STORY or A Doo.—Sir Edwin Landseer has given
character and individuality to dogs such as was never dis-
played before; but the following story from the Lincoln
Times is equal to any of the great artist's conceptions:—" A
gentleman resident in Lincolnshire was travelling about 8,)
or (JO miles from home, and left a favourite little dog at an
hotel while he visited another town in the neighbourhood.
On his return, the landlady, in dismay, told him his dog had
been attacked by a large dog of her own, and had run away
from the house. He left, but returned again to the same
hotel after the lapse of a few weeks • when the landlady in-
formed him that his little dog had' returned in the interim,
accompanied by a large dog, who attacked her own dog so
fiercely that he had nearly killed him. From the description
given of the animal, the gentleman entertained no doubt but
that it was his own house .dog from Lincolnshire ; and on his
return home he learnt from the servants, that shortly after
his departure his little favourite dog returned one day bear-
ing marks of much ill-usage, and after apparently con-
sulting with the larger animal, the two dogs set off toge-
ther, and were absent several days, presenting evidences on
their return of having travelled a considerable diBtance.7

relief to, poor unprotected children, and that the Board
of Excise be petitioned to agree to the commutation
of her punishment. It is deplorable to think that the
defendants must have been engaged in this serious
breach of the law by experienced persons who have
kept out of the way to secure themselves, no doubt
calculating upon the lenity of the chief magistrate in
such a case. It is my duty to fine each of the defend-
ants 301., or to send them to prison fur three calendar
months.
