SAVED l Ills DoG.-At Pine Hill, y.
y, one Friday lately. dog belonging TO
one John Feter, woodchopper heard
barking Il the mountains some distan e
from he house Mr. Felter's little son l ,
years old. knowing by the bark Of the dog
that some important game was on foot
set Ont for the mountains His mother
felt anxious after the boy had gone. and
for some time listened TO the barking o
the dog. Alter half an hour the barking
ceased, and as hour after hour passed
away. and the boy did not make ms APP
pearance the mother set out for one of the
neighbors to secure their help IN search for
the boy. On the road she met her nus
band returning from the village, where he
mad that morning been attending 10 some
business He listened to his wIte's story,
went back with her to the house, aud tax
ing ms gun started toward the place ;ndl-
Gated by his wife.
Mr.. Feter travelled about il the noun
tains till late IN the afternoon. seeing moth
NJ, hearing nothing, and was about to re-
turn, when be almost stumbled over the
carcass Of wildcat. II was a large male.
/ Everything indicated q terrific couh ct
( The spectacle gave Mr. Felter an appre-
hension that some terrible thing had hap
pened to his boy. Examining the leaves
aud uuderbrush he had no d fficulty IN
/ finding trail OF blood, aud this be follow
"a iol nearly hundred yards Then he
came upon the dog standing over the body
of his son who was PROSTATE on the
ground. The dog was earnestly gazing at
the boy. and occasionally hckng his face
and hands. On Mr.. letters approach be
gave toud bark aud prauced about with
Joy. The father knelt by the side OF his
son, and placed his hand over the heart.
[ With Joy unspeakable he found the boy
alive, but terribly wounded, as it appear
ed, by the claws Of u wildcat. The little
fellow clothes were almost torn to shreds,
and his flesh was terribly Iacerdted from
head to foot He was suffering from the
loss Of b God, but his wounds had been
handsomely dressed by the faithful dog,
which had for hours been standing by,
licking them. Taking his boy IN his arms
the father made his way to his home, fol-
lowed by his ever faithful dog. After
reaching the house, restoratives being ad-
ministered, the boy was able to tell his
story.
lie came upon the wildcat and seeing
that MS catship held the dog at bay, hav-
ing au advantageous position, he tried to
disiodge him, first with stones, but these
the beast did not seem to mind. Then he
got a pole. ana tried to poke him out At
this the wildcat became enraged. and
springing upon the boy, scratched and tore
his flesh as above related. At this the
dog dashed at the cat and soon despatched
it. The boy tried to 90 home, but sank to
the ground exhausted.
The little fellow is doing well. The
good nursing of the dog has done much
toward allaying the inflammation; the lick
ing of his wounds by the faithful animal
has undoubtedly saved the boys life.
