A Nice Cat Stony.—A gentleman living in Louisville has been greatly annoyed lately by a feline of the masculine gender, or, in. common parlance, a Tom-cat. That cat had a decided weakness for chickens, so did the gentleman, me ey raised several broods, but the cat always got the best of him. 1t would slip in the coop at night and carry off the fairest of the flock, leaving the geutleman only the feathers, which was hardly a fair division, Then that cat would dollect all the cats in the neighborhood, without regard to gender, and celebrate its triumph in high midnight carnival on the roof, treating the family toa freé Thomas (cat) concert, which . e sleeping out of the question. The wrath of that family was raised against that cat, and the next visit of the feline to the chicken coop resultthat cat the gentleman belonged to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or vengeance would have been quick and terrible, but as it was he tied the cat up ina sack and deposited it in the graveyard park. A young man who was passing soon after heard low cries in the grass. He supposed it was an insant left there to die by its mother, and he at. once gave the alarm, and soon a-large crowd gathered around the place. The young man, who-had . already generously proposed to adopt the little unfortunate, got over the fence and cut open the bag, wherea the cat sprung out on him, and his face now looks as if he had been dragged through a blackberry patch, Tur Live Oak, Florida,’ Times entertains these views: ‘‘We suggest that our churches employ some one to carry water to the thirsty congregation.

The first is from the wife, who is in 4 town in New York. She says: To——, Detroit: ‘‘Mother fell and broke her arm this morning.
