A WISE DOG.

writer in the Portland Press tells some
remarkable stories Of dog that belonged
to a Mr.. Skillings, of Bangs Island, in
! Casco Bay. He says:
''When desirouS of a change of life, he
would swim to Portland, a distance Of
over two miles, and after passing a week
visiting. return. He would sometimes be
found at commercial wharf by Mr.. Skill
ings, after several days absence, sitting in
his boat, in which he had come to town,
and awaiting Mr.. Skillings' coming on
board to take him home. He had accom-
panied Mr.. Skillings, at various times, to
WaSs' Ledge, near Richmond Island,
seven miles from Bangs Island, on cunning
excursions after sea-fowl and he was q
most excellent retriever.
"On one occasion, as the dog was get
ting old, Mr.. Skillings left his house with
out him, and, as necessary for sea-fowl
cunning, before daylight. The dog, find
ing his master gone swan to Cape Eliza
beth to some part of the shore, which re-
quired swimming nearly a mile, and went
to Cape Elizabeth Lights, q distance of six
miles more, where he remained until Mr..
Skillings passed in his boat, on his return,
when the dog swan to the boat, was
taken aboard, and returned home with his
master. On another occasion Mr. Skillings
shot two sea-iowl while he was standing
on the top of Bald-head eighty feet above
the sea. The dog made directly for the
water, by running down until he ap-
preached the precipice thirty or forty feet
above the water, when he leaped in,
seized the two fowl and swan with them
around to the cove. A common excursion
for him in his latter days was to swim to
House Island, merely to play with the
sheep, which, though play to him, was a
great worry to them, for they in their
fright would make for the water, and too
many Of them being drowned. the sheep
owners were compelled to shoot him."
The writer concludes thus:
.'People who are curious in such matters
may discriminate as they please between
instinct and reason, and how much less
than reason was shown in some of the
above cases 1t is well suggested, how
ever, that high dog instinct appears more
elevated, at least, than a low order of
human reason"
