CANINE SAGACITY.—A shorttime since a favour-
ite dog belonging to a person residing at the Lye, near
this town (Stourbridge), had its ear severely hurt, and
was taken for two or three days to a chemist's shop, to
have it dressed. On the fourth morning, however, the
sagacious animal went to the shop by itself, and resting
its head on the counter, patiently awaited the usual
dressing of the ear. It continued to do this every morn-
ing till the ear was well.—Loral Paper.
