ADMADILLO AT HENSLEY STORE. D. M. Hensley nas on display at his place of business an animal known as the Armadillo, and which was captured by Charles Mailand while on a trip to Texas. It is called the Armadillo on account of the heavy bonycovering which it nas over its entire head and body, which it uses as a chield, and when attacked curls itself up in a round ball. It is seldom seen during the day over land and makes its home in the burrows which it digs in the soil. It will be mounted by Mr. Hensley for Mr. Mailand and he will keep it in remembrance of this western trip. The animal is small, its back looking like that of a turtle, and has been seen by few people in this part of the country. It was shipped here from Texas, but on account of the warm climate in which it lives froze to death before it reached this place.
