NARROW ESCAPE THROUGH THE SAGACITY -7 np,,l
I
Doc.—On Thursday evening last, as Mr. Charles DIII,
lington was on his way home from Lydgate, he, througi:
the sagacity of hie dog, narrowly escaped being prec
toted into a deep and dangerous chalk pit, near Lyug-d,
lime kiln, which is within a few feet of the public rtg
without any fence before it for protection. On leilva-if
Lydgate he found that the night was very dark, 6.110
fearing he might lose a valuable dog which was `nit'.
him, he took the precaution of tying his pocket 101-n0
kerchief on its neck, for the purpose of keeping tt nehit
him, and which, no doubt, was the means of saving •-•
life. Having got some distance on the road, he, "Tit
light appearance on his left, supposed he had arrive%j
the turn of the road towards Ashley, and had tarAjd
that way at rather a quick walking pace, when 113'i -i
which he was leading suddenly refused to acceal;ite
him, and forcibly attempted to pull him in the oPP,°",be
direction on the road. Oa ascertaining the cause 0, "ds
reluctance to proceed, he found himself on the 01'0
of a dangerous precipice, from which, had he goo° lid
step further, he must have inevitably fallen.—/3urY -
Suffolk Herald.
On Sunday night week a baited hook was l
1111 d of
the pool at Trentham, Staffordshire, for the punts-. rah
catching pike, and one having taken the bait, a °I; gio
which measured more than five feet across thew'f
went to attack the fish, ard swallowed the hook: le
which it was held until it was discovered on the f°l`°

ing morning.
