A Remarkable Ra .
We often hear stories ret ated p
the wonderful cunning an4 know

says the Ogdensburg 'Joteenitt, of
recent occurrence, in which'a rea
old gray rat was the hero, and th
incident whereof teok place in tha
city, which is equal to the best.
lady who has a number of fine hens
to which she has devoted a goo
deal of care and attention durin
the winter, in hopes to obtain
early and fair crop of fresh eggs
was surprised at the meagre resul
acttielly reached. The bens mad
noise, in singing and cackling, enougl
for every day layers, and yet onl
occasionally did she get an egg. .Th
lady -at length determined to wata
operations and ascertain, if possible
the cause of failure. She saw th
hens go upon the nest, but if sh
was not present when they came- o
no egg was found. At length con
stant watching and waiting solved
the mystery. A_ day or two since
while on the watdh, a hen came o
,
the nest and caromencedcackling.
. .
Almost instantly an oid rat cam
out of a- hole, and runniag into •
barrel which was thrown 6 own upo
its side, and in which the hen's nes
was, at once nosed the egg out up'
r it
the ground, then 'laid down upon its
i
back, and, getting the egg betwee
its forepaws and, nose; commence
squealing, when two other rats cam
out, and. takige the rat with the eg
by the hind legs, dragged - it—egg
and all—into the hlole. The lady
affirnas thatehe can substantiate the
foregoing fact by at least three livin
witnesses. If any one can tell I.
more remarkable story than this w
would like to hear it. .

published his own biography, one of

that hasppeareddaring the present
century. One passage is as follows:
