an experience with a huge rat last Sat
urday morning and says that one such
is enough. He was at work i'll the cream
erv between 4 and O'Clock and descend
ing the stairs he thought he heard some
thing drop in barrel at the foot OF the
stairs. He wasin the dark but put his hand
into the barrel and was badly bitten.
Thinking it might be one of a litter of
puppies that had some how got into the
barrel, and yet surprised that one should
bite him 50 savageiy, hecalled the mother
of the pups and placed her in the barrel.
There was a scrmmage, crunching of
bones and there was one rat less in Island
Pond. 1t was monster, too. Mr..
Jackson at once cauterized his hand to
avoid poison. Strange, but up to two
or three years ago rat was rarely seen
in Island Pond, and it was asserted they
could not exist here, but now the place
is swarming with them.
