various
sizes. One of them was so peculiar
ly constructed that it attracted her
attention, as it appeared to have a
string tied around its body. The SER
want girl was instructed to drown the
captives and reset the trap, and she
was about throwing the dead mice
into the dirt barrel when her eye was
attracted by sparkle from what
proved to be the lost diamond ring,
which was not perceptible when the
mouse was alive, but which came to
light after the severe soaking which
the mouse received. 1t is supposed
in his haste to get away that he ran
his head through the ring, and SUBJ
sequent struggles only forced it over
his forelegs, where it remained. This
is a tough story, but we give it as it
was told.-Journal.
