ANOTHER DOG STORY.
[To in EDIT. or TIM ..Belsorrims.1 SIR, I told our Vicar this rooming the dog story in your last Saturday's issue. He at once related to me an experience of his own. He had a fox terrier when he was an undergraduate, very affectionate and intelligent. He took it with him to his first curacy, and there the dog became great friends with the landlady's cat. Presently the cat bad kittens, and, needless to say, a man was next day occupied in the painful duty of drowning four of the innocents. The terrier looked on, much interested apparently, but "saying nothing." In the course of the day he quietly retrieved every one of the drowned kittens and replaced them by the side of their mother. Another incident the Vicar related of the same dog. One day master and dog were shopping in Chesterfield, when the dog accidentally knocked over a pot and broke it. Immediately he bolted out of the shop and out of sight (lie wouldn't get his master into trouble if he could help it Half an hour later his master found him a mile out of the town, on the road home, waiting where the road forked, providing an alternative route.—I am, Sir, &C., PEVEEIL Tourist:mu Sandybrook Hall, Ashbourne.
