RATS ON THE RAMPAUE. They lnvftile Kiiruiar'a I'reiuliwt' will Mulct, A (lritt StKht. The village of President, an old-timo petroleum center, is in the (111 creek at Pennsylvania. There is whom tlie Ramses, once a famous family of oil operators, had their home, and some of them live there and thereabout yot. One of these is Henry Karns. The other day, early m the morning, he hoard his pic which had reached the proper condition for killing, squealing in such an agonizing way in tlie pen that he know something was wrong with it. Karns' first thought was tear, for now and thou, even at this late date, bears venture from the dis tant woods to the sleepy towns in that part of the valley and try their skill on pigs and sheep. (So Karns took his pun and hurried to the pig pen. Hut instead of hears rats were the impudent in vaders of the pigpen and hungry assail ants of tiie pig. ilie Btyo was simnlv alive with rats. The pig was prostrate on the floor of llio non, and literally covered with this horde of rats, whieh wore squealing, lighting among themsolves for vantage ground on the fat porker, and gnush iag and gnawing at thu pig's flesh, i om his head to his rump. To fire hto !;un into the Swarming ruts would be tlie endangering of the pig, and think ing that a prompt and vigorous attack on the nits would put them to flight, he clubbed his gnu and began mauling right and left with it. Tuo pig hud jdainly made a dosperute light .agaiuht its nssailants, for scores of rnts lay dead about the pon. The moment Kiinis pitched into the nits those in the outer runks turned on him. They came at him in such force that ho was uu able to fight them off, and after i brief attempt to hold his ground he turned and fled. Hastening back to the house he drew the buckshot from bin gun and loaded it with fine shot, lie turning to the pen, he gave, the great body of ruts, shooting along the side of the pig so as not to injure it, the charge of both bar rels. .Many of them were swept down before it, but their plaeos were quickly taken by others. Karns fired llvo times. The rats that were left still held their ground. Tlie shots had attracted the attention of the neighbors, who run to tlie place to see what was going on. This arrival oi reinforcements alarmed the rats, and the survivors retreated, scampering away in all directions. The pig was .lead. The flesh had been stripped trom it clear to the bone in many places. Its eyes had been plucked out, and its heart half eaten in two. A half-'ousJiol basketful of dead rats wore taken from thu pen. Where the rodents came from so suddenly in such great numbers is not known. None of them has been seen since. NOTHING LIKE PRINTER'S INK. EUREKA MEAT MARKET, 11ASH0K & WH1DIJEE, Proprietor.
