TnE following rather incredible story
of sectarian dog, is told by a Montreal
paper.
A gentleman owns dog that has some
remarkable instincts. On ck-days he
has all tho passions and propesusitics Of
other dogs, but on the Sabbath his pccu-
liarit;es aud sentiments come out. He
knows when this day comes. Hc is no.
the same dog as on other days. He in
dulgcs in no pastimes, encourages no
company, and seems to say, in actions
louder than words, six days We may play
and do all our sport" The family are
Preshyterians the dog is Methodist.
On Sabbath mornings he attends the
family TO the Presbyterian house of wor-
ship, and then holds on his solitary aud
unbroken way until he comes to his own
church, which is q little farther on. He
has particular placesup stairs where he
sits. No belle or madam of fashion, who
sweeps up the aisle of popular church,
and finds plebeian in her pew, can give
a moro decided expression of displeasure
than this dog, if he finds any one in his
seat. He seems to attend to the service,
and give dogmatical heed to the words
spoken. An example to many protesting
Christians, he may be seen on his way to
church in bad weather as in fair,-not a
half day hearcr either, while his denomi-
nationtional perfcrencesare as we'll known
as arc those of any one in tho city.

A MoLAssEs SuRPRIsE.-An accident,
which came very nearly proving seri-

ing at Goucher's grocery store in the
Diamond. A couple of men were en-
gagged in hosting a barrel of molusses
through the hsitchways to the upper sto-
ry Of the building. They had elevated
the barrel, by means of the hoisiing
ropes, 10 between the second and third
stories of the building, when one OF the

broke and down came the molasses with
lighting like rdpidity. The barrel went
right through the floor. and ulighted on
table in "A dining saloon underneath
The store, Which ii smashed TO splin-

Around this table were seated half 4
dozen young mon eating their supper,
and as may he imagined, the sudden APP
pearance of the molusses created quite
an excitement among them. In an in
slant they ran TO the steps and up TO the
pavement, expecting every moment that
the house was about ID fall. Presently,
when the fright had abated, they return,
ed to finish their repast, but asked as a
favor that the waiter should not furnish
so much molasses again. At last ac-
counts, the table on which the barrel
alighted had not been found, yet strange
to say, the barrel was not injured i'm the

How THE EMPEROR WENT TO BATTLE e,
-Europeon papers states that the bag.
gage OF the French Emperor, which pro-
ceeded him to the seat of war, looked
more like travelling hospital than like
the traIs of general. 1t contained.
among others, large medicine chest,
three kinds Of bathing-tubs, and sonae
other bathing apparatus, an invalid's
easy-chair, stretcher of peculiar con-
struction, and ~ great deal ofother med
ical and sick-roam apparatus. The
horses of tho Emperor which were sent
to the front were most carefully selelect-
cd from tho imperial stables by the EN-
peror's valet. He picked out the iamest
and gentlest brutes he could find, and
even went so far as to buy some, not so
mnch for their beauty and spirit-for
they show very little of either-as for
their meek and gentle tlemeanor, Be
fore they were sent to the front, they
were exposed to great deal ofartilIery
hrlng to accustom them TO the roar of
cannons, the only thing their rider will
probably hear OF the battle, and this took
AWAY from them the last vestige OF spir-
1t they still possessed. The valet was
also particular in examining the saddles
destined Tor the use OF his Majesty, and
all double wadded, and had extra pad
dings put on the back.
