A SMART DUG.
He Appreciates His Masters Beer,

He Appreciates His Masters Beer.
Lawrence Knapp, brewer, of East King
street, is the owner Of a dog of more than
ordinary intelligence. He is of the Ezqui
maux species and not quite as large as
a shepherd, although bearing a strong re-
semblance to that kind. He is covered
with q thick coat of hair, which is very
fine. His name is "Pus," and he has
been taught to do great many tricks. 1t
is very funny to see him drink beer CT
water. A person can throw q half glass
of either at him and he will catch nearly
every drop of it in his mouth. He seems
to be very fond of beer, and if in
doing his trick any of tho beverage is
spilled on his long hair he cannot rest
until he has licked it all of. Upon ore
occasion he took little too much beer
and became dizzy. For some time after
wards he was not as fond of it as before.
If persons are seated at table in tho bar
room and desire to pay for their drinks,
g. Pus will take the money to the bar
tender and return with the change to the
owner. 1t matters not how many pieces
of money there may be left he will bring
them back safely. A trick, which is taught
many dogs, is to place coin on their nose
and with a sudden notice have them
catch it in their mouth. This Pus"
does with great rapidity, either with a
coin OF beer bung. He is very fond of
playing with money, and he is often taken
out of the room while pieces are hidden in
the most obscure places he is then let in
and will always find the money. In the
evening, as soon as the newspaper is
thrown into the front door, Pus " picks
it up and carries it to the bartender. He
has gum ball, with which he Is always
playing, and can catch it almost any way.
He is great jumper and, for as heavy as
he looks, is remarkably active. Pus :"
is good Jnatured and is great favorite
with all who frequent the saloon.

TIE proposition to print the vignette
OF Gen. Grant on the new two cent
hostage stamp for first class matter
which will supersede the three. cent
stamp after July 1, 1883, is one that
should have co consideration. The
present beautiful three cent stamp bears
the head of George Washington, the
father of his country, because il is of the
dissemination that is most familiar and
most commonly used. Let it be con-
tinued for the letter stamp of the new
dissemination. No great confusion will
ensue after month or two and, above

An adjourned meeting of millers ant
grain dealers was held yesterday Afternoon
on the second story of A. G. Kepler'i
hardware building, tho purpose of those
present being to organize flour and grain
exchange. There were between thirty
and forty gentlemen present. Lands
Levan occupied the chair and j. K. Umble
acted as secretary.
The committees appointed at a prelim
mary meeting held last week were called
upon for reports.
The committee on constitution
consisting of VIM. H. Seyfert, OF
Philadelphia, Isaac Ranck, of Lancaster
and John Kahlmus, of Philadelphia, re-
ported progress. Not having been able
to finish the work assigned them, they
asked to be continued. Their request was

D. B. Lands, of Lancaster. VIM. West
haeffer, of Lancaster, and G. j. Frey, Ol

offered the association, gratuitously, the
room they now occupied until permanent
organization was effected, when, if they
wished to occupy it permanently he would
fit it up for them, make private entrance
to it, and lease it for $500 per annum.
Mr.. Seyfert thought the association
should meet weekly and should have q
room of its own. It was very kind OF Mr..
Kepler to offer the room gratuitously, but
they should not accept it on that condition.
They were able to pay for it. He moved
that the committee be instructed to 20
ahead, rent room and fit it up at once
either this room or some other one, SO that
the society would have suitable place to

DRUMORE DOINuS.

Our Regular Fairfield Correspondence.
Last week the Liberty Square lyceum
advertised that it would have an extra bill
of literary fare, and give fifty cents worth
for ten cents. The result was that nearly
all the Liberty Square folks took advan-
tage of the opportunity to make the forty
cents, and crowded the hall, in which the
lyceum was held, most uncomfortably.
The exercises were opened by the orches-
ira, provided for the occasion. Willie

the case under advisement. Meanwhile
she was held in prison, as she was an i'm !

of. Yesterday she was taken before
Judge Livingston and was discharged,
upon her furnishing bail in tho sum of
800 to be of good behavior for one year.
