 A pleasing story of horse sense has been related to us the past week and the facts are these: Will D. Lawrence, who lives in East Canaan, has an old sorrel mare that has been in the family for years. For year or two past Will has lived alone on the old homestead and the mare received good deal oi care. Since the death of MT Lawrence's parents the animal has been the only companion Will has had about the farm and they have become well ac quainted. A short time ago Lawrence sold off his other live stock and leased his land, and has been seeing more o his friends than formerly. One Satur day night recently MT Lawrence came down to Canaan to spend Sunday with his niece. Mrs A. P. Freeman, and Jeff the old mare in the pasture. The old sorrel stood his absence we'll enough until the next morning when she got lonesome and jumped the pasture fence and also came to Canaan. When Will arose Sunday morning at MT Freeman he beheld the old mare standing on the front lawn waiting for his appearance She was taken to the barn and cared for. and on Monday MT Lawrence Dor rowed harness and wagon and drove home.
