A Kitten Translated.—On the 5th inst., as a gentleman of this city was looking out a window, he saw a black kitten fall past him apparently from the top of the house, and expected to see it dashed dead upon the sidewalk; but contrary to his expectations, when it reached the ground it began to walk.— Some children, supposing it to be injured, took it in and gave it some milk, which it lapped in the usual style. The next morning the lady of the house went into the cellar to give it some more milk, when, strange to relate, it darted past her a distance of twenty feet, without touching the ground, and went out of the house, ascended upwards into the air more rapidly than it had fallen down the day before, and was soon lost to view among the clouds. Improbable as these statements appear, they were made to us by a medical gentleman of sanity and love of truth we do not entertain a doubt. We recommend this singular phenomenon to the attention of the editors of the Spiritual Telegraph.—Boston Atlas.
