following instance of the remarkable sa-
gacity of a dog is vouched for by the
owner Of the animal. A gentleman re.
siding in Lynn, has, for long time, Wis
tied Boston daily on business, at times
passing over the Turnpike, and frequent
ly over the Eastern Railroad, always ac-
companied by his deg. On Wednesday
last he came to Boston but during the day
the dog become separated from his mas
ter, who returned home without him. a
few hours after the gentleman reached
home the dog also returned. A gentle
man who went to Lynn in the afternoon
train, states that he saw the dog -euter
the cars at Boston, and snugly ensconce
himself under seat as if to avoid the
vgilant eye of the conductor. On the
cars stopping at West Lynn, the dog
jumped out and hurried home with ell
possible speed. ~
