y flock of sheep blocked up the en-
trance to a bridge spanning Mill creek,
near Chester Park, o. A large shepherd
dog had been trying to INDUCE the sheep
to cross the bridge, but were suspicious

across, followed hy the whole flock, while
the dog stepped to one side, let them all
pass, and the IL trotting along behind.
