Loss Of a Valuable Dcq.

Col. o. n. Blackington had the misfor-
tune to lose his favorite fox hound,
John M Friday, while hunting a
fox near the Bond brook.
The latter was started in the woods
near the Bond brook road, and was chased
by the hound toward the brick yards and
granite quarlies, until he reached the
brook. The fox safely crossed the thin
ice, but the dog broke through, and after
vainly attempting to reach the shore,
sank exhausted.
John M was favorite with all who
knew him. and of these there were many.
AT the muster grounds and about the
armory. he was an especial favorite, and
was highly valued by Col Blackington
1t is q singular coincidence that this
dogs father met death by drowning, in
Dead river some time ago.
