The Portland Oregon Bu1letin relates
the following: We have just heard
story about an uptown dog, who makes it
his every morning duty to 20 around to the
front porch, hunt up the Bulletin, and
carry 1t to his master in the sttng-rOOm.
A few mornings since he paid his accus-
TONED visit to the front porch, but it so
happened that the paper was late and had
not been delivered, so he returned without
it. His master, thinking he had lost it on
the way, gave him a scolding, aud sent him
back after it. After being gone about five
minutes he returned with an OregoRian in
his mouth, having stolen it from q door
step more than mile from home"
DOG ELEVEN MONTHS DYING OF GRIEF
From the BrattleJoyo w. Pdqair.
The proprietor of one Of the hotels in
Richford, VT, has dog in his possession
who is slowly terminating his days in grief
for the loss of his master. The previous
proprietor of the hotel owned the dog,
which has black-and-tan blood IN his veins,
for almost eighteen long years, and was
very much attached to him. The attach.
ment was reciprocated by the dog, and
about year ago the master was taken i'll
and died. During bis sickness the dog was
shut up in stable for the purpose of
Keeping him quiet and of weaving
him from his master, whose absence he
would most likely loudly bewail in the
manner peculiar to such animals, and short
ly after the funeral the poor brute was lib
Grated. He Immediately instituted a search
for the grave of his late master and soon
found it, and would not leave it for three
weeks. lie was subsequently taken home
and for the past eleven months has been
well fed and kindly cared for by the pres.
ent occupants OF the hotel. bat no amount
of kindness and petting will elicit from him
any manifestation of joy, and he will, no
doubt, soon follow his deceased master.

\ few months since in coming down the
/ Ohio river, Il gentleman on the steamer in

was passing over the Grand Chain, rocky
shallow on the Ohio, near its mouth He
was convcrsing with the pilot. The night
was dark the shore could not be seen.
The boat was moving very slOwly-teelng
her way. The pilot became very restless
and uneasy and ceased talking. Suddenly
| however, the barking of dog was heard
far away on shore. There. said the pilot
frightening mp, and quickly giving the
wheel two or three turns, "Tm all right |
have stcered by the barking of that dog
every night I've passed here for Ave years"
The cackling of geese saved Rome and
the barking of dog told this pilot lust
where he was and what direction to head
his boat to avoid the rocks, and this dog
was the only beacon light or buoy to show
the faithful pilot how 10 direct his conrsn
to save his valuable cargo and still more
valuable lives
A HosPITABLE DOG.
/ From the heeSeoHle Essen Couaty, " Y. y
Republican,.
"Our Frank" has been immortaiized by
/ the publication of his biography, although
several interesting events were omitted in
it, and among them the following instance
/ of benevolent kindness and thoughtful
1 consideration. Frank himself had the free
run of the whole house, but an entrance by
the front hall was prohibited to all his
companions, and even to his especial asso-
ciate, the brave mastiff that occupied the
kennel This privilege Frank clearly COM
! pretended, and if any playmate presumed
| to follow over the threshold, Frank would
at once turn upon and repel him. On a
/ cold and stormy evening in Winter Franks
quick and impatient bark was heard at the
porch door When it was opened, he
Immediately entered accompanied by lit
tie dog, all dragged with snow and mud,
and trembling with cold. Frank conducted
his guest through long hall into the sit
ting room, and led him to the warm carpet
behind the stove, which was always re-
served for himself. The stranger was car
essed and fed. which Frank witnessed with
the most intelligent manifestation of de-
light and satisfaction. The next morning
the waif departed escorted by Frank, who
had allowed him to partake of his own
breakfast. How Frank picked up the suf-
ferng stranger and from whence he came
or whittier he went, | never knew.
