A Rather Extravsgant Eagle story.
[san Jose Cali Mercury. !

Some three months ago, while hunting in
the mountains east of the Twelve-mIle
House, Mr.. Buffington captured a young
American eagle. At the time the bird was
quite small and from appearances but few
weeks old. Mr.. Burlington has his pet con-
fined in the yard back of his shop, and the
many and curious monkey shines INDUCED
In by the mountain bird are really amusing.
Measuring some eight feet from tip to ii p
and weighing forty pounds, with tslons
three inches in length, there is but small
chance for any dogs residing in the neigh
borhocd. For as sure as a canine makes his
appearance the eagle spreads his heavy
wings, and with loud scream he lights
upon the back of his terror-stricken dog.
The scene that follows is one of great inter.
est The dog, without further notice, darts
through the eide gate and out into the street,
with the eagle attached to bis back, and
that, too, in manner to stay. Down the
street he goes at a break-neck speed. At q
distance of about two blocks the eagle bids
the dog an atfectionate adieu and quietly
returns, as though nothing had happened.
The same experiment is gone through with
whenever the dog can be procured. 1t does
not seem necessary to remark that dogs oil
any description are seldom seen in that par,
OF the town, and the same dog never more
than once. 1t would be blessing to our
city If we had one such bird on each block
1t would save our pound-master much I'M
necessary trouble.

A Horse and "A Dog Friends.
TROY Press. |

Mr.. Adams, of Van Schaick Island, is the
possessor of a bay horse and black New
foundland dog, who have formed wonder
full attachment for each other. They are
inseparabie companions, and one is not easy
il the other is out of its sight for moment.
Whether in the stable or the pasture, the
dog sleeps with his equine friend. If the
horse is harnessed, the dog is on the alert,
and follows wherever driven, and when the
horse stops the dog is close at its head, and
II is pleasure to witness them exchapg
caresses. The horse will scratch the dog g
back with his teeth, which delights him
greatly, and in return the horses face gets q
thorough smoothing from the tongue of the
dog Sometimes in sport the horse will seiz3
the dog By the nspe OF the neck with his
teeth and raise him in the air, but the dog
does not whimper but retaliates by watching
his opportunity to give the ear of the horse
q pinch with his teeth. They will fight for
each other wickedly. If the dog is attacked
by other CANNES, he seeks shelter under the
horse, and the teeth and feet of that animal
are active in bis defense.
