LANGUAGE AMONG DuGs-Lanrsucc Kan
April l3 Probably the most convincing
and remarkable evidence that animals can
talk to each other was witnessed here few
days ago OH The firm Of William Scymore
Seymore has two dogs which are accustome cd
to remain in the barns and have become
firm friends with the horses, TO such All
extent has this friendship progressed that
when any Of tho horses or ulher Of the
dogs have bosn away from home for any
time, Immediately on their return they rush
together and rub noses and give other owl
dsnces Of delight at meeting.
The dogs aud horses &, to the pa ture
together and return home at evening in com
pany. This remarkable and close irand-
ship has been noted by many and much
commented upon, bu; the climax was
reached when one OF the dogs came rushing
from small piece OF timber and about hal /
milo from the barn. lie ran hurriclly up
&c the ether dogs and whined AMI barkc,i
ia queer manner, and then ran to the
house.
The second dog at once jumped to hi, ies'
and started eff on run to the woods a.
fast as he could 60. The first dog hunted
around tho place until lie found Mr..
ssymore, and then by btrks and strange
antics attracted his attention and started
back toward tho timber.
Mr.. Seymore paid little attention to him
until he wns told what occurred in the bnrn.
where the two dogs appa' emily held conver-
satlonand then he followed him To tho woods,
and thero MIR. ScymUrc found that ono OF
his horEes had fallen down in small water
course which was 80 narrow aud slscp that
it was impossible for the animal to arise.
The horse was lying perfectly still, while
second hy han i.,l
ing its face and showing by Is attention.
that he intcnded to comfort tie horse al
ttat was in its power. The f.c, tuat the
horse was lying i'll an out Of the way place
with the additional fact that tn, sccond doy
dld lot hesitate, but went drrec,I to where
1t had fallen, was pla'n evidence Of the fact
that the first dog had told tie story ana
given directions for finding The horse thsl
was in trouble.

um- There's more delay and disappoint-
mcnt ia the Tax Collectors office. Under
instructions from the Comptroller General,
Auditor Blanron commenced last Wednesday
making final settlement with the former
Treasurer, J. u. 7, Scott, and in order to do
50, was compelled to take the duplicate tax
book out of the hands Of the present Treasu-
rcr, DR.. j. i. Thomas. Ii i, not thought
possible that tho settlement with the Audi
tor can be made by tho 10Th, the time des-
'gnated f'r closing the Trca.urer's book.
In fac it is thought that it will require at
least n week. if not much lougcr time to
examine the look, in order to make safe
and final settlement. In the meantime o
further extension of time for the payment OF
taxes, will be absolutely necessary and just.
