Show T.ile or a Cat. A gentleman was passing near Houghton Hough-ton square just after a recent storm and discovered a cat ensconced on tha stringer of a wooden feuce in a sheltering shelter-ing angle. He called the attention of neighbortoit, and together, thinkingthat perhaps the cat was frozen to death, they proceeded to stir it up. The cat got up, and in attempting to jump off the fence, hung suspendod like an icicle by the end of its caudal appendage, which was frozen to the fence. The animal had crawled in for shelter from the storm, the heat of the body melting the snow, and then chilling enough to freeze the tail to the fence. As it hung suspended the gentlumuu began to look around for warm water, or some other means of thawing it out, but before they succeeded suc-ceeded the weight of the body caused it to break its hold, and the cat was released re-leased from its strange predicament.
