A NORWICH MAN who habitually drinks
too much liquor, and falls asleep on the

man lies down and dozes, the dog takes
him by the collar Of his coat and gives
a gentle pull. III the man gives snore
and a turn, but refuses to wake, his
friend gives a more emphatic reminder of
the necessity of moving Then if the
sleeper does not awake, the dog takes a
firm grip on some loose portion of his
masters habiliments, and pulls him until
he is fain to arise, shake himself, and
wend his way homeward, followed by the
watching eyes of his brute companion.

Gov. MERRILL, of Iowa, made visit
to the State Prison, at Davenport, q
short time since, and commenced an ad-
dress to the prisoners by saying he was
glad to see so many there" This rather
dashed the spirits OF the audience,
who failed to applaud, and looked gen.
orally uncomfortable. The Governor,
too, was not little fustered, and, after
an awkward pause, took back what he
had said al gracefully as possible. The
faculty OF saying the right thing in the
right place does not belong to every one.

wealth for Cincinnati journalism; and
whenever the papers find things growing
a little dry, they send over reporter and
interview the venerable Covington post
master. A short time ago an en-
tcrprising Xcnia reporter tried it on and
was able to give his readers lengthy and
racy report. The principal topic Of the
conversation reported was KRAMER, the
new Minister to Denmark, and the dnimus
Of the opposition to his confirmation. II
appears that KRAMER, when he married
Mr. Granddaughter, was, as his father
in.law now expresses it, "a Methodist
preacher, and had n little congregation
back here somewhere that didn't support
him" As to Schulz and SUMNER, the
