A gentleman, resident on Cedar street
of this city, was enjoying the cool of the
evening on his veranda a few nights ago
whrn he thought he saw cat cross the
veranda and enter the house. Cats being
common to the locality he gave the matter
no thought until he entered his dining-room
half hour later and found big opossum
perched upon the table and devOuring the
remains of the supper that had been left
upon the table. Being kind-hearted man
and knowing the opoSSum had a fineappetite
he lett the animal at the feast, closed the
dining-ro0m door and retired to bed. Next
morning no 'possum. A search was be-
gun and at length the opoSsum was discov-
cred in the bread safe. and what was more,
there were eight other 'pOssums there, very
small. but very lively, who vanished into
their mothers pouch as soon as the lid Of
the safe was raised.-OFegon Statesman.
