70 Its Oaspring.
A remarkable dog story comes from
Bonniebrook farm, near saltwater,
Sussex county. Among .the valuable
dogs kept On that large stockfarm Il Q
handsome collie bitch, the private prop
erty Of Joseph R. Dennis. to whose
family Bonniebrook belongs Three
weeks ago abe bore . litter of eight
dne pups. but seemed TO have difficulty
In taking care of 30 many. and two
were selected for death in the barn
yard tank. Mr.. Dennis instructed one
Of the farm hands TO accomplish the
deed. and it was done. The dripping
corpse Of the two puppies were then
buried In the manure pit.
The next Afternoon Head Farmer
Briggs in paying his daily visit TO the
youthful CANNES, was overwhelmed
with amazement to find that the collie
had in some way dug up the bodies and
brought them back to life. She was
licking and fawning over them in q
corner of her bed. Mr.. Dennis was sur
pri:ed when informed of this resur-
rection, and day or so later he perl
sonally attended q second attempt to
render life extinct in the two puppies
This time they were placed on a chop
ping-block and their heads beaten with
a club. Their mangled bodies were once
more buried in the barnyard pit
Mr.. Dennis visited the waverly fair,
and on his recent return to Bonnie
brook was net by Briggs with the as
founding information that the collie
had again found the melancholy graves
Of the two puppies and had dug them
up again. She had left one on the
ground with life extinct but had sue
ceeded in resuscitating the other. She
had, moreover, carried the collie puppy
In her mouth TO the head farmers
house, and had slowed 1t away under
the front stoop, where no one could
reach it.
The puppy is alive to-day, and is Wis
tied regularly by its mother, who fights
savagely IL any one attempts to dis
lodge it As tho little things position
Is at present impregnable, II is likely
that it will grow up to return thanks
TO its devoted parent Besides this. Mr..
Dennis thinks he will let II live as a
sors of memento.-N. Y. Sun

The Formers Science and Dexferity Too
Much for the Snake.
Joseph Brown, who drives the stage
between Galeton and Gcrmania, Pa,
while on a recent trip, noticed q cat
stealing along through the grass at the
roadside, three miles from here Brown
stopped his horses END watched the cat
20 see what she was after. He glanced
ahead of the cat and saw a large pilot
snake, or copperhead, lying in the grass
few feet away. 1t was toward this
POISONOUS snake that the cat was steal
ing. Brown at first thought he would
get out and kill the snake, but con-
cluded to see what the cat would do
with the deadly reptile, or what the
snake would do with the cat. The lat
ter stole slowly upon the snake, but IL be-
came plain TO Brown that the snake
was not to be taken by surprise, for il
had its glittering eyes fixed on the cat,
and was making itself ready for fight
When the cat hal approached to within
a foot of the snake she raised one paw
and held IL straight out toward the pi-
lot. In q fash the snake struck at the
paw, but the cat was still quicker than
the pilot, and whisked her paw away.
The snake missed It and az quick ne
lightning the cat brought her other fore
paw into play, and with II she dealt
the snake blow that knocked II foot
or more to one side, the eats sharp
nails tearing deep scratches in the
snakes neck. from which blood began
to fow instantly. The pilot was evil
IDENTIFY greatly surprised at the result,
of the round, but, maddened by this
cats attack, turned again for fight
Again the cut presented her left paw
as q feint, and again the pilot wat
fooled by IL, for hi. vicious strike wni
avoided again by the cats quick
maneuver. and again the snake re
ceived the cats terrible right-hantei
alongside his head. These skillfIl tao.
tics Of the willy eat were repeated foui
times with the same result. and then
the pilot, weakened and thoroughly
spiritless, turned and would hare
dragged itself OF the field. But the
cat sprsng upon the retreating reptile,
and with two or three thrusts and vict
Gus strokes with her claws tore the
venomous snake TO pieces She car
