AFaithful Dog.

The Newburg New York; Telegraph
gives the following incident of the faith
tulness of a dog: On Tuesday afternoon
Thomas McMeken, juvenile Of siS
years, was in company with two OF
three other small boys, engaged in fish
ing at the dock, foot of Washington
street, and was drowned. Immediately
the little boys ran of, terribly frighten.
ed, and have not been seen since. How
the boy was discovered: A dog was no
ticed on Tuesday night and through all
of ednesday near the sectional dock,
bowling piteously, and when any per.
son approached, he would run toward
them, bark and run back and sniff the
water, making the most dismal moan
ings as ifhe was in the deepest distress.
Last night the police endeavored to
drive him away, but he would immedi-
ately return and kept up his piteous
wailings until this morning, when the
body was discovered floating near the
dock. No sooner had the men fished
out the body than the poor suffering an.
imal sprung up, licked the hand OF the
corpse, and fell back completely ex-
hausted, as il dead. There the devoted
dog remained where he fell, as sound
asleep as if he would never rise to bark
again.

Diamonds,

1t is said that diamonds are now found
in South Africa in such quantities as tc
make them almost as cheap as less val
liable jewels. Should the success Of the
diamond hunters continue for any great
length Of time the result will be to re-
duce very greatly the value Of the pre-
cious stones, and then how Fisk and
the other notables will abandon them
and turn up their noses at what they
have so long worshipped as their idols
They will become common enough &c
take the place Of their endless imita
tions now in vulgar use, and to wear
them will no longer be a badge o'
wealth or a mark OF social distinction
1t is not easy TO predict what will be
selected to take their place, but it j:
certain that il they multiply at the
rates now developed in South Africa
their day will soon be past The Ko,
hinoor will become n mere historical
that once possessed an enormous value,
and had a worldwide renown.

Paw of Women,

Tie New York Star cannot unden
stand why woman who work Tor a liv
ing should not be paid as much for ser
vice done as men. The telegraph com
panies (it says) put woman at one
end of the wire, and have three men to
relieve each other at the other end. To
the men they pay from $50 to $l20 per
month: to the woman $40 to ~. Hotel
proprieters pay a housekeeper from $50
to 40 per month, and to a steward from
800 to $50, and so it runs through all
kinds OF employment, sex being all.im-
portant, and skill having no voice in
the test of compensation. This is a
grievance (says the editor) against
which woman might raise their shrill.
est voice and set their sharpest face.
We believe in paying laborer for the
work done Che says, and not for the
accident Of trousers or skirts.

a Visit 10 COrea.

An English officer has published in
the Nagaski, Japan, Gazette an inter,
esting account OF a visit to the coast OF
Corea, from which the following facts
are CLEANED: The Coreans whom he
saw were noted for their stature and
great strength, and seemed to get their
living from the sea and agriculture; the
country which they saw was hilIy and
covered with grass; swine seemed to be
quite common, and horned cattle were
used as beasts of burden; the men all
had fine heads Of hair, which was short
and gathered into small knot at the
top; they wore broad.brimmed hats
and their dresses consisted of tunic
and trowsers, and they were neat in
their persons, and they did not carry
firearms.

Board Of Foreign Missions

SALEM, October 5.-The American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions continued its session to-day
From the reports printed it appears tha
much progress has been made in the
mission work during the last year. In
the Dakota Mission the churches now
number eight, with seven hundred
members. In European Turkey two
thousand churches more have been
added, and other fields have been cult
waited to as great advantage.
The Woman's Board of Missions held
its meeting this morning in the Taber
nacle Church. The Recording Secre-
tary of the Woman's Board OF Missions
for the Interior read the report OF the
Society.
She reported $50 ladies in foreign
fields from the West and that l5OC
copies Of Life and Light" were circu
lated in the field. The contributions
for the past year were $4,000. The
number OF auxiliaries for 1870 were 20
and this year 60. Mrs. Hough, of Jack
son, Michigan, spoke in behalf OF the
Western Society. She said they had
each pledged themselves to lay by al
least 81 every year for The benefit o'
the cause and suggested a similar plan
for this society. She stated that there
were 3l2l organized societies in the
United States having a female member
ship of 2lO,927. If each woman should
give only the sum mentioned the
amount would be over $2OO,0OO.
Mrs. Hart, President OF the Phlladel
phia society, reported ten auxiliaries,
and said that it was but recently that
her society had began to thrive, but
now everything was in a prosperou:
condition. At the close of Mrs. Hart:
remarks, she offered for sale crosses
made from the hair of Mary Lyon and
Fidelia Tickle. The sum Of $1,000 wa:
at once offered for cross made of the
hair Of the former.
Mrs. Gould next gave report OF the
Women's Board of Missions. The
receipts since January lst, 1871, have
been $4,000. The increase, of anxil
iaries was upwards of 80 per cent
There are now l6l societies in active
operatiOn,

CHICAGO.
The New Pavement.

