on the hearth, and retired for the night.
Some time during the night they were
aroused by a terrible racket down In
the store, and after contsuiltation It was
found that there was not a weapon in
the crowd, and to add to their friht,
bethought themselves that they lad
noticed t wo strange me~n, or 'tramps,'
sitting near the dIoor before retiring.
However, something must be dlone,
andl as they flied downt the steps John
nile N , seized an axe, Me. B., a pitch
fork, and Willie R., a scoop, and thus
armed commenced the raid, each one
being on a sharp look-out, and expect
in~g mortal combat at every step, and
no doubt wish ing that he . was some
where else; when all of a sudden out
rolled a huge cat with his'head wedged
in the oyster can so tight that it could
not be extricated. The cat had been
running over the house striking every.
thing before it. We venture to assert
that pistols or shot-gun~s could be found
in that room now.
