Description OF an Animal Well Known TO
Farmers Boys.
The family Of the raccoons is CON
fined n-ts-distFibHtio TO America.
There are two genera-Nasua TO which
the coatimondi Of Mexico belongs, and
Procy0n, which includes the common
raccoon. The latter animal (ProcyOH
iotor) Is found in almost every State Oh
the Union, and wherever abundant has
the reputation Of being a destructive
rogue; but not infrequently the ragages
ascribed to this species are in reality
caused by other animals. To ripe corn
the coon is particularly destructive,
breaking down the stalks TO get at thu
juicy ears, and committing sad havoc.
Rarely II enters the poultry-hOusc. but
when IL does II Is apt to leave a sanguin
AIRY scene behind It, usually eating only
