People at the depot yesterday afternoon,
just before the departure of the passenger
train for San Francisco, were nearly over
come by the immensely of an odOr pene-
unity citizens calculated Skunk !" At
first there were many quick and anxious
glances cast about to make sure that the
animal was not promenading the platform
and then men were observed to look at one
another as though suspicious that some one
had been on a skunk hunt and met with
such success that his modesty should sug
gest Il season of retirement. II was finally
ascertained that dog had come across the
mephitis i'll lot near the depot. and
ru5tled him in a spirited manner. When
the dog subsequently returned to his mas
ter in the depot, expecting doubtless to be
praised for his energy, il seemed to astonish
him to find how little he was appreciated
and desired rs q companion.
