Death of z Lyford,

ing: " Lyferd, who was taken from
here to the County Hospital at indie
pendence toward the end of last moath,
died there ou the Goth ult., aged absut

been neticeably eccentric, and aged

who has been resident of this county

yeloped the fact that it is another per-

The Newfoundland Dog.

The Newfoundland dog is one of
the most intelligent and esteemed
ofthe large kinds of dogs. 1t is
said to have come first from New
foundland, where II is used chiefly
as beast of draught to convey
light loads of wood or provisions
on sledges over rugged tracks.
Multitudes of these dogs at St John
and elsewhere are left TO shit for
themselves in the fishing season
and are again called to service when
required by their masters. There
are several varieties of Newfound-
lands, particularly a smooth breed
with rather small head, white and
spotted with black, which seem fast
becoming extinct; very large
breed, with broad muzzle, head
raised, noble expression. waved or
curly hair, very thick and bushy
curled tail, black aud whitc color,
and a smaller. almost black breed.
The Newfoundland is remarkable
for memory, and for patience and
forbearance of temper. 1t is, how
ever. and want my readers to note
this fact, apt to become bad temper
ed if kept in confinement. and will
then bite even its master. Some of
the most interesting anecdotes of
the affection and sagacity of the dog
relate to the Newfoundland. Its
paws are half webbed. No dog ex-
cells it as watch dog and its power
of endurance in swimming is very
great.

An interesting story of General
Sherman is told by park guard
When he was last in this city he
was riding along the Wissahickon

the general, and when he got oppo-

Said He would FIy. and He pId.

A Yale man who but recently for
sock the classic shades of the col
lege brought homo with him a gray
parrot. He lives in Minneapolis,
and he gave the parrot to his sister
on his return. The bird had been
his companion during three years
of college life. and its vocabulary is
extensive and Comprehensive
When annoyed the parrot can and
does swear violently, with all the
popular embellishments. OF this
habit the coIlegian imagined he had
cured his pet, but alas, not so.
For three weeks the parrot was
as demure and well-behaved as a
Sunday pupil, and then he
fell. There was some sort of gath
ering at the house. The pastor of
a wellknown church, dozen ladies,
and-oh, the usual tea party. Our
collegian wanted to show them how
that parrot could walk the tight rope.
!.
There was general assent. A line
was stretched between two chairs.
The parrot started along it. The
line oscillated, and the parrots tail
began to fly up and down as he tried
to keep steady. Still he kept going.
The oscillations became more vio-
lent and the parrot more agitated.
There was worried expression on
the birds face as it reached a point
midway between the chairs. Sud-
denly every one was startled by a
shrilI cry from the badly illustrated
bird.
"Look out" he shrieked, 'slook
out. d-n pour souls, I'm going
to fly."

Then he went back to his seat and

his eyes. The owner of the bill
coolly pocketed the change and

read. 1t was some time before the
