A CHILD KILLED BY A DoG.-A little
giri named Clark, aged tour years, was visit
ing, Friday afternoon, with her parents at
the house of a Mr.. Joselyn. at Homer, New
York. A daughter of the latter invited her
little visitor to go out TO the coop and see
her chickens. They went together, and as
they were passing through the woodhouse,
we've Joined by large dog belonging TO Mr.
Josslyn. Arriving at the henhouse, the
daughter of Mr. Joselyn opened the door and
passed in. The little Clark girl, attempting
to follow, was set upon by the dog, which
so frightened the Joselyn girl that she closed
the door of the henhouse. The screams of
the girl at length reached the ears az the in
mates OF the house, who came running to her
assistance. When they reached the spot the
dog had his teeth fastened in the child's
right arm, ard was shaking her furiously
She was rescued, but was horribly mangled.
Oneear was bitten of, the right cheek bitten
Outs and portion of the scalp torn OFF
Beside these wounds, both arms were terri
bly, mutilated. Everything was done to re-
lieye the excruciating sufierings of the I'M
fortunate child during the night, and in the

DEATH OF PUNNIE, THE EsoUINA

DEATH OF PUNNIE, THE ESQUIMAU GIRL
There died at Groton. Connecticut. Friday.
Punnie, the Esquimau child, or. a. she was
called by her new friends, Silvie. Silyie was
the adopted child of 10 and Hanna the two
Esquimaux who were so devoted TO Captain
Hall. Those who may have read the account
OF Captain Halls perilous journey may re-
member many interesting traits OF this Es-
quimau child, and how she was purchased OF
her parents for an old sled and a jack-knife.
Little Punnie was one OF the party OF ten
whites, two Esquimaux, two women and
five children, who, under the command OF
Captain Tyson. were separated from the Po-
laris and left in the dreary Arctic seas al
most To the mercy of the waves. From the
18th OF October, 1872, TO April 30, 1873. this
child fioated on the ice-f1oe. After having
drifted some two thousand miles, the party
was finally rescued by the Tigress, in lafi-
tude 50 deg. 81 min. north. The little Esoui-
mau was receiving her education at Groton.
and showed great sweetness OF disposition
and capacity. Physically, Punnie was very
diminutive, and her health not yerv eooi
IL seems sad TO think that this poor iIfIle
waif. after passing through such untold periI
should have finally succambed. thonsh shs
