The question of extending the
Brunswick and Western Railroad
is up again, as will be seen from
an extract which we take from the
Albany News and Advertiser, to
be found in another place. 1t
will be very hard matter to get
our people to take an interest in
this extension business now, after
having been deceived SO often
But, for all that, Mr.. Wolfe pro-
fesses to be in earnest this time
sure enough. We shall see what
comes of it, but, in the meantime,
we promise to expend very little
enthusiasm in putting and blow
ing.
We have often heard of remark
able sagacity in dogs, but seldom
do we hear of anything that sur
passes that of the dog that attend
ed our little friend, Lucius Nc
Gehee, at the time of the accident
to which he happened a few days
ago. When the dog heard the dis
charge of the gun and saw his lit
tie master fall, he ran to him,
hovered about him, bowling pite-
ously; then, he would run to the
top of hill near by and continue
to give the alarm, and then return
in haste to where Lucius
was lying and display almost
a human sympathy, and con-
tinued to exhibit considera-
BILE anxiety until the little fellow
was taken into the house.
