Business Before Pleasure.

From the Hartford Conn. Courant
There is q sagaciaus Newfoundland dog
in Norwich. He will take the basket, in
which is note, and go to the market, get
meat, vegetables, or whatever the note calls
for, and carry it safely home. But he has
a daily task assigned him which he performs,
rain or shine, and that is to carry his mis-
tress her dinner. She keeps millna1y es-
tablishment and does not 60 home for her
noon day meal. Regularly a. the day
comes around the dog may be seen trotting
along Main street at about 1l:3O with the
basket in its mouth looking neither to the
right or left, but going straight to the store,
where he sets it down and watches it till
his mistress comes forit. And he il so we'll
known, too, among the Norwich dogs thathe
is never molested. But on Monday as q
stranger dog undertook to have little rack

commissary stores. He hung to the
basket but stopped long enough to get =
look at the cowardly cur that had interfered
with him, and then started off on run to
the store, where he dropped the basket and
Immediately returned to the street and began
to search for his assailant. He found him
on Franklin avenue and proceeded to chas-
tise him in true canine style. In about half
q minute he sat down and watched that Gu!

Haas there is calander clock which on
Saturday night was about FIVE hours fast
It was impossible to pat the hands back
without disarranging the gearing, and the
only way in which it could be regulated was
to turn the hands forward until they mark

ingly tediotis; Mr.. Haas, when he left at
O'clock, stopped the pendulum, intend

No material damage WAS effected by the
