An interesting battle took place on the
farm owned by MIR. Abram Wallace, and &C.
cupied by c. w. Given, last week. The COM
batants were Horace Given and f. Bolton, a
neighbor, and a large family of minks, which
| had been very destructive among the poul-
try in that section. The gentlemen sue
| ceeded in putting a stop to these frequent
raids, by killing the entire family, with the
exception of one. 1t consisted of one pair of
old ones and five young ones, four of which
were killed by a single shot from MI. Given's
gun; two more we're killed with clubs, so
| that only one of the seven succeeded in
making good its escape. The battle was
very exciting TO those engaged in it, and
was also very amusing to those who had the
pleasure of watching the frantic actions of
the combatants. We think, however. that
| the gentlemen deserve praise for their sue
cess.
