the fine large Newfoundland dog, "Ponto,"
belonging to John II. Kinney Esq. of the
Rock Island Bank Ponto crossed over the
river with friend fewdays beforn the river
closed, and he has not been seen since. 1t is
quite likely that he was endclyorins to got
home, and perhaps il lost. 1t is barely posi-.
BILE that he may have escaped to the shore
some miles below us, and made his way to
some house He was splendid dog, nearly
all white, and was about three years old
lie is as well known here as anybody IN town.
Mr.. Kinney is very anxious to know what
