Anoiher DOG story.

From the Hartford Conn., Post i
The late Luke Winchell. of East
Granville, Massachusetts,, came to Co.
linsville, Connecticut, and lived many
years. He brought with him plain
looking dog, which showed remarkab bic
sagacity, and readily understood what
was said to it, and would perform some
amusing tricks, and 90 on some er
rands as correctly as child six years
On one occasion, to test his powers,
Mrs. Winchell wrote letter to a rela
tive in East Granville, twenty three
miles distant, aud, trying it securely to
the dogs neck, told the dog where to
90 with it. The dog manifested much
pleasure on startling, and went direct
to the house named, but the family
was absent on a visit half mile or
more distant, with some relatives. The
dog was seen to 90 to the first house
aud try the front and rear door, aud
then, seeming to reason that the family
would be at a house of a relative. went
there, and manifested great pleasure on
delivering the message. The friends
in Granville wrote reply to the let.
ter. and, tying it to the neck of the dog
next day, sent him back to his Collins
Vile home, where he delivered his re.
turn message in safety. Mr.. Wiuchel
was near neighbor of the writer, and
believes the above to be substantially
correct.

dark days of the revolution. The sole
diers of the old hero compelled Ann
Collins, late Mosley, when small
girl to draw brandy for them (the SOL
diers) from the barrels of her fathers
distllery. This old lady is now over