CHICAGO, October 5.-The process o
paving Clark street has been com
menced. This new pavement, entering
into competition with the Nicholson, /:
known as the Albert Beatty pavement
and its popularity consists in that the
material used is cylindrical blocks o.
cedar, about eight inches in height
some of which have grooves bored in
their peripheries midway between the
ends and others beads exactly CORE
spending, so that when placed in posi-
ton on a road-bed they interlock and
naturally support each other from
displacement. No floor foundation is
used as in the Nicholson pavement, but
the blocks are placed simply on the
ordinary road-bed after being graded
and leveled off with fine sand. This
pavement has teen in use for two years
on Columbia avenue in Boston and in
some other Eastern cities.
The Foreigners.
The Commissioners appointed by the
capitilists of Continental Europe to ex-
anime and report on the Southern
Pacific railroad, reached this city en-
route for Europe; on Wednesday even
ing starting from Duluth, they traversed
the line of the road from that point to
the Red river of the north aud returned
to St. Paul by the st. Paul and Pa
cifc, going west via the Union and
Central Pacific, from this point to San
Francisco. They then took steamer
for Columbiv river and Puget Sound.
By a special steamer they visited
every point of interest on the Sound and
examined the country adjacent thereto,
extending their trip into the interior as
far as Walla Walla, examining that
fertile valley on the route of the road
The examination has been very
thorough one and their report will be
looked for with great interest.
Henry Yeats, a merchant at Berlin,
Illinois, committed suicide on Tuesday
afternoon, by taking strychnine. After
taking the poison he sat down and
conversed with his family for some
time, arose FROM his seat, told his wife
what he had done, and in few min
utes expired.
The amount of duties paid at the
Chicago Custom House during the

BROOKLYN.
Trial of Dan G. GaIvan.

BROOKLYN, October DAN C. Gal
van, arrested for the murder of Michael
Campbell on the evening OF the 18th Of
July last, was placed on trial this morn
ing. The cause which led to the kill,
ing was in regard to the Orangemen
aud the proclamation Of Governor Hof-
man about the parade of the Orange
men in New York. While the jury was
being empanneled the counsel for the
prisoner said to one OF them, "What
church do you attend ?" The district
attorney objected to the question and
the Judge ruled it out. The trial will
probably continue for two days.

The Great Fire in the Woods


ST. PAUL, October 5.-The latest &C
counts from the great fire raging in the
prairie and in the big woods in this
State show that it is but forty'five miles
west of here, being last night in the
vicinity of Dorain, and is slowly sweep
ing south and east. The big woods fire
burns more slowly than that on the
prairie. owing to some dampness which
had remained there through the long
drouth. The air around here is full OF
smoke and cinders. Exaggerated ac-
counts are rife OF the loss of life and
property. Doubtless the loss of property
is great, but so far but one life is posi-
lively known to have been lost, that of
a Swede named Conneaut, of Dazrel
Minnesota, who was awakened to find
his house in flames, and who, after
saving his family, attempted to save his
furniture and was oyerpowered by the
flames and perished.
OSHKOSH, Wis, October 5.-The
great excitement in this section is the
great fire in the northwestern part oi
the State. The country is all on fire
from Grand Rapids to Warsaw. A
gentleman just returned from that sec'
ton says there can be no estimation OF
the destruction OF property. Many OF
the cranberry marshes are entirely de-
stroyed and all the hay is burned. A
man by the name Of Donshoe climbed
a pine tree eighty feet and at that
height his hands were burned till they
were as raw as a piece of beef. The
woods east of Fon du Lac are op fire.
The train from Sheboygan was nearly
an hour behind time on that account
last evening.

The farmer who stints the feed Of his

to have something to carry to market
is foolish; the farmer who feeds bic
stock well through the winter months
is wise. One makes his stock bring g
price far more than the cost Of the extra

Of seeing his neigh bor's stock sell read

since Major Thomas was detailed to act

deposited $4,000 with the Treasury
Department to cover the error. The

there is the best authority for the state
ment that the deficit will not exceed
