About six weeks ago Il gentleman who
prided himself upon having one of the
best rabbit dogs in the city went rab-
bit-hunting north of the city. The dog
soon struck the trail of game, and made
chase. Contrary to expectation, he failed
to return. Search was made for him
through the whole neighborhood, but with
no success, and the owner Of that dog
went home with a heavy heart. About
three days ago a man passing an old
mineral hole heard a noise coming from
the bottom Of the shaft. A windlass was
procured a man Went down, discovered
the living skeleton OF a dog, which he
kindly brought to the surface. 1t was
found that the dog belonged to the Du-
buque gentleman, and was brought to
him. He had lost his good looks and
changed SO radically in appearance that
his master had grave doubts as to his
identity but the dog s recognition of him
and evident delight at seeing him again
satisfied him that he was his dog, When
he fell into the mineral hole he weighed
torty-seven pounds; when he was rescued
he weighed only twenty pounds. He lost
flesh, but gained an appetite, for the first
thing he swallowed was a chunk of bread
soaked in whisky. He then took a long
sleep, and was furnished with something
more substantial. if not stronger, and is
sleek look Neither fall of seventy feet
nor thirty days starvation could kill that
dog. Dubuque Uowa) Times.
