WELL broke dogs are numerous in
Alexandria. But few have as much
common sense as the one belonging to
the Garfield boys. Beyond guarding
with an ever-watchful eye the younger
members Of the family, this dogs useful
ness had never been recognized until last
week, at which time he tried by bark
ing and running to the lake to attract
some one to that place. Failing in this,
he seized hold of one of the boys coats
and pulled him in the lakes direction.
Attracted by these unusual actions Theo-
dore Garfield and Woodhull Hicks went
to the lake. They there found COW
swimming around in an open place en-
deavoring to regain the ice. They
quickly procured rope, and with assist
ance OF man passing by, the COW was
saved.-Aleraadria douglas County,

For some six or seven weeks past a
boy named Seewald, son of John See
wa1d, of Lake Prairie, has been quite
sick, suffering from Inflammation of the
bowels, and was unable to receive per-
manent relief. He was very thirsty, and
it seemed impossible at times to quench
his thirst for water. He continued to
waste away until on the 9Th inst. he vom-
tied up small live animal very much
resembling caterpillar, of dull yel-
lowish color, about three-quarters OF an
inch long. This relieved him somewhat
temporarily, but the same night he vom-
tied up two more of the caterpillars. He
now feels great relief, but is very much
reduced in flesh and strength. 1t is
now hoped that he is rid Of the last of
his tormentors, and will rapidly recover.
We are informed that an animal like
these which he has been relieved of
abounds in the sloughs, and that the boy
must have drank them in some four
months ago. 1t is warning to avoid
drinking slough water.-S. Peter 1r'-
