Combination Car.
4 company Of railroad men and editors will
make an excursion at go p. II to-day, on the
Chicago and Fl. Wayne Road, returning in the
evening, Tic trip will be made on the new
combination car, which comprises locomo-
tive, tender, baggage and passenger cal, all in
one A good time is expected. All invited

It is ola pattern which relieves train de-
signed for light loads Of passengers over short
routes, from carrying "dead weight" and is
thus great economizer Of rolling stock and
fuel One Of this class Of cars has been in use

scur1ying round, bites the somnolent horses,
frisks in among the bunkcrs, and keeps up his
disturbance until he secs the whole force in

now 60 and do yours" and he goes to bed
again.
On Sunday night last this dog got up an
especial disturbance on the least apparent de-
mand Nobody heard d bell or 4 hoof astir
outside, but the dog insisted and kept up his
rncket, threatening to go fairly distracted and
do something rash, if they did not up and away
to that fire. They sworc at him, but he
wouldn't be still even under oath, turned him
ont Of the house As nuisance, and still he
howlcd, and plead in 4 doggish way to be be-
licycd. Finally, on the sole authority Of that
dog fact, madam, the horses were put to, and
tho whole force wheeled into the street, and
heard for the first time the North Market bell
ringing. A South wind WAS blowing at the
time, and the sound came family, too taintly
to call out the other machines OIL the South
and West Divisions, SO the steamer q. r. Ha1-

small fire on North Clark street, near Huron
and all through the vigilance Of that dog.
