4 Dog in a Fox's Barrow.
Boston Globe.

The following queer story of n dog
is told by Bridgewater man, who
vouches for its truth: Mr.. Benjamin
Howard owns valuable fox dog,
which started fox in West Bridge
water a fortnight ago. The fox led the
party into Rlynham, when, after fol-
lowing him some time, the hunters
lost sight and sound of the dog.
Finally the chass was given up, and
1t was expected as matter of course
that the dog would return. Not being
seen or heard from for two days the
dog was given up as dead, as he was
quite old. Some one suggested to Mr..
Howard that perhaps the dog had
driven the fox into his hole. followed
him in and got stuck there. Mr..
Howard, with companion, returned
to the vicinity where the dog was lost,
ana after long search found the hole
The dog had tried to follow the fox,
and had dug about twice his own
length, banking the earth up behind
him so he could not get out. When
found the dog had turned around and
was faced toward the entrance of the
hole, but he could not make any pro-
gress. 1t was seven days from the time
the dog was lest until he was found.

New Orleans, February 21.-The
United States senate committee con-
tinueS its inquiry to-day into the
Copiah county election. William
Oliver, the secretary and treasurer Of
the Wesson mills, testified that the
democrats used influence for their party
but never resorted to any other means
than argument, and never discharged
any one for voting the republican
ticket. II. A. johnson and Curtis
Robertson (colored) voted the demo.
cratic ticket of their own free will,
there being no regular republican ticket
and they voted for the best men. r.
B. Minis testified that they voted at
Green's store and the election was
quiet. There was q democratic club
there and he knew fifteen colored men
who voted the democratic ticket on
account OF their own free will.

The Keefer- soynton Contest.

Washington, February 2l.-Wben
the Keefer-B oynton committee met to-
day, Coleman, counsel for Keefer,
stated that the witnesses expected this
morning had not arrived, and asked for
a p~ostponement OF one day. The com
mittee decided to hear w. s. Furray,
of Columbus, o., a witness for General
Keefer, who testified that Keefer told
him Of an alleged interview with Boyn-
ton, but the committee would not
allow him to give the details Of the con-
versation as related to him by Keefer.
The witness said he had known Buyn-
ton twenty years; that his reputation
was good; never heard his character for
integrity questioned until now. He
had heard it said that he is a man of
strong pref udices and strong likes and
dislikes, had also heard charges that
Bcyntou attacked public men mali
ciously and without foundation.
Coleman and Keefer both complained
OF the haste with which the committee
pressed them to a presentation OF the
case. The chairma and Mr.. Poland
thought the remarks Of Keefer and
counsel entirely uncalled for. Coleman
apologiz d to the committee. and on
suggestion of Keefer, an adjournment
was taken until Saturday.
