A Doc STORY A gentleman OF the

county, N. H., a few years ago, possessed a
dog that was remarkable for his sagacily.--
He one day told the dog 10 go and find q
handkerchief which his child had lost in q
distant field while picking berries. The dog
started off with his usual alacriiy, but in the
course of an hour or Two returned without
he handkerchief, looking as cres;-lalen a:
though he had been caught in a neighbor's
sheepfold. The master cuffed his ears
sharply, and told him 10 60 and ny again.
aud moi come back until he found IT, The
dog started off again with apparent reiuc
lance, while the master followed al a distance
behind, and uuperceived. The dog went TO-
wards The field where she child had picked
the berries, and sat down Cd his launches
held down his bead, and appeared 10 be in a
deep brown study.
He sat iu this altitude for perhaps hall
an hour, when be suddenly jumped up with
a peculiar yell OF exullation, and started for
one corner of the field. Here he stopped
for moment, and then commenced trottng
around the field, going about three feet
from The fence the first time, about six the
second and thus continuing to near The mid

jumped up into the air with loud yell Of
triumph, picked up The handkerchief, and
