A household in Gore had an interesting experience of which the ladies are not asking a repetition. A terrior raised a stoat which had found its way into the garden, and the animal, being hard pressed, darted into the dining room of the house, to the consternation of the ladies and children present, who immediately called for male assistance. The terrier, however, followed hard upon the stoat, which turned upon its pursuer, and springing for the throat, secured a hold which promised ill for the dog. The terrier, however, managed to twist the body of his quarry sufficiently to get a grip of the back. The way it was long, and road if was dark, And Ihe wayfarer fell in the pond in the park, 4-nd it filled him right up to the piimsoll mark, And pot only filled but chilled him I He contrived to get home all a shiver and shake, He’d a terrible cold and had swallowed a lake, But Woods’ Peppermint Cure they induced him to take, Or the cold that he caught would fiave killed him. t>.
