of a cat nur.-ing a young rat. Mr.
Jas. A. blerryman, of Malboro, we
are reliably informed, several week.
ago caught four young rats, eyes not
then open, and gave them to a cat
to eat. She ate throe of them but
has kept the other ever since nursing
,it just as she does her young kittens
of whih' bho had several born just
before the rati were given to her.
This has been seen by twenty or
-,more, persons of that vicinity. \Ve
re furthermore informed that this
Pame oat is also nursing a young
puppy, which does not seem altogeth.
er sd remarkable as the other iow
ever as cats do not often eat puppies,

vhen they get an opportunity.

C' C( LD AN Ciors.-This has
been a very cold spring In these
parts and the late frosts, freezes and
cold winds and rains have done con.
siderable damage and retarded farm
ing operations. Little or no irijury "
has been done to field crops beyond &
onu:ing delay in their planting, as
there was scarcely any cotton up. 8
The corn was nipped considerably
and in some spots completely bitten
down, though most, if not all, come
out again, and grow off as mell A8 d
ever, though it will, of course, be
made a little backward. Small
grain looks very fine and promises a
heavy yield. Sone of the more ad.
vanned may possibly have been in
j1tred by the cold, though we have no
complaint to that effect. The fruit
is very seriously injured and there
will lie a short crop of peaches and d
mnost su.nmer fruits. (Ourdens were C
very munch damaged, all the early ~
vegetables which are tiusceptible of
injury from cold being badly bitten I
