Az lNrELLIGEN1 IRISH LADr'S STORY.
From the Troy Press.
OF all the stories ever published con-
corning the wonderful instinct possessed by
the canine family, the one related by a
very cstmablc and intelligent Irish lady
the other evening to Il Press reporter we
think Is without an equal \ young man
named Fitzgerald emigratcd from Thures
Tipperary County, Ireland, TO Australia,
many years ago, and being very fortunate,
in few years amasscd Il snug little for
tune, after which he determined to return
again to his birthplace and solace the rc
maining days of his widowed mother who
was still living Mr.. Fitzgerald, few
years before leaving Tor home. was the
owner Of a large dog Of the Newfoundland
species, having purchased it while working
III the mines from comradc. The animal
was quite young when Mr.. Fitzgerald OBJ
tanned it, and in his letters to his mother
he gave frequent accounts o. the animals
wonderful sagacity, and stated that he would
bring him home with him, no matter what
the cost might be. Unfortunately the shin
in which the gentleman took passage was
wrecked when ten days out from the Mel
bourne and every soul lost No tidings
having been heard of the vessel in which
her son embarked, Mrs. Fitzgerald gave
up the idea of ever seeing him again, and
although she was aware that he had a for

converted into cash and had it with him
when the vessel went down, or whether
a aiterward proved to be the case-he had

ally done as a safeguard against accident.
About three months after the date of the
Inflated vessels departure from her port a
Newfoundland d0g-thc same one Of which
we nave spokcn-appeared Mt the cottage
door Of Mrs. Fitzgerald, but in fearfully
omaciated condition. He had around his
neck massive gold watch. chain, attached
to which was gold locket containing n
picture Ct Mrs Fitzgerald and small slip
OF paper. The paper contained few SIM
pie directions rs to which bank his mother
was to apply for his money, and signed with
his full name. The bank authorities were
naturally incredulous of the widows story,
but on examination Of the matter, the dog,
watch-chain and lockot were proved to have
been the property of her son; and, after
some little delay, the entire sum deposited
by him, amounting TO several thousand
pounds, was paid over to his mother. Some
OF our readers are no doubt at loss to
know by what means the dog travcrsed over
thousand miles of salt water which he
must have done to reach Ireland from the
place where the ship is supposed to have
gone down. Wo confess to amazement at
the idea of such a wonderful exploit by a
