ANEcpoTE OF DoG.-A few years ago,
in the shire of Edlnburg, Newfoundland
dog might have been seen every day visiting
every pond or brook in the neighborhood OF
his masters residence. 1t had been insiru-
mental more than once in saving persons
from q grievous death In tue water. He was
respected for his magnanImity, and caressed
for his amiable qualities, till, strange as it
may be considered, this tlattery completely
turned his head. Saving of life from drown
ing became passion. He never took to i
as humanity takes to dram drinking. Not
having sufficient scope for the exercise OF his
diseased benevolence in the district, he took
to very questionable method of supplying
the deficiency. Whenever he found child
on the brink of water, he watched patiently
for the opportunity, and placing his iorepaws
suddenly on its person, plunged It In before
it was aware. Now all this was done for the
purpose of fetching them out again. He
appeared TO find intense pleasure in this
nonsensical sort of work. At last the out
cry became so great by parents alarmed fol
their children, although no life was ever los
by the indulgence of such singular taste
that the poor dog was reluctantly destroyed

featured from his skin.-GldscoD Chronicle.

OF THE DELAWARE ASSOCIATION FOR THE
MORAL, IMPROVEMENT AND EDUCATION OF
THE coLoRED PEOPLE.
The title of 1.-THE Delaware Association
for the Moral Improvement and Education
of tue Colored Peopie'' Of the State, suf'
fciently indicates its object. It has origina-
ted in clear and profound convictions OF ian
peratiye duty, and confidently relies upon
| the sympathy and support Of all who desire
10 promote the elevation, happiness and
virtue of their fellow men, and the frye
prosperity of the State, 1t takes no part In
other questions that occupy public attention,
but stands upon its own merits as an enter
prise of practical benevolence. We need
not inform you that this large class Of oui
population arc wholly excluded from thu
benefits OF our system Of public education
although not exempt from laeati1p, In som'
shape, for the public schools While legiaia
, ton thus closes against them the avenues o
knowledge and improvement, it has visitel
in their case the crimes and offences whic
naturally flow from Ignorance and degrade
r lion with excessive and cruel penalties. PEI

& tended with grave accountability, for in III
Il Providence Of righteous God, every wron
A brings sooner or later its retribqtion.
The attention recently awakened in behs
3 of this people, has led to extensive and enc
y getic measures. In our SoutneIn otap
. many thousands are now receiving clemen
n ary instruction, and these efforts have ii
only been highly successful in promoting II
immediate object, but have contributed greO
re " to change the public sentiment. B
10 while this work has been going on wi
marked success and growing favor at Il
