DOGS ON ERRANDs OF MERCY.

The suggestion of the Rehr Zeitung is that
race Of dogs should be attached to armies in their
campaigns or at least to the corps Of ambulance
service attending upon them, and that after every
battle the dogs in question should be sent forth to
range over the field Of battle in search Of those
wretcned wounded soldiers who have not been
killed outright but have hidden themselves in
some refuge, and, after figuring In the list OF
"mitsing" men, too often perish miserably tefore
any relief can find them out. 1t seems that the
idea Of employing dogs in this way is by no
means a new one, but was brought forward two
years ago at Dresden, where some dogs qualified
for this purpose were shown in an exhibition.
Since that time experiments have been made by
crossing the st. Bernard with other races with
view to obtaining the most suitable breed, and
very satisfactory result is said to have been arriv
ed at by the German fanciers. The precise mode
of EMPLOYING the animals in their benefcent mis-
sions is described in the Vienna paper which ex-
plains that the dog is furnished with leather
collar and plate, having marked upon 1t his num-
ber and the division Of the iarmy TO which he is
attached, and the Geneva cross, To this collar is
suspended long leather bag containing pencil
and slip of paper and even q little lantern IN
case Of his being sent out at night. The wounded
man, upon being found, opens the bag and writes
his name If he can, upon the paper, together with
the nature of his injuries, and on the return OF
the animal to the ambulance, assistance is sent
under its guidance to the spot where the sufferer
is concealed.

WORDs or WIsnoM.

Eat OF the Tree OF Knowledge It Is better than
ignorance and groundless belief.
He Is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds
peace In his own home.
Woe to them that give soant measure and exact
full measure from ohers.-[ Mohammed.
Out Of suffering have emefged the strongest
souls and the most massive characters are scanned
with scars.
The human race are children of sorrow born
and each must bear his portion Weak minds
crouch beneath their loads, but the brave bear
theirs without repinlng.
The mind like barren soil, is soon exhausted,
unless 1t be continually fertilized and enriched
with foreign matter.
Compared with this how poor religious pride
In all the pomp of method and of art,
When men display to congregations wide
DeVotion's every grace except the hearth
The power ncensed, the pageant will desert,
The pompous strain, the sacerdotal stole
But haply in some cottage far apart
May hear, well pleased, the language OF the soul,
And in his book OF lie the inmates poor enroll.
-[Burns's "Cotters Saturday Night"
Reputation and character are two things that
must never be confounded The one is eternal,
the other internal The one is determined by
what other people say of us; the other is our In.
most and real self. The one may vary with the
caprice of the people the other remains unafeCt-
ed by the breath Of applause or the mask ofhy-
pocrlsy. Sometimes a man, from certain circum-
stances, may have very good reputation though
his character is radically bad; and there have
been cases In which the noblest men In point Of
character have been, just because they we're act"
ing out their principles in very poor repute.
LONG AGO.
The bark sails slowly over sunless seas
The coasts long faded out.of sight;
The gleam that fingered on the last dear height,
Lost, as we drift before lifes steady breezei
Yet, as the ship glldes onward fair green leas'
And wood crowned uplands, bathed in mystic
light,
Show on an isle set in the moonbeams white,
Or blush Of sunrise. Glad, we steer for these;
The mirage pHles, the mists close thick again,
We see the great gray waves, and nothing more;
And listen with yearning, useless pain,
| To hear the soft waves whisper on the shore;
Shore of the happy land we used to know,
Meier trOdden twice in life, the Long Ago.

Nothing was rescued from the mill but large
belt Fortunately the engine house stood about
thirty feet from the mill and was not injured.
The cause Of the fire is at present unknown though
suspicion rests on certain parties we understand.
The loss was from three to four thousand dollars,
with an insurance OF $500. The mill was run
by Mr.. Whitcher Of Woodsville and a Mr. Patty
of Lebanon, who seem to be very wide awake and
enterprising gentlemen, having commenced on
Monday morning to clear away the ruins prepar-

The DEXTER BANK RoBBERy.-lt is generally
supposed that four or at the most five persons
were concerned in burgarizng the Barre bank
George Miles, Pete Cnrley, Joe Kingsland and
another. But it seems that Detective Wiggin,
who was employed in that case, knows of more,
il his statement relative to the Barron mystery at
Dexter, Me, is correct. In that case Detective
Dearborn asserts that Barron the treasurer of the
Dexter Savings Bank, who was found dead in safe,
handcuifed, with the door locked, committed SUI
icide, and essays to show how the thing could be
done. Detective Wiggin, on the contrary, con-
tends that Barron was murdered by burglars, ana
asserts that the man who was principal In the
Dexter robbery is now in Europe. Mrs Barron
widow OF the Dexter cashier, asks suspension Of
public judgment while desiring most thorough,
impartial investigation. Detective Wiggin will
be well remembered by many of our citizens from
his connection with the arrest OF Miles and Cur
ley, the Barre bank burglars. We decidedly in
cline to favor Mr.. Virgins view of the case,
