IT is from Erie that the last report of

dead. The Rev. Father Maloney came
to pray for her, and as he invoked the
help of Jesus and Mary, animation re-
turned to the corpse-like body, and the
withered limbs resumed their former

walked about. The priest was so terri

The dog case of Ayers vs.. Morehead,
which was tried before Justice Hardy in
this place last Friday and Saturday, result
ed in judgment being rendered in favor
of the defendant, and the plaintiff was adj
judged to pay the costs. The result o.
the trial was surprise to many. Ii was
certainly proven that the dog belonged to
DR.. Ayers, ard that Morehead. shot the
animal because it kept his cattle of of
the doctors meadow land, but for some
reason Justice Hardy threw aside all tes-
tImony Of witnesses for the plaintiff, and
received only that of the defendant and
hts witnesses. We do not blame DR..
Ayers for not wanting his dog manned
for life and if Morehead had had some
men to deal with, he would now bs cary
ing load of bird shot in his anatomy for

scared, dropped the bride reins and
chung to the horn Of the saddle for dear
life. The boys said he appeared very
much like an old lady sitting in the sad
die. The pony ran all around the town.
