Wednesday seemed to be a day OF
special luck for Thomas Roberts, as he
captured two large offers along Oldmans
,,ooL O1a 10 On I'd IN ha kha larroak o-o,
captured on the banks of this creek. At
any rate the largest captured during the
memory of the Oldest inhabitants. He
not only captured the offers, but also shot
twenty muskrats, and one piar of fiue
l-raccoons, which is considered a pretty
good days work for a lad of ten years.
1t appears that people living in this
locality have lost several of their young
fowls of late, owing to midnight
visitors. One chicken thief seems to
have made G. W. Given's poultry yard
headquarters for some time past. The
poultry was fast disappearing, but Mr.
Given never had the luck of catching the
iend at work until last Friday night,
when a portion of the family was aroused
by a disturbance among the fowls. Mr..
Given's son, Horace, at once went out to
find the cause, but seeing nothing
strange, returned to the house for q
lantern, with the aid of which he dis
covered the thief to be an opossum, oil
extra large size, and when weighed
drew the skales to nine pounds. 1t haG
done a great deal of damage, but Mrs
Given hopes she will not be bothered
with another such visit or soon again.
