That frogs h ive a formidable enemy in
the common mouse ii evidenced by the
lollowing incident. Mr. W. August Car
ter, of South Norwoo 1, Fu-gland, state
that he observed, a short time since, sev
eral mice pursuing some frogs in a shed
which was overrun with these reptiles
The alacrity of the latter, however, rend
ere I the attacks of tlieuiice futile for n
considerable period. Again and again
the frogs escaped from the clutches ol
their foes, but only to he recaptured, se
verely shaken, and bitten. The energy
put forth by these rcpulcs was so greai
that they actually sw ay ed their captors to
an.l fro in their ef'b.ts to wrest them
3 -Ives from their gr.tsp. At length the
wounds inflicted iion them rendered th
frogs incapable of turther resistance, an-i
they were ea-iiy overpowered by the
mice, which devoured a certain part o;
