The question "Can animals reason f" has often been asserted 

 in the affirmative, asj often denied, and is yet unsettled. 

 There seems to hi- liul« doubt, however, that the most intel- 

 ligent animak do possess some reasoning powers, and uot a few 

 remarkable incidents have been related of the sagacity of some 

 of the. doiu'-slle animals. A well known gentleman of thiscity 

 gives tie following account of theounningstrategyof apuppy 

 to obtain agood ilinnerat the expense of a party of cats. The 

 cats consisted of a mother with a family of four sturdy kits, 

 all possessing to an unusual degree of fierceness au intense 

 antipathy for the canine race. The cats are. regula 

 substantial meal of meat and other appetizing viand.-, to 

 which, it is nocdless to say, puppy is not an in. n 

 Any approaches on hi> part were warned off with savage 

 growls and a liberal display of claws— so for a time the poor 

 dog looked on and enjoyed a soit of Barmicidal feast. But, 

 when tho other day the eats had a finer dinner than custom- 

 ary, puppy carefully considered the matter and deter 

 to make a bold move and secure his share of the ci 

 victuals. Accordingly he approached to a safe distauc 

 then executed, with great rapidity, a Hank movement upon 

 the enemy, and backing suddenly m anion- the surprised Cats,

One day las: week our reporter overheard a colored man. 

 W.Cook,' who lives «>me hvc miles below Ii la kely. telling a 

 merchant in this pla-ce that he had the best dog in the State, 

 lie saiil it was worth fifteen bales of low middling cotton, In 

 proof of this he asserted that tho dog had treed 35(1 'coons this 

 fall, aU of which were captured bv Bill, the dog uot lying iu a 

 single instance. Bill says he bus carried home 178 fox-squirrels 

 as a remembrance of Ins industrious hound, fourteen deers : 

 horns adorn Kills residence, all on account of the sagacity 

 of his unerring purp. Twenty-three wild turkeys hava 

 gobbled th. ir ia-tt nnc, all because Bill's faithful lo'ug-eared 

 animal dis.oven-1 their feeding place. One -huudrcd and ninety-
