A FAST DoG.-Henry A. Ewers of
this town, left on Friday for AstaIan.
Wis, where he has purchased a farm
He owned small dog, which he gave to
Henry Briggs before lie left. The dog
followed Mr.. Ewers to the depot in this
town, and upon the cars leaving, followed
on after, overtaking them at South Deer
field before they left that station. The
distance ran by the dog was eight miles,
and the time occupied twenty two min.
utes, or over twenty miles an hour. Mr..
Ewers concluded that such faithful friend
was not to be parted with lightly, and
took the dog into the cars with him for

A HUNGRY CARPET BAG.

The Buffalo Express relates an anus.
ing incident which occurred at Erie, a few
days since. A gentleman left Cleveland
for New York, at au early hour in the
morning without his breakfast, and being
very hungry, upon the arrival of the
train at Erie, entered the dining-room,
and placing his et,bag upon a chair,
sat down beside il and commenced Wig.
orous attack upon the viands placed be.
fore him.
By.and'by the proprietor of the estab-
ishment came around to collect fares,
and upon reaching our friend, ejacula-
ted:
"Dollar, sir :"
dollar u responded the eating man "a
dollar 4! thought you only charged fifty
cents meal, for oLe, eh 2"
That's very true," SAID Meanness, but
count your carpet-bag one, since it oc.
cupies seat"
The table was far from bong crowded.
Our friend expostulated, but the landlord
insisted and tho dollar was reluctantly
brought forth. The landlord passed on.
Our friend deliberately rose, and opening
bis carpet bag, full in its wide mouth, dis
coursec unto ii saying:
"Carpet-bag, it seems you're an indi-
vidual, human individual since you
at least I've paid for yoa, and now you
must eat" upon which he seized every
thing eatable within his reach, nuts, raj.
sins, apples and cakes, and amid tho
roars Of the bystanders, the delight Of his
brother passengers, and discontinue OF
the landlard, phlegmaticaly went and
took his seat iu the cars.
He said lie had provisions enough to
last him to New York, after beautiful
supply had been served out in the cars
There was at least, eight dollars worth in
the bag. upon which the landlord realized
nothing in the way Of profit.

In this he was disappointed. One after

Summoning resolution, however, he walk
ed up to an elderly gentleman and grave.
ly said:
"WiIl you go home with me to dinner
to-day, brother I"
"Where do you live9'
"About twenty miles from this, sir"
NO." said the man coloring, "but you
must 60 with me-
Thank you; will cl,eerfuliy."

Richard Busted esq, Counsel to the Corpora.
ton, receives regular salary Of SIC, 900 year; he
further receives $4,000 FOR clerk. hire Beside
this, be is entitled to receive his proper fees and
taxable costs in all proceedings conducted, prose-
cuted or defended by him, from all parties thereto
except the Corporaticp. From these salaries, fees
ard other advantages Of position, It IS estimated
that the place can be made, without stretching the
pOssessors conscience unreasonably to pay $40 600
or $4,000 a year. This ought to satisfy Mr.
Busted, as it would any moderate man; but il does
not. Having achieved all that was possible for him
SELF he casts about for few crumbs to throw to
bis friends. The reorganization of the Depart
ments under the new Charter presented the oppOr-
tunity and he has well improved it. Under the
old ordinance (see section 81 Revised Ordinances,
1867, the Counsel TO the Corporation was author.
lied to employ such additional counsel where the
City is party as shall be approved by the Mayor
and Controller. In remodeng the ordinance, the
Committee struck out the line requiring the ap.
proyal of the Controller, and &c empowers Busted
to saddle upon the city just as many assistant coun
selors as he plesses. II was Mr. Busteeds duty to
draw this ordnance: aud, from what We have heard
Of his boasts o. ha5ing got Fid Of Old Flagg,' we

We have extraordinary weather even for ibis ex-
traorlinary season. The iOtease heat Of the 18th
and ] ith inst. was succeeded by remarkably cool
and cloudy week, With occasions showers of rain.
One Of these occurred about midnight Of between
Saturday and yesterday, which opened cool and
bright, with every prospect Of the dry spell so
sreasy needed. Eat in the afternoon there were
two dasies Of rain cut of sky nearly clear, fol-
lowed tcfore O'Clock hy a brief but violent storm
of rs:a, wind and hail. Many Of the hailstones
which fell in this City we're as large as ordinary
chestnuts, and We fear the growing Corn, Beans,
&c, have suffered considerably. They sky cleared
suddenly after this shower, and it is now P. IN.
starlight, but with atmosphere threatening more
rain. The cold Of Friday night impels us to ex
pecs accounts Of frost On the ceutra and northern
highlands Of our State. We suspect there has mol
before been 50 much rain throughout the sumner
at this point for lifetime, nor so low an average
temperature since 1916.
New-York daily tribune., 1857-08-24

The Utica Herald has been looking up the Con
eressional record of the clause in the last Military
Appropriation bill under which the Country has
been done out Of nearly million dollars in the sale
Of the Fort Smelling Reservation. The result is
most instructive. The clause was first reported to
the Senate on TIE ID of March ast-the day before
Congress adjOurned-by Mr.. Weller, of California
from the Military Committee, (all hostile to the
RepubEcans.) 1t was rushed through each House
without discussion, consideration, or clear UNDER
standing of its character. Here is specimen of
the process:
The amendment was passed in the Senate, upon a
false statement OF its provisions. Ii simply extends
the act Of March g. 1872 for the sale OF military sites,
i'll the discretion Of the Secretary OF War. Yet when
the clause was presented:
"Mr. BRIGHT said-1 should like 10 inquire II there Is ,ay
provision for public sale. . ~ .
Mr. WFLLERZTboe sold under the sc OF 1913 were soi
auction but il la. decided that the act retrospect
i've and did apply 10 any military ste. esbsned ai the
ro have become wholly useless to the Government and this
amer dment Is - sell them.
Mr.. BKIGHr-At public or private sale
MIR. wELLER-At PrsLIc SALE.
Upon this statement, the Senate agreed 10 the
emen6ment The law Of 1919 contains no provision
fer public sale; yet the precedent has been for such
sale a'most if net quite uniformly. Mr. Welers
statement was that the amendment provided TO sell az
public sale; and this was false. Upon his statement
|eyerly drawn cu, by Senator Bright the clause wss
