Henry Weidner, butcher on Saratoga
street, is the owner of large bull dog
of more than ordinary canine intelli-
gence. This dog. has been trained So
that his language is very intelligible and
can be understood by any one. Henry

the butcher utters an oath it is im-
mediately repeated by his favorite
poodle.
