A REMARKABLE DoG.-Dr. Norris has a
very remarkably smart dog, as is shown by
the following incident:
A few Sundays ago the Doctor was preach
ing in the absence Of Mr.. Cutler, the regu-
lar pastor, in the Disciples church Near
the close Of the sermon his dog got up,
stretched himself and walked around uneas-
lily; the Doctor taking no notice of this, the
dog deliberately looked around till he found
the Doctors hat, took it in his mouth. car
ried it up to him. and would not leave till he
was relieved of it. He then went down in
front Of the pulpit, and waited impatiently
a few minutes for the Doctor to take the
hint. Finding he would not, he looked
around and got his stick and carried it to
him !; which hint was quickly taken by the
Doctor for fear that he might do something
worse. Many other equally smart tricks
are told of him, but they would fill all of
our columns if we were to attempt to relate
them charlottesville Chronicle.

The BEssEMER RA1Ls.-The Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Rail-
road Company put in the track in Cleveland
yard, south of Cuyahoga river, in August,
1865, thirty tons of Bessemer steel. This
rail is now apparently perfect, having worn
out nearly three sets Of iron rail in the oppo-
site track in the same time. Two miles of
steel and steel-capped rail were laid in the
track between Cleveland and Berea, the
latter part of the year, on part of the track
where the speed is greatest and the tonnage
heaviest The chief engineer thinks the
uniform success Of this rail will warrant its
general use as matter of economy And
it is this steel rail, Of such great Importance
to the whole country in supplying safe and
cheaper transportation by our railroads, that
$40 per ton is to be paid on as duties, in
order to build up few monopolies in this
country for its manufacture at an immense
profit and unnecessary cost to all the people,
