A SAGAoIoUs DoG.-Naturalsts insist
that the dog is mere attached to man than
any other animal, and that next to the
horse he is the most useful. We have read
innumerable stories about faithful dog.
who watched over their dead masters upon
the field of battle. The faithfulness OF "Old
Dog Tray" is rather proverbial. Byron
-immortalized his dog, erected a tombstone
to his memory, and celebrated his virtues
in laudatory verse. Now, while some dogs
may be constant and true to their masters,
we know of one that is slightly inconstant,
as the following incident will show. Two
gentlemen who have an ambition to be
shootists borrowed the fine pointer owned
by Henry Broderick, Esq, of this city.
They made all due preparations for a
wholesale slaughter of quail. Each had a
double-barreled gun aud something less
than fifty pounds of shot. They promised
any quantity of quail to friends in Column
bus for Thanksgiving Day. Arrived in the
vicinity of Shadeville. the shootists and the
pointer settled down to business. Ben.
soon secuted covey of quail and
came to halt. Bang, bang! went
the artillery. As soon as the
smoke cleared away Ben looked around for
:'dead birds" but did not find any. He
seemed somewhat puzzled and very much
disappointed. However Ben went forward
again and rapidly discovered the wherea-
bouts of the covey. This time the sports
men both missed the game and Ben shook
his head. Again Ben was urged on the
scent. again be pointed out to the sports
men where the coveted game were. Again
the quail flew off unharmed, minus a few
feathers. Ben looked at the hunters in as
tonishment and disgust and dropping his

nor could he be persuaded to return. The
hunters of course were obliged to leave for
home also and overlook Ben waiting quiet

RECOVERY OF A LOST DAUGHTER.-Tht
Toledo Blade of Saturday says that Gin
cinnati gentleman recently traced runa
way daughter through Toledo to Saginaw
where he accidentally discovered her or
Tuesday. The daughter is Is years of age
and left her home nearly month SINCE
The particulars of her leaving home are
stated by her father, whose name is with
held. The girl was receiving the atten'
tion of young clerk to whom the parents
were violently opposed, and whom the ia
ther finally forbade visiting her. The coup.
lie continued to meet, but clandestinely
until it came to the ears of the father. He
very much enraged at his daughters disc
bedience, locked her up in her room severa
days, and allowed no one to visit her ex
cept her mother and himself. On being re
leased from her confinement, the girl ap
peared sullen and morose, and had no com
munication whatever with the family.
short time afterward she disappeared, ant
no traces could be obtained of her for sew
eral days. The parents were almost dis
tracted, and employed every means in thei
power to effect her recovery. A few day
after her disappearance, the father received
a note from friend in Columbus, hat sh
was in that city and had visited at hi
house; that she appeared very stra NICELY
and he accordingly wrote to him for al
explanation. The father took tn e first train
but arrived in Columbus too late, as she
probably from fear of detection, had takel
the morning train, as he afterward learned
for Toledo. From Toledo she went to De
troit, from Detroit to Saginaw. She ha
only been in the latter city three days be
fore her father found her. She appeared
to manifest no disposition to return home
which she said had been made unpleasan
for her, nor to realize the danger OF he
situation. She followed him meekly, ant
with an distracted air. Her father think
she is partially insane. The father AM
daughter have returned to their home.
