A touching incident, which happened NOT
long ago in a Maine village, illustrates once
more the fidelity of a good dog. A working
man had a handsome Newfoundland which
he had reared from q puppy, and to which
he was much attached.
The dog returned his owners affection
and was extremely fond of following him
to his days work. The master did moi en-
courage this, but sometimes the Newfound-
land would creep along stealthily in the
rear until he was too far from home to be
sent back, and then would come to the front
with every sign of delight in his own clever
ness.
One morning he had followed in this wav
to q house where his master was at work
upon the roo. To keep the dog from stray
dinner pail m said:
"Ihere. old fellow, you followed me with.
my things"
The dog lay down as he was directed, and
me master went to his work. In the course
fold and was killed. His body was carried
TO his home, where his wife was living iii.
but no one could induce the dog to leave
his post beside the coat and dinner pail.
For two days he remained. refusing to ent.
anu showing MS teeth whenever any at
tempt was made to remove the things of
which he had been left charge.
At the end of hat time the wife of the
dead man, herself too i'll to leave her bed,
suggested that the dog would perhaps obey
her little son, a boy of 211 years, Just old
enough to talk plainly.
The boy was taken to the place, and.
moved by the loss of his father and the ex.
cltement OF the moment, ran to the dog, put
his arms about his shaggy neck and burst
into tears.
The dog seemed to understand that this
was no ordinary fit Of weeping. He licked
the child's hair soothineIy, and when the
hoy took up his fathers coat and pail the
faithful creature followed submissiyely nj
hrs heels. an If he recognized the little one
now as his master.

A seasOnab,e story.

Among other incidents of boyhood's
happy days ri lated by one who has ar
rived at the age when such things are not
undertaken but only remembered. is the
following. There are those of our citizens
living who will remember the event also.
as some of them were participants A
farmer lived in Bucks county, above Pax
sons Grove, who every season raised wa
termelons and sold them from the patch
10 whoever might give him a call. To
use the language of our informant. "He
was surly old cuss and the gang made
up their minds to get even with him, for
some reason or other. One day one of
the boys offered TO bet him ten dollars that
on any evening he might name he would
come In the patch and steal fifty melons.
AS he watched the patch himself and was
good shot, he was not long In accepting
the bet. On certain moonlight night
the boys started up the river 10 a boat
with them was the frame of man which
had been hurriedly made out of hair and
suit of old clothes. Above the patch
was corn-field and thither the crowd re-
paired. BY cautious movements the
dummy was got in position in the patch
and so fixed that when rope to which it
was attached was pulled, it would as
sumo an upright position and when slack.
ened il would appear to stoop as il pick
ing melons. The movem cnts had scarce
ly begun before the farmer caught sight of
what he supposed was thief and he
jumped to his feet and sang out, Now
you get right ont of there or | blow yeu
to pieces ! In response, the dummy bent
forward as II picking another melon.
DO you hear me get out OF the patch |
The movements still went on and he be-
came exaspcrated and said, 4 will give
you until count three and IL you don't
go, | will shoot you.' One, two, three,
bang went the old musket and down
went the thief flat on the ground. He
stood for moment as il contemplating
what he had done, then throw down the
gun and exclaiming, My gracious, have
shot man, and all for one watermelon
what shall do q and then started off on
c full! rua ia the direction OF the house,
which was some distance off. When he
came back with his neighbors to take the
body, he was very much sold man and
The laugh was on HIM. In the meantime
the gang, by lively work, had gotten the
fifty melons in the boat and turned tow
ards Jersey. The stake holder delivered
the stakes over in few days and a gen.
eral celebration was the RESULT

A Novel Fishing Line.

We often hear of bed quilts containing
several thousand pieces, sewed together
by some who had plenty of time and took
delight In such work. 1t takes patience
and perseverance, TO accomplish such re-
suits. The same can be said of a novel
fishing line which the junior member OF
the Thorne Brothers, tonsorial artists In
this city, is about completing. 1t is COM
posed entirely of ladies' hair and of every
shade and hue. Whenever occasion pre-
scented itself in cutting the locks of the
fair customers, he would beg few of the
silken threads, which would be carefully
laid away: and worked up at his conve-
nience. He has been engaged on the work
nearly five years. Each section is abou.
fifteen inches long and contains one hum
dred hairs. There are twenty five sections
already done and joined together He
expects to have the line finished in time
TO use for bass fishing this season.
While the line is composed Of different
colors OF hair, the sections are so nicely
blended together as to appear made of
the same shade. The line is surprisingly
strong and light and calculated to hold as
much weight as any first-class line. So
secretly had the W ork been done that only
few friends were aware Of the under
taking until the past week, when 1t was
exhibited for the first time. He feels, as
well he may, proud Of the result

an hAbi f1ClORt fOh THE HUME TEAM.
Despite the threatening aspect of the
heavens, the large assemblage OF spectators
who visited the Association Grounds, on
Thursday, saw the celebrated North East,
OF Philadelphia, succumb to Lambertville,
by crushing defeat, the cause of which
was undoubtedly due to the ever effective
battery work OF the home team. Hurley
was in the box and it was soon demon
strated that the North East men could not
hit the shoots from his catapult arm. On
the part OF the visitors gentleman occu-
pied the box, who had previously distin-
gushed himself by retiring the "crack"
team Of Doylestown, for three hits, seven
teen strike outs and we'll earned victory.
But in this game, he marred his brilliant
exhibition of few weeks ago, by his in
ability to control the delivery of the ball.
However the game started tamely. For
three innings ii was interesting and its
beauties were keenly relished by the en-
thusastic crowd but after this the boys
in gray had everything their own way.
There was no craftsmanship among the
spectators, who bestowed their approval
alike, upon the visiting and home players,
as their work merited, and they were busy
in the distribution OF their favors almost
continuously In the last six innings. 1t
was not until the eighth had begun, with
not run scored that the spectators became
thoroughly excited about the result. Up
to this time they had thought only OF the
splendid work Of the battery and the bril-
liant stops and throws of the home team
but when this began, every play, how ever
simple, ELECTED an outburst, and so II
may be imagined what delight there was
what cheers. when Sixsmith made his
hit. 1t was the longest ever seen on the
grounds, and the prettiest, for 1t was o
liner, and the most valuable, though II did
not win the day, still 1t put a superb eli
max to rather less brilliant exhibition of
base ball. Herzog made an excellent long
running catch of low fly from Trusiy's
bat. Callan, Colligan and McClnrg, car
ried off the fielding honors for the home
team, while Schenck led with the willow.
The following is the score:
