A Dog That Climbed Trees.
-. Nichnlas ~ Inne.l

lSt. NlcnOldS lOr June
A friend of mine who lived in the Sierra
Madre Mountains had a collie that was an
inveteTate tree climber and woe to the
squirrel that climbed up trunk that Jack
could scalel OF course, straight trees were
out of the question; but one that grew at an
angle of fOTty-five degrees. and a rough bark
was quickly mounted by the collie.
This curious habit was the result of his
passion for suqirrel- hunting, and the moment
one of these little animals would dart up q
favorable tree, Jack was after it, scrambling
up so high that he was often found by his
master thirty or forty feet from the ground,
barking fercely at the squirrel, which had
sought refuge on limb beyond the reach of
the dog. In returning, Jack would settle
close to the tree-trunk, and back down, inch
by inch, exercising great precaution, well
knowing that with his short claws he was at
a disadvantage. When within few feet OF
the bottom he would slide and scramble to
the ground.

An Imnnrtant WITNESS.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The police to-day Sc
cured an exceedingly important witness in
the Anarchist cases. Directly after the
Heymarket massacre William Herit,
a laborer, told some OF his friends
that he was present at the
Haymarket on the night of the butchery,
and know a thing or two" This came to
the ears of officers, and to-day he was taken
into custody. To the States Attorney he
stated that he stood beside the wagon that
contained Spies, Schwab Fielden aud Par
sons on the night of the 4th of May, and
heard their inflammatory speeches. When
the bomb was thrown he saw Parsons pull
two revolvers out of his pockets and dis
charge their seven loads into the ranks Of
the police Further details of the statement
are withheld by the States Attorney.

LITTLE FOLKS SAYINGS.

A Boston clergyman has a bright little
four year old daughter whose saying are
often worth repeating. One morning at
breakfast he asked across the table, 'Edie,
whom do you love best?" Mamma"
answered the little one. 'Whom next?
And the disappointed father continued his
questions until the young maiden had de-
clared her affection for most of the neigh.
borhood without mentioning any love for
her father. Finally the clergyman said:
But Edie, where does papa come IMP" Toe
little maid paused a moment, looked coyly
up and then replied demurely, ''In the front
door,"
4 little girl, in company with her mother,
visited the house of friend living "On-the-
Hill" Rondout, yesterday afternoon. The
little girl was born and brought up in the
house in which she was visiting. Her par
ents had moved from it about month ago.
The girl took great pleasure in going from
one place to another, where she had spent
many happy hours playing. Just before
leaving her mother took her into the ladys
bedroom and showed her wee baby that
had arrived few days before. She looked
at it for moment and then innocently ex-
claimed. Mamma, we moved a little too
soon. We'd had got that baby if we had
stayed here"
'Come here, Tommy, and sit with me

she said. "Well, I'll tell you one" he
offered, genially. 81 don't want to hear it."
she answered sleepily. Pm sick, tell
you" smile of the most engaging sort
broke over the little boys face. He bols-
tered his cheek into his hand and his elbow
into his sisters pillow and said: I'm awful

Important Railroad Enterprises.

The Baltimore Sam of a recent date re-
fers to the recent organization of two
railroad Companies, in which the Valley
OF Virginia is deeply interested. The as
surance given by Mr.. Spencer, President
OF the Valley Road, ard I'd Vice President
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, that
during the year 1887. the Valley Railroad
will be completed to Salem, adds interest
10 the fact of the organization of these
companies. The SIN says
The permanent organizations of two
railroad companies were completed in Vir-
ginia yesterday, the Danville and North
western at Danvllle and the Roanoke and
Southern at Roanoke. Both are of espe-
cial interest to the city Of Baltimore.
The Danville and Northwestern has Lex
ington. in the Valley of Virginia, as it's
objective point, where a junction with
the Valley Division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Road would be effected. The road
would pass through the best portions Of
Pittsylvania, Bedford and Roclbridge
counties. Danville is one of the most
tiourishing and rapidly growing cities in
Virginia, and its business men have be-
come FESTIVE under the exactions of the
Richmon'i and Danyile system, which
controls both it's northern and southern
approaches. The president -eleet OF the
DanvilIe and Northwestern Road, Mr..
James Z. School6eld, is a leading mer-
chant, manufacturer and capitalist Of
Danvilie, and, it's understood, fully con-
WINGED himself of the utility of the pro
posed road, as well as the ability OF the
projectors to command the money to build
it, before cOnSenting to accept the preSl-
dency. Its board of directors embraces
some of the most substantial and intelli-
gent men in Pittsylvania and Bedford
counties, and the spirit which has been
displayed since the enterprise took shape
augurs we'll for its success. The meeting
at Roanoke for the organization Of the
Roanoke and Southern Railroad Company
developed a decided spirit OF enthusiasm.
Delegations were present from North and
South Carolina, who pledged liberal sub
scriptions to the road when it shall have
reached the line of Virginia and North
Carolina. A letter was read from Vice
President Spencer of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, expressive of interest in
the enterprise, and announcing the pur-
pose of his company to begin the extension
southwark of the Valley Division OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Road in 1887. Col.
d. f. Houston, who has been chosen pres
ident of the Roanoke and Southern Road,
is Northern gentleman, who has made
large investments in Southwestern Vir-
ginia, and is regarded as a sagacious and
energetic business man. He is president
of the Roanoke Manufacturing Company
and of the Crozier Steel Works, and gen
orally succeeds In the enterprises which he
undertakes.
