A Good Dog Story.

Dr.. Boyer, of this place, has a very
fine Newfoundland dog, with q kind,
intelligent face, which accompanies
him OF his visits 10 the sick. His
name is Rover. He seems TO take a
deep interest in materia medica, and
10 understand the treatment of ordin-
airy ills. Not long ago Christian Mil
ler, who thinks the only good CANNES
are the dead ones, gave Rover a dog
button. Rover, installing it for a
mint lozenge, Of which he Is very
fond, and believing Christian TO be his
friend, ate it. But he soon afterward
discovered that il was poison. So,
running home as fast as he could,
he went TO the doctors ~dispcnsary, got
down a bottle Of tincture Of lobelia,
pulled the cork out with his teeth,
drank copiously OF il, and by the use
of this emetic escaped death by poison.

A Very Costly Building.

Two young ladies of Maine have
started TO raise funds for a town hall
at Canton by the deceptive progressive
letter scheme. Each writes two letters
asking for ten cents, herself sends ten
cents TO the central treasury and asks
each recipient of a letter 10 follow her
example until the series has reached
the fifteenth stage. A friend OF these
enthusiastic young persons remarks
that the plan seems simple, but the
young ladies viii raise enough for a
handsome building by these insignifi.

the givers will miss. But how about
the postage billl Uncle Sam will be
the gamer by the sum Of s2,0l7.l2
which the writers Of these letters will

get through, and then there are the
manufacturers of paper and envelopes
to rejoice with the rest. How much

King Watched Potter.

In a published biographical sketch
of Hon. John +. Potter, of Wisconsin,
some reference was made to the alter
cation which he had in congress with
Roger A. Prior, in 1850, which nearly
resulted in a duel. The ~biographer
says: For months afterwards Potter's
friends, somewhat against his will,
hedged him about with their vigilance,
accompanying HIM in his walks to and
fro, as Prior had threatened 10 attack
him. Ono of these friends was Col.
William S. King, Of Minnesota, who
was as quick as a cat and strong as a
tiger. Whenever Potter started from
his seat to leave the house King rose
at his side like an ~apparition. st
