The Tale of a Dog.

All the way from Maine comes the
following pretty little story about an
alleged Vermont occurrence. The
Portland Advertiser says: Mrs. Edwin
French of Londonderry, Vermont, in
attempting to draw water from well
near the house, was thrown into the
we'll by the breaking of board. The
water was several feet deep, but she
managed to keep her head above the
surface by clinging to the pump pipe.
There was no person within sound OF
her voice, but the family dog, an intel
ligent and faithful animal, went to the
we'll and looked in. Mrs. French asked
him, as she would have asked a human
being, if he could not get help. The
dog took in the situation instantly, and
bounded away towards the hay field
where Mr.. French was at work. When
he arrived there he made terrible up
roar, and persisted in his wild actions
until Mr.. French, fearing that something
dire had happened, followed him to the
we'll and saved his wife from drown
ing.
