A Dog story Worth Reading.

There are few travellers on the
Harlem Railroad who have not
heard Of the educated dog at Scars
dale depot. His name is Knapp.
He is the property Of Mr.. George
IJllman, the statioD.master.
Knapp is a shepherd dog, about
two feet high, and is covered with
a dark-brown shaggy coat of fine
hair. He was born in the Scotch
Highlands nearly four years ago
In his infancy Knapp was imported
at considerable trouble by q
gentleman ofScarsdale, who, being
suddenly called to Europe shortly
afterward, gave him to Mr.. Ullman.
Noticing genius and intelligence in
Knapp, Mr. Ullman began to train
him. Now Knapp can perform
many wonderful feats. He has
been taught to assist his master in
the performance Of his duties
around the depot. Knapp has
learned to tell by the clock when a
train is due; and at night when
the hands point to the proper hour
Knapp takes lantern in his mouth
and stands on the platform with
the light guiding the engineer to
the stopping place. Knapp knows
sn express train from a mail train,
aud q mail train from a way train.
In day time when an express train
approaches the station and the
track iBclsar Knapp shows q white
flag, which signifies all il well.
SAVING rwo tHILDRrN''s LIVES.
Not many days ago Knapp ap-
pEeared with the white flag as an

If science does not come to the rescue of
Mr.. John Forsythe, mineral explorer, of New
York city, he is in an ugly fix. On the 18th
OF November he and a friend, Mr.. Phineas
Barton, of Philadelphia, visited Webster
county, w. Va, to ascend Terrors Peak, a
high, dreary-looking knob, to examine some
curious meteorie stones said to have fallen
there. Next morning Mr.. Forsythe reap
peared, wildly incoherent and raving, and
called for assistance. A party accompanied
ton was found with wound in his head,
stone dead. Mr.. Forsythe said shower of
November meteors had come on, one of which
exploded like bomb-shell and shattered Mr.
Barton's skull. He sat up with the corpse all
night and in the morning descended for assist
ance. Mr.. Forsythe's story is regarded as too
thin, and from his cell in Webster county Jail
he calls on science to sustain his defense.

ment She was designed as tar back as the
early part Of 1869, and she has never yet been
trusted in really rough ocean waters. There
was talk of sending her to Vigo this autumn
to see how Atlantic waves agreed with her
but the visit is postponed, for it has been dis
covered that all openings to below except from
the hurricane deck would have to be closed
for four or five days, and toward the end Of
that time the atmosphere between decks would
become ga poisoned air-bath." When this
has been put right the Admiralty will con-
slider whether she can safely be sent into the
open sea but not much hope is entertained
of her ever being fit for that.

WELLS AND ANDERSON.
THEY HAVE FLED.
The Board Adjourned Subject to
Call.

In and about the State-House, Saturday
morning, was to be seen the same set of hang
ers-on, with the usual admixture of Radical
candidates, who have affected that locality
daily since the first meeting of the board.
Why they were there they knew not, and
the only explanation is that the assemblage
was merely the force Of habit.
No meeting of the Returning Board was
held, although an idea, it appears, prevailed
that there would be, as one of the papers an
nounced that the adjournment was made to II
o'clock A. NJ, Saturday. Wells and Anderson
became somewhat nervous as the session of
the board drew to close, and deemed it dis
Greet to make quiet exit before the final re-
suit of their work became generally known. Ac-
cordingly they wendell their way to the landing
Thursday evening, Immediately after the ad-
journment, which occurred little after 5
o'clock, and took passage on the steamer
Fleta for Alexandria. So anxious were they
to get away, that the acceptance of Mr.. Ar
royo's resignation was not written at the
meeting room, but was dated on board the
Fleta.
The Board was adjourned subject to call.

An AMBIGUOUS QUAcK.-One of the most auda-
cious quacks that ever practiced was John Harri-
son Curtis, ''aurist." He knew almost abso-
lutely nothing Of the profession that he adopted,
but he got something OF . reputation, and was
once summoned to attend Sir Robert Peel, who
was suffering from temporary deafness. He
went provided with two watches, one that licked
very weakly, and another that made as much
noise as clock. Peel began to question him as
to his mode of treatment, but Curtis, giving him
dig with syringe, told him that if he did not
hold his tongue dpe injury would befall him
The quack At first spilled the weak-ticking watch
to Sir Roberts ear, and of course he couldn't
hear anything, but after working for some lime
he used the other one, and Peel could hear per-
fectly we'll. It was . marvellous cure!

then the report got out that the commander

the place was contemplated. There is no

HOMICIDE.
One Negro Killed and Another
Dangerously Wounded.

About o'clock Friday evening difficult
took place on the corner of First and Locus
streets, between some half dozen parties
white and black, which resulted in colore(
man named John, being shot and Instant,
killed; also Alex. Smith, another colored NAL
belonging to the same crowd was dangerous
ly wounded in the right breast and lef
shoulder in the same ARRAY.
It appears that all hands engaged in a gene
raj row and knock down on the corner in which
one of the white men was severely beaten
after which the negroes retired into shanty
No. Locust street, between Philip and First
which is occupied by Smith, and hid away
under the bed, when in q few moments time
the white men entered the shanty and renewed
the dispute, which terminated in Johns being
instantly killed.
Smith fought for some time, and after at.
tempting to leave the premises, was shot and
dangerously wounded in the breast and shout.
der. Coroner Chastant impaneled jury
and adjourned the inquest until Monday at II
o'clock. No arrests have been made up to this
time.
The cause of the difficulty could not be

Vermont has had the reputation of being
the breeder of many fine sons, but if the
Rutland Globe is correct the same soil has
produced several men of the other SORT It
says: "Matt. Carpenter is Vermonter, we

our sons such distinguished names as William
Pitt Kellogg, the de facto Governor of Louis
lana Joe Smith, Brigham Young and host
Of others who have left their native State for
Vermont's good. 1t is reasonable to conclude
that they, one and all, behaved themselves
while residing under the shadows of our noun
tains, because they were here to fame and for
tune unknown when, however, they emf
grated, they all acquired comfortable compe-
tencies, and a reputation not at all savory."

drinking an occasional glass of ale have cut
