A Singular Case.

The following story showing
the sagacity Of a dog, was related
by the late Rev. Scott, D. D., the
first pastor Of the Mill Greek,
Beaver county, Pa, Presbyterian
church. Long ago when people
crossed, the mountains on loot OF
on, horseback, Rev. Scott wps
coming to the then far west to
preach. One day whilst in the
mountains, he noticed large dog
trotting along by the side of his
horse. Supposing the oog lost,
he requested the landlord where
he slapped, next niaht to confine
him in the morning until be would
be some miles ahead, hoping that
he would go back to his owner.
Bot before noon the dog overlook
him, and continued. to trot along
by his side until avery suspicious
looking customer made his APP
pearance in FROM Of the traveller,
when the dog at once attacked
the highwayman and SO alarmed
him that he protested he meant
no harm. Mr.. S continued his
journey, mentally determining
that he would never part with his
defender. After trudging along
awhile, thanking Providence for
his escape, he looked for his dog,
but found that he bad disappeared.
and he never saw him again. The
good man always regarded. the ap !;
pearance and action of the dog as
a protecting act of ofheaven.-Wss

Circumstantial Evidence

About twenty years ago there
was a case in one of the Eastern
States where man was tried
convicted and executed for mur.
der. 1t was known that be slept
with friend who had some mon.
ey-several hundred dollars-in
bills which had been paid him a
lew days before. Ia the night
the friend disappeared there was
blood on the pillow and traces of
it all the way from the door to
the river which ran neag the house;
a bloody kerchief belonging to the
suspected man was found near the
river, and the marked money was
in his possession. He could not
account for the others disappear
ance, and turned both red and
pale when accused of the murder.
Could any stronger proof e'need-
ed? Bat after the execu ion the
missing man wrote 10 his parents
announcing his safe arrival in
California, and as soon as he
learned what had happened he
explained all the unfortunate cir.
uumstances. lie had determined
10 go 10 California. but kent his
intention srclet except from a
person IN a neiehborinS town who
was to accompany him. Before
retiring on the night Of lis disap-
pearauce he had exchanged money
with his bed-iellow because the
bills he had were not the kind he
wished to carry He awoke in
the night and found himself bleed
ing Mt the nose, seizing a kerchiet
which lay on the table, be went
to the river TO stop the blood. On
his way there he dropped the ker-
chief, and just as lac was return
ing 10 the house his intended COM
Panion appeared and urged him to
start at once for the Pacific cost.
Fearing 10 disturb some one he
did not return to the house, but
proceeded with his friend who fur
nished him with hat, coat and
boots as soon ss they reached his
residence. His bed.fellow slept
soundly and knew nothing of bis
departure. The explanation was
clear, and established tLeinnocence
Of the man who had been convict
ed, but it could not return him TO
