A DOG-STORY.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " 8PECTATOR."1 SIR,—I send you the following story of my fox-terrier dog. This little animal has formed numerous carious friendships during its lifetime, but the latest is perhaps the most curious of all. It is not permitted for dogs to remain in this College daring the night, and so I keep mine at a house some distance off. Every morning the dog comes of its own accord to my rooms, and is accompanied on its morning walk by a cochin- china hen and a kitten belonging to the man with whom the dog is left during the night. The hen and kitten always leave the dog at the College gates, as they are not permitted to enter.—I am, Sir, (te., Balltol College, Oxford, Nov. 101h. E. S. P. HdYNES•
