A Strange Case. A female cat, owned by the proprietor of the Sparks Hotel, in Nicholasville. Ky., recently brought a mixed family into the world. She gave birth at one and the some time to throe kittens and to throe animals which, to all outward appearance* ore common gray squirrels. There? is nothing peculiar about the voung members of the feline race, they lieing pure-blooded cats. But the three ; youngsters which belong to the rod.-ntia lamilv have toils like their mother, while in all other points they are genuine squirrels. It is stated that the female cot formed an intimacy with a number of the gray squirrels which frequented the yard where she made her home, and it is presumod that in a moment of in tense desire she received the unnatural We have not given a personal ex amination to this freak of nature, but we state the case on the authority of gentle men who have made such examination, and on whose words we rely. It certainly is a singular cross, and doubtless will at tract the serious attention of naturalists. The case, in our opinion, does not come under the head of what is known as the vision theory. Something more than the simple association of the cat with the squirrel was required to effect the st-trt- ling change in the embryo or fetus. And yet the nature of tho squirrel is so widely different from that of the cat as to give rhkj to the thought that fruitful copula tion could not take place between the two.
