4 DOG STORY.

The New York correspondent Of the Ports
mouth Journal narrates the following.
1t has always been belief Of mine that
animals Of the dumb creation think, all ara
guments to the CONTRARY Notwithstanding.
and have recently heard dog story FROM
some Portsmouth friends resident in Brook
lyn that has increased my faith in the matter.
Some neighbors of theirs have a very fine
specimen Of Newfoundland dog, who, it
half heard Of him be true, can do almost
any thing but talk.
Not long since his mistress said to him,
Y" Punto, you may 60 out in the front yard
and stay half an hour, but don't 90 outside
Of the gate After he had been gone short
time his well known knock was heard At the
door, and. on its being opened, Ponto was
discovered accompanied by a half-stared
abiect looking object Of the dog species, with
one Of his legs disabled, which he induced to
follow him into the front basement, and lie
down on large soft mat near the door. lie
then went into the kitchen and intimated TO
Bridget that he wanted his usual forenoon's
lunch, which having procured, he took il to
his new friend, laid il down before him; and
looked on with evident satisfaction while he
1
ate it.
As Ponto's mistress did not wish boarier
Of that description, she told him that he must
introduce his new friend into the street
again, which he pretended at FIRST not "a
understand. but finally, in very apologize
way however, did as he was ordered, assist.
ing his unfortunate campanion up two OF
three steps into the street, and looking after
him, as he limped on his way, with sad and
troubled cOuBtenance. So much for Ponto':
character for beneyolence Of his qualitle:
as a night watch learn that one night, dur
ing the past summer, he discovered that III,
front door had been inadvertently left open
He knew that was not correct, although the
outside blind door was fastened By deat
latch; so he went Ia his masters bedroom

until he followed him down stairs and close,
