Sheep killed by Cats. Incredible as this may sound, 

 we have good authority for saying the deed has actually 

 been perpetrated in this county. Several cats of the 

 common species with their progeny, .have for three or 

 four years past made an old sturie quarry in Martic 

 township their abiding place, and in that time it would 

 seem have relapsed to the wild state and acquired the 

 ferocious and predatory habits natural to their tribe. A 

 short time ago some of them were seen in pursuit of a 

 lull grown sheep belonging to the flock of Mr. Martin 

 llerr, of that vicinity. They soon overtook it, drag- 

 ged it to ti.e ground, and before the person who wit- 

 nessed the scene could reach the spot, they succeeded 

 in so lacerating the poor animal's throat, that it bled to 

 death in a short time. It required considerable exertion 

 to drive them otf. A dog subsequently sent in pursuit 

 of them, caught one, but would probably have been 

 himself worsted in the conflict that ensued, had not the 

 owner come to his rescue. It is said that they also pur- 

 sued a small boy some time ago, and followed him a 

 considerable distance, as is now supposed with deadly 

 intent. — Lancaster Examiner. , 



Highest Tavern in Europe. A tavern has been built 

 on the summit of Mount Fulhorn in Switzerland : it 

 stands at an elevation of 8140 feet above the level of the 

 sea. As a matter of course, its guests one and all, net 

 lugh, and are charged high for their refreshments. 



People of Importance. Nobody likes to be nobody, 

 but every body is pleased to think himself somebody; 

 and every body is somebody, but the worst of thie matter 

 is, when any body thinks himself to be somebody, he is 

 too much inclined to think every body else to be nobody.

The subscribers keep on hand a constant supply of their 



" Prepared. I'a in t Oil," which is offered for saie Willi re •. . ,1 



assurances of its merit. This Oil, independent of being 25 



per cent, cheaper in price, will actually cover a quarter re 



surface, as has been repeatedly proved and confirmed by state- 

 ments of many Painters. Upwards of 200 buildings in this 

 city and vicinity can be referred lo, many of them p 

 two years ago, which continue lo look well, and retained their 

 gloss through the first year, which is a clear demonstration of 

 its strength. The Prepared Paint Oil is found to answer a 

 valuable purpose to mix wilh Linseed Oil, giving it strength 

 and durability with a more permanent gloss. It paints a very 

 clear while, flows smooth, and is more free from milldew, and 

 changes resulting from die sea air. than any other Oil.
