Hayes, The present Governor of Ohio HIVES
was soldier but not enough to burt him
OF ahyoouy else, for that matter; he was in
congress, but was never heard of there and

while, therefore, 1t is is true that very lI,,e

sherman mean? AS Morton counted surely

cannot mean friendship for Blaine or Grant.
and as the proposal of Hayes is obviously
mere blind, don't it mean holding the Ohio

perhaps John Sherman himself?

vUtes- The scrutiny was commenced At 10 A.

quarter past one, when the Sheriff declared the
poll. Mr.. GouldiDR had ,275 votes; Mr.. Daily,
l, ,l69; Mr. Lane, 641. EIghty-foOr votes were
lost through iuformalities and thirty blank
papers were found in the ballot boxes. The
declaration was awaited by large crowds on
the South Mall, and there were some biBses rs
the numbers were made known. The incidents
and result of the contest have left deep BeDse
of dissAtisfaotion amongst the Liberal electors,
who are now beginning to realize the serious
nature of the consequences produced by their
unfortunate dissensiOns. In she Carlton Club.
we are told, Mr.. Gouldine's victory is esteemed
q triumph of the greatest moment, and one
which ought for ever wipe ost the title "rebel"

Mr.. DAILY addressed q large meeting of his

miraculous water, and put bandage soaked
with it on her forehead. At that very instant

OF A SHEPHERD DOG
He Tramps from Kansas to His Old
Home in Ohic---Nine Hundred Miles
Travelled in Twenty-Five Days.
From tie 81. Joseph Mo. Herald.

From the 81 Joseph No HERALD
The following anecdote, which is strictly
true, was related to our correspondent
few days since by a very prominent and
highly respected official, and is based on
facts contained in letter received a short
time since by Dan McCawley, at LeonA,
Kansas:
Some time ago Mr., McCawley's father,
who resides at Flat Rock, Seneca county.
Ohio, shipped full blooded sheperd dog
by express to his son at Leora, Kan. In
due time the dog arrived at his destination,
and was conveyed in a wagon to Mr. Noes
house, two miles FROM that place, where
he was tied up in barn to prevent his
straying. The idea that on the following
morning the dog would turn up missing
never entered the head of friend Mac, and
his establishment may be imagined when
he discovered, shortly after breakfast, that
the dog had brokenaaway and left for parts
unknown;
The loss was deeply felt by all the
family. and steps were at once taken to
discover the whereabouts of the animal,
but all their efforts proved unsuccessful
and the disappearance remained a mys-
| terry for nearly four weeks-iudeed, no
clew whatever could be obtained as to
whittier he had wandered, or if stolen as
TO who the thief was. So after making
mauy unsuccessful attempts to recover
deep for solution and resolved to quit the
search, at the same time vowing dire yen
geance against whatsoever should have
stolen his valuable present, provided the
thief was ever detected
| "a
prise and comment, and created a nine
days wonder, but it is hardly impossible
to imagine how much more surprise and
astonishment was felt by Mac and his
family on receipt of the following inteli-
gence contained in a letter from Mac
father, written about four weeks after the
disappearance IF the dog:
In this letter he informed his son that
twenty-five days after the day on which
the dog was received at the express Office
at Leona, he appeared at his old home in
Flat Rock, Ohio; or, in other words, that
the dog, guided by his instinct, had trav-
eled aine hundred miles in twenty two
days. The most astonishing circumstance
connected with this anecdote is that the
dog was conveyed the entire distance from
Ohio to Kansas. Oh his outward Journey, in
an express car, and how in the world he
fever found his way back on foot is mys-
terry which only that dog can solve. That
he had Travelled the entire distance was
clearly apparent by the condition he was
in when he reached his old home, being
foot-sore, nearly starved and badly used
up.
Many a man might derive very bene.
fetal lesson from the intelligence, perse
verance and endurance exhibited by thi:
animal, and the foregoing facts tend tt
prove that the Supreme Being has real
Iy endowed dogs with an instinct which
! borders very closely on common sense, aaC
which they utilize more than many men d,
the talents which have been bestowed
upon them by an all-wise and mercifu
, Creator.
