Story of a Moving Pumpkin.

A pumpkin was seen to walk across
the field by Mrs. Samuel II. Hight OF
Skowegan recently. When she saw
it she thought her eyes were deceiv-
ing her, but she soon perceived that
the pumpkin moved little way,
stopped and then turned in another
direction. She watched this object for
some time and told one of her neigh
bors. The mystery was solved, but
the two women did not dare to go
nearer the moving vegetable, but
called a man who knocked the pump
kin over and found polecat. The
skunk had crawled under the pumpkin
and stuck his head into a hole in it
and was unable to extricate himself
from it and had walked off as best he
could with the pumpkin on his back
