Old Stories RetOld.

The Lancaster (Pa.) Express says Yester-
day, while prominent physician of this
city was putting up prescription for young
man, he heard tho low whining of dog at
the Office door. He paid no attention at first,
but as the wall grew louder he opened the
door, when in limped dog on three legs,
holding the other leg up as though in great
pain. The doctor directed the young man to
lift him up, when an examination revealed
that the little fellow had got q pin into his
foot. The pin was extracted, and the dog,
with look of gratitude and friendly wag
of the tail, scampered off.
The same physician relates another remark
able instance Of the sagacity Of the dog.
Some years ago he attended the family Of
John Cosgrove, now deceased, and Mr.. Cos
grove never visited the Office without being
accompanied by large yellow dog. On one
occasion-in the evening-when the students
were sitting in the office, q scratching was
heard on the window-pane of the low front
window, and looking out they beheld this
large yellow dog, who had stood up on his
hind legs in order to make his presence
known. Opening the door, the students had
the satisfaction Of seeing him walk gravely
into the Office, accompanied by smaller
companion, whose leg had been bruised and
was bleeding freely. The injury was dressed,
and the big dog departed with his protege,
evidently satisfied with the manner in which
he had discharged his duty.

vERITABLE DOMlCILE OF CNCANNi SF11IIS.
From the Concord Patriot.1

From the Concord Patriotl
We understand that considerable excite
ment prevails IN Contoocookville, over the
supposition that the Emerson house, situa-
ted about half mile from the village, On the
road to Hopkinton is haunted, the story run
ming as follows The Emerson place has been
vacant all winter. Mr.. James Emerson, the
owner only carrying on the place during the
summer. About one week ago Mr.. Hanson
Emerson, son Of james Emerson, moved into
the house, together with his wife ard two
children. Everything passed off all right for
the first three nights, when on the fourth
night, he heard strange sounds, but sr:ppos-
ing they proceeded from rats or some other
natural cause, did not pay much attention to
them.
On Wednesday night last, after the family,
had all retired, they heard a noise as OF some
one grooming. the groans being loud and dis
tinct and heard several times; also the doors
would fly open and then close again with vio-
lence. Not content with the above demon
STATIONS, the chairs commenced dancing
about the room. Mr.. Emerson, his wife and
children hasaly arose, much disturb eefby the
violent and strange demonstrations, groans
and noises, and, taking their clothing. left the
house. going to that of Mr.. Ambrose Chase,
who lives twenty or thirty rods from the
Emerson place. Mr. Chase took them IN and
Mrs. Emerson, who was very much pzostratod
by fright at the noises and groans, was kindly
cared for.
Mr.. Emerson, who is not easily frightened,
thought he would go back and male thor
ough examination of the house to ASCERTAIN if
there were any persons concealed in or
about the premises, and with MI. Chase the
two went all over the house, but no one could
they find and No noise could they bear.
The Emerson family can not be induced to-
return to the house, and, really what the
whole upshot Of the matter will amount to-
remains to bs seen. There are VARIOUS stories
and opinions sAoat about town, but the su2a
and substance Of the whole story is as above
related.
The Emerson family had no ;ndrcement to
misstate the matter, and it is plainly evident
that the demonstrations they 5eport Actually
occurred, proceeding from some cause that
they are entirely unable to explain.

be suggested. that under the eircum-

will be in order. 1t perhaps will

rng SUSPICIOUS BECK.

Mr.. Beck. the illustrious Independent
Of washoO county, it appears was the
recipient Of n compliment from the vir-
ginia and Truekee Railroad Company.
1t came in the shape Of a FREQ pass over
the road. We presume that no n
AVE Mr.. Beck, the purist, would have
suspected that bribery was intended.
Certainly no one would have made nm
ass Of himself by acknowledging that
his price vas thus cheaply valued by
the railroad company. Mark the virtu-
Gus action OF the suspicious Beck. In
stead OF returning the pass aforesaid to
the President or Superintendent OF the
railroad with his objections to receiving
IL, no sndeavored to make for himself
credit for superior virtue aud witticism.
Yesterday according to u special COR
respondent. this bride. seornsr in
troduced u resolution into tho As
sembly. 1t was about as follows:
Resolved that the following do pass"
Then followed a pass ovsr tho Virginia
& Truckee Railroad in the name Of II.
S. Beck. and the resolution further res
olved that the name be changed to p. j..
Mcmahon (ths name OF the fireman Of
the C~apitol.)
We submit that Mr.. Beck could have
done better. In the first place he ought
not to have displayed his ignorance by
assuming that the Legislature had
power to change the namo upon the
aforesaid pass. Such an act would DO
unconstitutional. Second; II he want
ell to do Mr.. Mcmahon a favor he should
have known that the proper method
would have been to apply to the proper
officers OF the railroad company for the
desired transfer Of names. Our respect
for the intelligence and good judgment
OF Mr.. Beck We confess is sadly impair
cd. lie should visit a phrenologist and
find out what he is good for. Evidently
he doesn't know, and wo admit our-
selves at fault upon tho same conun-
drum.
