From the Nashville, Union
The best dog story we hare heard of for SEINE
time, and which is vouched to be true in every
particular comes to from Robertson COUNTY,
A few nights ago Mr.. Williams. who resides
about four miles west of Springfield, let neigh.
Dor Mr.. Petit, have the use of his dog, to assist
and protect him from chicken thieves About 70
o'clock on the same night, a burglar entered the
stable OF MI Williams, and stole thersfrom a
young bay mare, with saddle and Bride and
was riding along the road past Pettit's house.
when the dog commenced barking, and breaking
his chain, bounded over the fence and dashed
after the horseman at full speed The chase con-
tlnued for four miles, when the horse stumbled
AID fell. The dog rushed up and Immediately
attacked 1T is supposed the daring thief who fired
three shots at the dog but missed him az no
marks were found on him Whether the dog
closed in upon tho thief, or whether the thief
took to his heels across the country has not been
definitely ascsrtained, but the dog caught hold
OF the bride lines in his mouth and led the horse
back three miles, wh.re he was met by Mr.. Petit
aud his man, who were aroused by the furious
sounds and were following in the direction
whittier they went. Mr. Petit Immediately re.
cognized the horse and dog, and at once surmised
what happened. The whole four, the two men.
dog and horse returned to Mr.. Williams, whom
they found fast asleep, altogether ignorant of
what had taken place. The next day several
people III in the locality testified to hearing three
shots fired about the place where the dog brou.ht
the robber to bay, and one of the bullets was
found on the road, about four hundred Yards
IRON the spot where the scufile took place. The
dog is about four years old, and weighs about
forty.ive pounds Mr. Williams would not part
with him for any money.

This attack contained several charges ma.
licious'y false. We did not design to allude

ra'ire, with c6srae eseristic mcanness and with
an evident design 10 injurc u. personally,
has published rcvsiou Of the attack upon

contained in i. One Of these charges is
that It Is uadevstood in case Mr. Allison

the pest office in this city. Such though.
never entered our head, nor has there been
any understanding, in any manner, with ref
erence to any position or snythiug else what.

brought forward, We believe him 70 be the

Another charge contained in This letter Of

Times readers might not know otherwise.
