A Rrayc Canine Defender.

A few DAYS ago dog belonging to John
Felt.r. OF Pine Hill, N. Y, was heard
bA. eiuY in the m-untains some distance
fra . the house. Mr. Felter's little son.
twelve wears old, knowing by the bark OF
the dog that some important game was
or foot. set ont for the mountains. His
mother felt little anxious after the boy
nd gone, and for s,me time listened for
the barking of the dog. After half an
hour the barking ceased and as hour af-
ter hour passed away, and the boy did
not make his appearance, the mother set
out to go to one of the neighbors to secure
their help in search for the boy. On the
road she met her husband returning from
the village, where he had that morning
been attending to some business. lie us
tened to his wife's story. and, trying TO
calm her fears, went back with her to the
house, and taking his gun started towards
the place indicated by his wife. Mr.. Eel
ter travelled about through the mountains
until late in the afternoon, seeing nothing,
hearing nothing. and was about to return
home when be almost stumbled over the
dead carcass of wild cat. 1t was very
large male.
Everything indicated terrible conflict.
The spectacle gave Mr.. Felter an appre-
hension that some terrible thing had hap.
pened to his boy. Examining the
leaves and underbrush he had no Difficult
ty In finding a trail of blood, and this he
followed nearly a 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 looking
at the boy, and occasionally licking his
face and hands. On Mr.. Felter's approach,
he gave loud bark and pranced 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 little fellow alive, but terribly wound
ed, as it appeared, by the claws of the
wildcat. The little fellows clothes were
almost torn to shreds, and his flesh was
terribly lacerated from head to foot. He
was suffering from loss of blood, but his
wounds had been handsomely dressed by
the faithful dog, which had for hours been
standing by him, licking them.
Taking his boy in his arms, the father
made his way to his home, followed by
the ever faithful dog. After reaching the
house, restoratives being administered,
the boy was able to tell his story. He
came upon the wildcat, and seeing that
his oatship held the dog at bay, having an
advantageous position, he attempted to
dislodge him, first with stones but these
the beast did not seem to mind. Then he
got pole and attempted 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 de-
spatched it. The boy attempted to 20
home but sank to the ground exhausted.
The little fellow is doing we'll. The good
nursing of the dog has done much to.
ward allaying the Inflammation !; the lick.
ing of his wounds by the faithful animal
has undoubtedly saved the boys life.

AN ALPINE ADVENTURE.--Two gen.
tlemen from Basic and three from Glarr
recently made an excursion into the val
ley of Lindt. for the purpose of ascending
the Todi,or Pig. RuElin, III 1886 feet one OF
the most conspicuous of the mountains in
eastern Switzerland. On the 25th ult, at
three o'clock in the morning, the party
left the Grunhorn hut, built by the Swiss
Alpine Club, where they had passed the
night, the Foehn blowing very violently,
and reached the glacier of Biferton after
very fatiguing walk of three hours, the
Foehn making the snow 80 soft that their
feet sank into it at each step. On reach
ing very deep and wide crevssse, which
stopped their further progress, two OF the
party went some way along it to aea il it
grew any narrower, but their weight
caused a large mass of sno1 on which
they were standing to giye way, and they
were both pitched hsadlong into the
opening,
'Their companions, who were sufficiently
near to see the accident, were Supplied
with horror, and were sometime before
they became sufficiently collected to form
any plan for delivering their unfortunate
friends, if they were still alive, of which
they entertained but slight hopes, owing
to the depth to which they had fallen.
On cautiously drawing near the edge of
the precipice, hewecer, and shouting
down, they at length heard feeble cry,
which assured them that both at least
were not killed, and being provided with
stout cords. they joined several together,
so as to make a rops so feet long, and
threw it down, but it was found to be
much too short. They then added another
piece, go feet long, and on lowering she
ripe once more, were delighted to iad
that it reached the bottom and, became
frightened, assuring tSezn that it had heen
caught hold of by their friends. After
more than an hours labor they sRcceeded
in drawing both gentlemen from their
dreadful position, who stated that they
owed their safety to the softened snow
which the wind had drifted into the
crevasse, enabling them to break the
violence of their fall.-lSaoiSs Times.

The evangelical deputation, made up in

IN July to obtain mitigation of the in.
ternal regulations of the country SO far as
they affect religious denominations other
