ing affair took place at the Sunday Shoot room

Der of packages containing seed corn, and gave
each child that desired it package, with IN,
structions that the corn was to be planted and
tended and the result was to be sold and the
money applied for Sunday, School purposes.
In other words, it was to be children $ corn

made returns of increase, which, considering
the drought and general bad season, was very
good. About Is bushels of corn was received.

Some New stories about Dogs ana theIr

The Worcester, Mass Spy hints at an
interesting dog story thus 'Rover, the
intelligent black-and-tan dog Of the Police

among the newspapers last year, has taken
a notion into his head that his official duties
are no longer al City Hall. lie IS now one
Of the jail keepers, and gravely goes the
rounds with his friends Hair and Washburn

suits lis fancy. What induced him TO
change his office is not known. He Jump.
ed up from nap one day and trOtted over
TO the jail, where, TO all appearances, he
intends To stay. But there's no telling
where this dogs ambition will carry him.
] In the regular course Of promotion, his
/ next step will be toward the State Prison.
! Lookup JILL prisOn-lhal's the way many

A more satisfactory story about dog, aud
one having numerous precedenls, is thus
told by the Troy Press ''On Friday last
Edward Cooper, clerk of Everlsen's bank
ing house, aud who lives on Third street,
Bath, gcve away DOG which he had in his
possession. On Saturday night the dog
made lis appearance at the door OF Mr. Coo.

manner. Ii continued to such degree that

naily, Mr.. Cooper put GU his clothes, and
gong out followed the animal. II proceed.

named DERRICK, who had fallen from a wa.
goa and fractured his leg. Mr.. Cooper pro-
cured assistance, and caused the boy to be
removed TO his house. where medical aid
