A Dog, Man and n Mule.

A North Carolina WAGNER sold his
dog TO a Laurens county man the 9TH
or day for half a barrel OF Sorgham
syrup. The dog. however refused TO
be sold, aud took refuge under the wa
gon. The Laurens county man crawl
after him with piece OF meat Ia one
hand and a rope in tho other. Al.
though there we're several spectators OF
the scene that ensued, 1t is difficult to
get 10 the facts. All agree that there
was scuaie under the wagon, accompan-
led by yelps aud yells; but no one Is
willing 10 affirm that the man had the
dog or the dog had the man. Finally,
the dog. as il would seem, brushed mp
against the hind legs Of the old mule,
and then all was still. IL is not certain
what killed the dog. One Of the spec
tators said he thought he heard the
trace-chains rattle. but when he went
around TO examine the mule, she was
asleep. The man had lost his hat. his
coat and the greater part Of his tr0ur.
ers. Subseqent examination proved
that the dog diea s1sl one ear and q
handful of hair in his mouth.-I Allan.
