A Dog Worth Notice.

The Ansonia Evening Sentinel tells the following:
 A transient guest sitting in the office ot the Bassett House, Birmingham, few even ings since, was interviewed by bright little terrier dog, well known hereabout for his smartness. The dog looked up in the gentle mans face so knowingly that the latter re- marked, EWell, you bright little fel- low, guess you can do some tricks; what can you do?" At this the little terrier sat down on his launches, folded his arms in his most approved style and looked up as if to say, ''How is that for dog?" "Wel1 done," said the gentleman, ''perhaps you can do some other things: What else can you dos" At that the little fellow deliberately marched out to the middle of the floor, stood upon his hind feet erect and whirled twice around. Pretty good, pretty good, !" said the traveller; somebody must think good deal of you. Can you walk2' At that the little dog stood himself erect and walked with great dehberation to his new found friend and putting his fore paw upon the latter's knee looked up for approval, which he got most heartily, the gentleman saying: 'I know a man who has dog that I think IS not so smart as you that he values at S1,OOO. At this the owner of the dog (Mr. Charles Tracie) looked up from the paper that he had been reading with the remark: 'sBut I would not swap with him." The gentleman proved to have been good deal of dog fancier, having been at one time and another the owner of nearly hundred specimens. but had rarely seen one that seemed to un- derstand everything that was said to him, as did this one The pecu1iarity of the per formanee was that it was not routine. The dog seemed to have made his own selection from quite large number of similar tricks, without his masters familiar voice, or motions to direct. Some dog fanciers go 80 far as to think that by sFbreeding in and i'm dogs may be even taught to vocalize intell- Ribly. One man claims to have made con siderable progress in this direction.

THE LEE FAMILY GATHERING.

 l A Very FraternaI and Interesting As- sembIy Historical, Genealogical ana Logical.
 At the Lee family reunion in Hartford, w. l Wallace Lee, of Meriden, in his address re- | ferred to the fact that within thirty miles of Hartford lie buried the whole line of his own | ancestry back to John Lee of Pennington, ] with the single exception of one who died on the battlefield, and his grave alone of all is l unknown.
 MT. Frederick R. Lee, living near Birming- ham, England, gave very interesting ac- l count of the Lee family in England and ot I it's branch in Canada, springing from Dr.
 Ebenezer Lee, who, with his son, Hooker
 Lee, left Pennington because of his Tory sympathies during the Revolutionary war.
 The latter opened the way for & more ex- 1 haustive tracing of the English ancestors of John Lee and gave suggestions of valuable ] data. The writer expressed the hope that l revised edition of the Lee book might be l issued.
 Following the reading of the letters, MT William Lee, of Marysvi1le, Ohio, read an in teresting paper in which he followed out the six generations of one branch of John Lee from the Pennington John, closing with John 9th, who died in Hartford county in 1864. The l speaker said he was the only one living in the
 line he had followed and was of the third son
 of John 9th. He left Connecticut for Ohio fty-four years ago. A paper prepared by MT. William H Lee, of New York, was listened to with much interest. It was upon Curling fish Origin" and gave valuable compilation of historical and personal memoranda. What
 was for many years a matter of tradition documentary evidence now proves to De true that John Lee came to this country from
 Colchester England. Colonel Chester of
 London, an accomplished genealoglst, has
 made searching investigations of the genealo-
 gical record of the family and many import ant discoveries have been made. MT. Lees paper covered very much matter of value and interest, and showed an exhaustive and painstaking effort. The paper was heartily applauded.
 An interesting paper was also read by Leonard Lee, of Kenosha, Wis. MT. Thomas W. Lee of St. Johns, N. B., here introduced his nephew, MT. G. Herbert Lee. This gen tleman returned thanks for the cordial recep- tion given to himself and his uncle as repre- senting Canadian Lee family. He spoke of his great grandfather, Captain Joseph Lee, who was faithful to his king in the Revolutionary war, and fled to New Brunswick at it's close. In closing he re- ferred to the close union now existing be- tween England and America Professor John s. Lee of Canton, N. Y, was then called to the platform and spoke ill an enter taining manner for about twenty minutes, making special reference to the qualified tions and character of the family as worthy of commendation and personal pride. The speaking closed with extended remarks by the Rev. Burdett Hart of Fair Haven.

The Market in the Hands of o1iques.


 NEW YORK, Aug. G. Speculation in stocks to-day moderately ac- tve but the dealings developed feature of inter est. The market continues almost entirely in the hands Of cliques who bid prices up and down at will On any attempt to purchase block of stock of any considerable amount they bid the price rapidly up and on any attempt to market similar amount they forced prices down, thereby checking business to any great extent. Most of today's transactions were in small lots and chiefly for the account of room traders and other small spectators. Prices nuctuated frequently within narrow range up to the last hour of business when there was decided pressure to sell the whole list. There was an out pour Of stock under which values gave way sharp ly The closing prices were the lowest of the day for most of the list. The decline ranged from 16 to 211- The specialties were quiet and featureless The sales amounted to 320,0Oo shares.
 Money closed easy at per cent, at which rate most of the business of the day was done. Exchange closed quiet Posted rates 4S23704S41 l actual rates 4s1s4@4ss for sixty days, and 4s3A@ 484 for demand.

DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous excitement, excess or imprudence in eat- ing or drinking, and various other causes, induce Constipation followed by general Arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and stomach, in which the disorder of each organ increases the infirmity of the others.
 The immediate results are Loss of Appe- lite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure of physical and mental vigor, distressing sense of weight and fullness in the stomach, and increased Costiveness, all of which are known under one head as Dyspepsia.
 Inevery instance where this disease does not originate from scrofulous taint in the blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently relied upon to effect cure. Those cases not amenable to the curative influence of AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield ii the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood purifying properties of AYERS SARsAPA- RILLA. ,
 Dyspeptics should know that the longer treafmel1t of their malady is postponed, the more difficult of cure it becomes.
