Bill Johnson – Shoots Cat

Bill Johnson, a few nights ago was so vexed by the music of a serenading cat, that he got out of the bed and carefully loaded an old blunderbuss and fired at the animal; a tremendous explosion followed. On recovering his wits, Bill ascertained that the old gun was loaded when his grand father brought it home from the Indian war, and had never been fired since. Both charges exploded at once, the fur flew over an acre of ground, but the cat escaped unhurt.
