NARROW ESCAPE THROUGH THE SAGACITY Op

„A
i
Doo.—On Thursday evening last, as Mr. Charles N'" b"
lington was on his way home from L)dgate, he, thro

the sagacity of his dog, narrowly escaped being Preelte
tated into a deep and dangerous chalk pit, near Li)"-d.
lime kiln, which is within a few feet of the public 1'0":44
without any fence before it for protection. On 1011 Ti
Lydgate he found that the night was very dark' lib
fearing he might lose a valuable dog which walw„d•
him he tot.k the precaution of tying his pocket nis:',o
kerchief on its neck, for the purpose of keeping It nbi,t
him, and which, no doubt, was the means of saving a
lite. Having got some distance on the road, he, from
light appearance on his left, supposed he had arrived e lid
the turn of the road towards Ashley, and had tarfo,
that way at rathrr a quick walking pace, when the (1,;
which he was leading suddenly retusrd to accomrile
him, end forcibly attempted to pull him in the oPP°9lhe
d;rection on the road. On ascertaining the cause of ,
di g's riluctauce to proceed, he found himself on the verf„,
of a dangerous precipice, from which, had be gene °Tal
step further, he must have inevitably fallen.—Bury
