Porcupine. A lively lad had been to see his girl and was riding home about two o’clock in the morning, through the piteby darkness. At an unexpected moment his horse reared bolt upright and came near dislodging him. He held the ani mal in, although it still plunged ar.d kicked and snorted as thougli in terror of some—to him — unseen object. While trying to fathom the darkness he heard the fierce whizzing of missies like arrows past his head and something the soles of his boots. Kightly coujec- turing that his horse had run upon a porcupine, lie put whip and got out ol further danger. The horse ran for nearly a mile and then began groaning, and finally lay down in great pain. His own feet were paining him intensely. Attempting to pull off his boots he found them absolutely riveted to his feet. The quills had worked through and were one-halt' in the boot-sole and the rest in ills foot. He sat there and endured nearly three mortal hours of agony, until they made their way through the uppers of his boots. In the meautime the horse died and the man himself has not been able to walk for mouths. But it remained for anoth er unsophisticated dweller on the moun tain tops to enlighten tile public on the thieving proclivites of this same species of porcupine.

When g rawl * porcupines are plenty all the apples are carried out of the orchards, and the irate pomologist no doubt attributes their disappearance to the villyge boys, He gave several instances of their pe- datory habits, but one will suffice to show what they can do. Missing large quantities of apples, he lay for the in truder one night with a shot gun. Pre sently he espied a porcupine come into the orchard and make up to the choice tree, where the mellow and luscious ap ples lay thick upon, the ground. Over and over it rolled upon them until it attained an enermous size, and a big apple was on each particular quill. Having loaded itself down to the guards it moved off, and he followed It. A good opportanity offering he fired at It, and killed it. “I picked up the apples/’ he said, “aud measured them just for * curiosity, and found that porcupine was getting away with just two bushels and three pecks of ’em.” /‘How large was the porcupine? how much did it weigh!” I ventured to ask. “Well, it was some two feet long and six inches high—would weigh'five or six pounds before it was skinned/’ was the reply.
