A little alligator aboul n i*?>* > t lung tvas discovered ??n Tuesday afternoon under ehlnglee un tin- roof of the res? idence of Mrs. M. S. Nelson, 228 Church street, whore workmen were employed making repairs <>n the roof i?t' tiie building. The workmen no? ticed the Hille amphibian and then threw it to the ground, when' it was picked u; this morning and placed in a receptable containing water, it was very much alive when first discovered, but this morning it was unconscious and seemed t?> be nearing Its end. There seems to be but little doubt that the reptile is an alligator, as man) scoffers who came to see it were convinced that it belonged to the alligator tribe, as soon as they took a good look at it. it was suggested at 11 rat that it was some hind of lizard or scorpion, but its shape and appear* snee indicated rather that it was no! me of these, but an alligator. How the little reptile came to be in his nigh perch, where he was securely housed under the shingles, is a mys ? ry t licit the reader must solve. Miss Nelson, who now has the ani? mal In charge, is anxious to raise it md Is doing her best to keep it alive. DELEGATES TO CHRISTIAN EN DgAVOR.
