Catch White-and-black Rat.
The colored porter at H. T. Whitfield’s billiard room, in Murfreesboro, Tenn., captured a freak rat. The rodent’s head and front part of its body is pure black, while the other half is snow white, excepting a black line running along the center of its back to the tail. The rat is still in captivity, and the owner has been offered ten dollars for it. When caught, it was very vicious and made several attempts to bite its captor.
