A Doc FULL OF CoIN.-There is q big
black dog owned here in Gold Hill,
which is Justly considered to be u beast
of remarkable sagacity. Last evening,
this talented canine WAS at the Express
saloon, on Main street, and 1t appears
they had some fun with him. his mas
ter privately borrowed n half dollar
from the barkeeper, wrapped it care
fully in a piece OF paper, took 1t n few
doors below and deposited 1t in q sly
place near the sidewalk, showing the
dog where it was. Then he came back
TO the saloon, and after awhile made n
bet that his dog would treat the crowd,
and 90 out and get four bits towards
paving for the drinks. The bet was
taken, and so were the drinks, II out
went the dog. He found the halfdollar
all right, but when he brought it into
the saloon he seemed TO think that rs
the other fellows had swallowed the
drinks he might rs well swallow the
equivalent, so he gulped down the hall
dollar. The Joke was on his master,
but he couldHt stand it. lie never
knew his dog to throw of on him that
way before. He tried him fifteen or
twenty times and with the same result ;
the COMPOUNDED dog swallowed the coin
every time. At last accounts some n
n dozen avaricious Horntowners hearing
about it, had enticed the dog away and
have him corralled somewhere on the
Divide a~nxiously awaiting further de-
velopments.
