A CANINE POSTWAR. Robert Nash, church
warden of OtfDrd, has a fine black retriever, who
regularly goes to the posoee IN the village, about
twenty minutes past sevenin the morning, and con
veys the letters, newspapers, etc., for his master,
with unerring precision. The sagacious animal
walks straight to the Office, and the postmaster OF
MISTRESS places the letters, ETC., on the counter,
when he siezes them in his mouth, and goes to his
masters house, and viii not deliver them to anyone
besides Mr.. Nash; If he cannot find him at once he
searches the house and premises till he succeeds in
doing so. This interesting animal invariably goes
from his masters house at walking pace, and re-
turns with has letters ETC., at bounding rot; thus
showing a good example to human letter carriers,
which they will do well to follow.Dover Chronicle.
