How a Dog Saved a Man's Life.

A pleasant little story, Of which a hero is

night last, about 10 o'clock, as his owner
went to his room in the second story on tho
front side of the building CHE lights below

beneath the window and set up a most earus
est constant barking, and it seemed 10 him
that there was an unusual tone in the ami.

truders on the premises, he opened the win

The deg, instead of starting off under the or

the wall Of the house beneath the window, syz

down. The gentleman went down, and as
soon as hercaohed the outer door was met by
the dog. who, still barking, ran to the rear
Of the dwelling. His master following, found
his hired man lying on the ground, helpless
and unconscious. lie had, as he afterwards
stated, in epping out from the kitchen, fallen
upon the ice, his head striking stone step

DEAR SIR: In accordance with the In
structions received from the association,
your committee of relief, accompanied
by s. j. ii. Thompson, Of Milwaukee,
with q quantity OF supplies. reached
Green Bay late on the evening NJ the
1lth inst. We found that the relief COM
mittee at this point had discontinued
their labors for the day, and that we
could not ascertain that night definitely
the condition of the country over which
the fire had swept, but the impression
given us was that all the immediate ne
icessities OF the destitute people hid been
supplied. We were much disappointed
In not finding something fer our hands
to do Immediately; and, not being quite
satisfied with the reports giyensus, II was
decided that DIR. Nichols, who was fanlii-
Lar with the location OF Peshtigo, should
Immediately proceed there and report
upon the necessities Of the people. The
next morning Mr.. Childs ascertained
from Captain Hart Of the steamer North
west, that the sufferers Of the district
Wing between Peshtigo and Oconto were
reaching the latter place In .deplorable
Condition. and that there was an urgent
demand for immediate supplies of food
and clothing at that point. Captain Hart
kindly gave permission for tbs commit
tee to ship large quantity OF our sup.
plies at once BY his steamer, and DR..
Thompson and Mr.. Childs proceeded al
once to Oconto upon their own RESPONSE
bility,n A portion OF the supplies were
ttfs al Pensaukie,, to be sent across the
bay to Little Sturgeon bay, from whence
| cry for aid had Just come.

There are more than one thousand two

hundred thousand pounds Of paper, and
the demand Is still greater than the sup-
ply. Scarcely any foreign paper Is now
