A HUNDRED POUNDS OF DOG AND A POUND
OF KITTEN.
Yesterdays Norwich Bulletin remarks:
1.-THE Rev. Father Kennedy of St. Patrick's
church has a handsome St. Bernard dog
that weighs hundred pounds or more,
which roams the streets like an autocrat,
and exercises his own sweet will He has
the appearance of being a moral dog, but
his reputation would be better if he had
not contracted the habit of following the
police about the city at night. Thursday
afternoon he met a painting kitten near the
postoffice, that was once white, but in the
dust of the street she had become a dirty
and unsiQhtly thing, such as small dogs
like to harrass She did not weigh over a
pound, but hundred pounds of dog could
not make the kitten run. She bumped
herself into a tiny ball and spat at the
noble St. Bernard number of times, but
when she found he meant her no harm she
yielded herself to his caresses. He Tapped
her with a tongue as large as she was, and
whom she became suspicious and wanted
to flee, the dog held her and Tapped her
fur until she was as white as snow. He
then left her to go her way and trotted off
through Main street. That kitten will not
forget her scrubbing as long as she lives.
Probably the dog has by this time forgot
ten It,"
