A LOAD OF POLE CATS.

A trolicsome fellow in tue southern part of Arkausas, wrote the follow ing notice and tackled it on a tree: "Glakins & O., the largest mer- chants ln our county, will pay five dollars apiece for every live pole cal delivered to them. This offer is made in view of the fact that pole cats have been suddenly discovered to be extremely valuable"
 Two or three weeks afterwards, as Col. Glakins was standing in fropt of his store, a strong whiff of some thing came around the house and al most knocked him down; and before he could recover from the shock, old Mulberry Patterson, a well-known hill farmer, drove around with kind of box wagon and stopped.
 Good Lord, Mulberry, what's the matter?" exclaimed the colonel.
 "Never mind, colonel, I've got lem. Nobody can make an appeal to me in vain. Whoa, there! They're fghtin' in thar, now, he added, as a terrible squall, followed by a decided supple ment to the already intolerable odor, came from the wagon bed.
 What on earth have you got in there?"
 "Pole cats, colonel"
 "Well d-- it, drive on away"
 "Whar must I drive? Whar do you want em put?"
 'Put them where yon please, so you take them away from here"
 "What sort O a business man air yer? Have me an my boys pokin' all aroun' over the hills after pole cats an then won't take 'em?"
 q tell you to drive away from here. l had nothing to do with your catching the devilish things. Whew."
 Didn't you stick up signs notify in the public that you wanted pole cats?"
 sNo, I didn't"
 "Wall, I reckiT yer did fur I seed- one myself. I've got sixty cats here. Gin me three hundred dollars an take 'em."
 ''If you don't go away from here I'll shoot the top of your crazy head off"
 All right, I'll leave the cats here arr go to law about it, and he open ed the hind gate of the wagon. The cats poured out and after running around, having things pretty much their own way. they took refuge un- der the colonel's store-house. The old farmer drove away to consult a lawyer, and the colonel after trying vainly to dislodge the cats, decided to remove his stock of goods, which in fact, he was compelled to do. The case came up for trlal the other day, and the judge held that the colonel should have taken the cats, and therefore instructed the jury to bring in verdict of two hundred dollars and some "scents" in favor of the farmer.

An effectual way of destroying useless cannons has been hit upon in England. The experiments were made at the Royal Arsenal at Wool wich with several obsolete guns. Raising the muzzle of the gun sub mitted for destruction until it reach ed an elevation of 45 degrees, the of Gcials filled the bore with water, with which they sunk charges of gun cotton at varying depths, these being fired simultaneously by electricity. The guns were destroyed in every instance and So completely that every splinter was of handy size for remov- al. The officers were of the opinion that no better plan for destroying guns could be recommended,-S. F. Chronicle.
