An Astonishing Dog story.

Inc following is clipped from the
Chester Evening News, but where that
paper got 1t, is not stated:
A dog belonging to the B-s, which
vas great favorite of theirs and re-
garded as of thoroughly irreproch.
able training, was charged by some
Of their noighbors with worrying
sheep At night. The family rsbutted
this charge on the ground that the dog
was fastened In their kitchen at night,
and was never let out until the servants
came down in the morning.
The farmers, however, persisted that
they knew the dog we'll, and had seen
him going from the sheepfold, though
he had managed to escape them. When
this was urged 30 strongly as to make 1t
further steps, one of the daughters vol.
unteered to sleep In the kitchen and
watch the dogs behavior.
When they made up the young lady q
bed, the dog seemed very restless and
strange, but by and by be settled down,
and all was silent.
A little after midnight he got up,
cAme to the bed, and shifted about until
hs had satisfied himself that the lady
Wa not awake. Then he leaped into
the window seat, lifted the catch Of the
shutters, and opened them. Then he
undid the latch of the window, which
he opened, and then disappeared.
After a long interval he came back,
closed and fastened tho window and
shutters, and finished by licking his
own feet, and the marks which he had
left by springiDg on the floor. To the
terror OF the seeming sleeper, he now
came and closely scrutinized her; but
she kept still, and he at last crept off to
his own bed.
AS soon as she heard the servants STIR
ring, the lady rose softly and slipped
through the door. But the guilty dog
had marked her. He sprang up and
made dash at her with most undis-
guised fury, for he saw that his secret
was discovered and his character blasted
by one whom he now regarded as q
hateful spy.
Fortunately, she got the door fast shut
In time, and at once alarmed the house.
But the dog was now 80 furious that no
one dared go into the kitchen, and at
last q gun was brought, pointed through
aD aperture. and he was shot dead.

Excitement ON Market Street.

Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Joseph +. Martin, Henry George and
E. L. Haynes consulted Levi q. Bird,
ESQ.,, in reference to the statement
made by Alfred Edgar Best about the
manner in which the Sheriff's sale was
conducted at Best's place of business
last week, and which was published In
the Every Evening, Sunday Star and
Telegram.
At Mr.. Bird g instance three writs OF
capias for Best's arrest were issued, aud
the bail fxed at $6, 900 on each. About
4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon these
writs were served on Best, and he ask
ed for time to consult his counsel. This
was granted by the Deputy, but as there
was no other course to be pursued than
to furnish the SIS, 900 bail or 60 to Jail,
be started out, accompanied by the
Deputy. to hunt 1t up.
In the meantime the news had spread
and large crowd assem- bled In front of
Best's place of business, No. 515 Market
street, and when wagon was brought
to the door shortly before 7 O'Clock for
the purpose of conveying Best 10 New
Castle jail, the excitement Was Intense,
and Market street was so blocked with
people that the police hai hard work
to keep a passage open to allow persons
to pasF.
Ali this time Best was absent in con.
sultation with Charles B. Lore, Esq,
while Deputy Sheriff Martin occupied
seat in front of his store. Finally,
Best came down the street, closely
followed by Deputy Sheriff. and as he
passed the corner of Sixth and Market
streets he assured come Ole who made
the inquiry, that he was all right, and
had succeeded in getting the required
bail.
He entered the store, and after few
minutes conversation with Deputy
Sheriff M,rtin, came out again, and
went mp the street with the Deputy,
and the wagon was driven away. The
mai ority of the crowd, thinking tina.
the wagon WAS only taken up the street
short distance for the purpose of get
ting it away from the crowd, before
putting Best in, followed it, and the
street in front Of the store became clear
of people.
1t was afterwards ascertained that
for the purp,s- VI keeping him from
going to jail, Char es r Lore. ESQ. had
become responsible for his appearance,
with the understanding THAT \ rchibald
Given, William Bright and James
Christy, will furnish the required
amount of bail. There was considerable
difference of opinion among the crowd;
some Of them said that the Deputy
Sheriff was foo lish to allow him so long
a time to procure hail, while others con-
tended thar it was not Best, but certain
other parties that should have been ar.
rested.

How Oregon Was Saved.

1t is a fact not generally known tina.
but for the knowledge and patriotism of
one man the valuable lands embraced in
Oregon and Washington Territory would
now be the property of Great Britain in
stead of the United States. The Hudson
Bay company, forty-five years ago, were
very anxious TO obtain possession of these
lands, and industriously circuflted the
report that they could not be settled, as
it was impossible for immigrants to cross
the mountains in wagons At public
dinner given in 1912, at which sew
eral officers of the Hudson Bay com
pany were present, news was re-
ceived that band of British
emigrants had crossed the mountains.
Toasts We're drunk in honor of the event,
and one of the enthusiastic Englishmen
exclaimed: Nov the Americans may
whistle, the country is ours. There
happened to be present at the dinner an
American missionary. DIR. Marcus Whit
man, who, when he heard the boast of
the Englishman, resolved that if it were
in his power to prevent it the country
should not become the property Of the
English. The next dav he started for
Washington on horseback and making
the Journey In winter. with frozen limbs
presented himself Immediately upon his
arrival at the capitol, to Daniel Webster,
then secretary of state. After he had
stated his case, Webster bluffly told him
the country was worthless and that wagons
could not cross the mountains. ''Sir
George Simpson, who is here, atfirms
that, said he, land | am about trading
that worthless region for some valuable
concessions in relation TO the Newfound
land fisheries" DR.. Whitman was in
distress, for he found that the treaty
had already been approved by the Sen
ate and was awaiting formal ratifica
ton and the signature of President
Tyler He decided as last hope to
call upon the President himself After
hearing him through, President Ty-
Ter said: ''Dr. Whitman, your frozen
limbs and leather brooches attest your
sincerity. Can yoa take cmigrants
across the mountains in wagons z"
"Give me six months and | viii take
thousand emigrants across, was the
reply. well, said the President, = if
YOU take them across the treaty shall not
be ratified With much effort the band
of emigrants was raised. and. though
they were met by a deputation from the
Hudson Bay company, who declared that
it was impossible to cross the mountains,
and were almost persuaded to abandon
their wagons before the time expired,
succeeded in their undertaking. The
patriotic missionary was vindicated. the
treaty was no ratified. and what will
doubtless prove to be two of the best of
our States were saved to the union. All
honor to the noble man who had the
knowledge and cou age to appreciate the
necessity of making an effort TO save the
Territory. In the northwestern celebra-
tion it is 70 be hoped he has not been
forgotten. Cincinnati Times
