and Humeston, who own a saw mill on a stream
running through what is called Butts Hollow, in the
town OF Washington, fearful OF losing their dam,

INCIDENTS IN THE BURNING OF THE MISSOURI
We have heard OF two animal occurrences Oh board
this steamer that strike us as singular and at the
same time characteristic. There was on board a
pet bear, which, as the flames were raging, be- |
came more and more excited until, as they burst |
forth the decks, the iniurated animal leapt into
their midst, and persisted. There was on board a |
Newfoundland bitch, with her pup. While the
men remained at quarters she too remained, going
In and QUIT among them usual, and calmly as
ship, she went TO her kennel, took the pup in her
mouth, and running out on the bowsprt, sprang into
the water, and swan ashore without dropping her
precious burden
