A Canary and a Mouse.

A very fine canary bird is owned by a gentleman in Nevada county, Cal. Unusual quantities of food disappeared from his cage. One day the gentleman chanced to look in the cage, and there, snugly stowed away in one of the seedboxes, was a moose, fat as butter. Upon attempting to remove the mouse the bird made a chivalrous fight for the little animal. A singular fact that while the there the bird kept up a constant singing all day, but since tile mouse -has been removed the bird has refused to warble.
