thirty -one years ago. The members OF the
old Volunteer Fire Department. which was
then situated at the forks OF the road. kept
him as q Watchdog. A man named Jeffries
was foreman at the time. and he took quite
q fancy TO Ben.
In 1861. when the call was made for men
to go to the front to fight. Ben accomDa-
join his regiment. All the soldiers in the
brigade made q great pet of him. and he
would never leave the line. When the sol

loss keenly, and after searching the train
and depot concluded that Ben was lost to
him forever.
He then proceeded to his home on Butler
street. Great was his surprise on reaching
the englhe house To find Ben quietly seated
in tho door which he had left four years
before to 20 to war. DR.. McGrew secured
the dog from Colonel Rippey before he
