Reecher,s Dog storx.

From the Christian Union. 14th.l
We know it is beneath the dignity APP
propriate to these editorial columns to
tell dog story in them-a dog story
with not even a moral attached But
after graphing with six-column article
in the vain attempt to get its pith into
half a column (the fruit Of which labor
is delayed by an accident until next
week., we are going to refresh our minds,
if not our readers by telling a dog
story pure and simple. We protest in
advance against any attempt by Mr..
Darwin, his friends or his foes, TO de-
duce from it that dogs can or cannot
reason, or TO prove anything whatever
Now for the dogs-as to the veracity Of
the tale we personally vOuch
A narrow log lay as q bridge over a ra-
vine. From the opposite ends Of the log,
at the same moment, there started TO
cross it a big Newfoundland and little
Italian greyhound. OF course they met
in the middle; Of course there was not
room for them to pass; neither could
they 90 back. The height was dan
gerous one for the greyhound, and
to the water at the bottom he was
extremely averse. The Newfoundland
could have taken the leap in safety, but
evidently did not want to. There was a
fxl The little dog sat down on his
launches, stuck his nose straight up in
the air, and howled. The Newfoundland
stood intent, his face solemn with in
ward workings. Presently he gave
nudge with his nose to the bowling grey
hound, as if to say: Be still, young
ster, and listen" Then there Was silence
and seeming confabulation for SECOND
or two. Immediately the big dog spread
his legs wide apart like a Colossus, be-
striding the log on its extreme outer
edge, and balancing himself carefully.
The little dog sprang through the open.
ing like fash When they reached the
opposite shores the greyhound broke
into frantic gambols Of delight, and the
Newfoundland, after his more sedate
fashion, expressed great complaceney
in his achievement, as he surely had a
right to do.

A few days ago, while Gen. David
Stewart and his wife were driving to
church in a buggy, near Louisville, Lin
coin county, Missouri, the horse became
manageable, and ran off at high speed.
Mrs. Stewart was first thrown from the
vehicle and instantly killed, her neck,
arm and leg being broken; and Gen.
Stewart was next dashed out, receiving
injuries which caused his death two hours
afterward. Gen. Stewart was one Of the
oldest and most estimable citizens of
Lincoln county, and Mrs. Stewart was
widely beloved for her Christian virtues

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Universal Safeguard 1T is useless
for State Legislatures to pass laws for the pre-
servation Of the public health. if the great
law of self-preseryation, which depends r
its enforcement upon the will of the individ-
nal. is suffered To remain dead letter.
There ia scarcely an adult member Of the
community, Of either sex, in the countrywide
has not seen the testimony In favor Of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. furnished over their
own signatures BY persons of Acknowledged
eminence in science. literature. art. eau
merce. and every department Of business aud
professional life. These witnesses have de-
elared in the most explicit terms that the pre-
paration is a safeguard against epideInies, a
sovereign Temsdy for dyspepsia, valuable
-antibilious medicine, promoter Of appetite,
a genial and harmless stimulaRt. & good ac-
climating medicine. strengihener Of the
nerves. a general invigorant. protection
against the deleterious effects Of malaria and
impure water, and that it imDarts degree Of
yigor and activity to the vital forces which is
not communicated by any other Of the tQnjcs
and stomaehics In use. Under these oiTeuE-
stances the self-preserVative Law Of nature
should teach every rational perfon who. either
BY reason Of inherent debility or In eohss-
quenee Of exposure to unwholesome inau-
eness, is in peril Of losing the greatest Of all
temporal Blessings, health. the Importance of
using the Bitters As defensive medicine.
Dyspepties who neglect to give il trial are
simply their own enemies. II is guaranteed
t. cure indigestion in all its forms, and the
bilious shd nervous will find nothing in the
whole range Of Ohieipal and proprietary medi-
cines which will afford them tho same relief.

In consequence of the Low prices that have

Tar fallen OF that an improvement in demand Is
percepuble this week, and rather better prlces
are demanded A few choice pairs have been

&c per 10. better than last week. The drover.,
however, do not think this improvement one that
