An IN1ELE1GEsr Doe.

Rover, the most intelligent dog in
Connecticut, as fallen victim to pois-
oned meat. His master, Mr.. Disbrow,
OF bridgeport, used to converse with
him freely, and the dog, looking up with
intense gly,vity, always understood what
was said to him. At the word Of com
mand he would go down stairs and close
or open the door, or climb upon GER
tam chair and place his paw upon GER
tain article named. He would some
times make / slight failure at the first
trial, and would then appear deeply
abashed, but on the second or third at
tempt he invariably succeeded. In this
respect he differed from the ordinary
trick-dog, as few Of the acts which the
dog sometimes performed at his masters
orders, for the benefit of visitors. had
ever been rehearsed. As an illustration,
OF what the animal would do, Mr.. Dis
brow, at friends suggestion, told him
once to go to the news-room and get his
morning paper. The dog had never
been sent on the errand before, but, for
all that, executed it faithfully. He sub
sequently fell out of the habit, but at
the word Of command, about two weeks
ago, went to the news-room and got the
paper again, although he had not done
the errand for the previous four months.
This was another of the incidents re-
lated by Mr.. Disbrow Of the dogs clev-
erness: "Mr. Terry usually had charge
of Rover when / was absent" said he.
"but lately lady friend down Main
street, who knew was going away, pro-
posed that the dog should come down to
her house and stay until / returned. l
ageeed, and the next two nights Rover
went down there and stayed, although
he never did such thing before or
since" Rover seemed to feel his SUI
periority over the rest of the dog crea-
tion, as he generally trotted by other
dogs on the street without offering to
make their acquaintance, or accepting
their attentions.
