How A DOG Reasons. The Utica
Herald relates the following story Of
the almost human intelligence of dog;
2 A farmer living in New Hamp-
shire had a dog which had grown old
in the services Of the family. Having
become very feeble and useless, and
having, moreover lost nearly all his
teeth, the farmer told the family one

that he thought he would take him
out and shoot him. Almost immedi-
ately the venerable brute disappeared.
