Doubtless the fact that there has been

Brooklyn, which only few DAYS

A Canine Paper Carrier.

Passengers on an afternoon train
from Springfield. Mass, daily witness
in Westtield an instance of canine in
telligence that is worthy to go on
record. Soon after the train passes a
trap-rock quarry, on the outside of the
track used by eastward bound trains,
dog can be seen racing along with the
ears until a paper is thrown off by the
baggage-master. The dog instantly
seizes it, and, after giving bark Of
acknowledgement, trots down the en-
bankment to the house of his owner,
not far away. The sagacious animal is
apparently of Newfoundland breed, and
for three or four years has acted as
news-carrier in the way described.
Every day except Sunday, summer and
winter, he goes to his post on the track
at about the time the train is due, and
there awaits the throwing of the paper.
1t is said that he not only knows the
hour when the trains should come
along, but also that on one day in seven
there is no need of his services. APP
parently the dog has also learned to
know the whistle of his train from that
of any other. for if in the road or yard
when the whistle is sounded half a mile
down the track he rushes for his station.
