For the last two months a black and
white Thomas cat has been making the
rounds regularly with members of the night
police. He fret made his appearance on
Main street about the time the old building
was being moved from the Cote aud
Gvoux lot. and since then has missed only
one night--that of the snow storm. No
one knows where he came from; he will
not permit himself to be petted and some
who have tried. to do this, have received
sundry bites and scratches. He has never
been known to eat anything, although the
policemen have offered him food several
times, still he is in goo order, and eyid emit
ly gets abundant sustenance from some
quarter. Altogether he is = very peculiar
cat and deserves place in the history of
ssgacious felines, should such be written.
