Pleasant Bay In Cape Breton Reports Great Loss From Rodents.
Halifax, Oct. 29.-Pleasant Bay, in the northern part of Cape Breton, is the scene of a great plague of mice. They have invaded the settlement and have destroyed the grain and field crops. As a result of their ravages, not more than seven bushels of grain have been saved in the entire district.
Their inroads on the potato fields is such that diggers find little more than skins of large potatoes left in the ground. No remedy is in sight and all that has been done has had no effect in abating the plague.
