FROM the Montpelier Argus.
An Illustration Of the devotion Of animals
occurred last Saturday, the chief actors
pelns the two dogs of c. p Pitkin. one an
irish ard the other an English setter. Tho
dogs are devoted to each other, and are to-
gether almost continually. Last Saturday
the Irish setter went on the ice on the river
behind Mr.. Pitkin's residence and broke
through when near the opposite side being
precipitated into the water. The animal
made desperate efforts to get out. but the
ice continued to break on the edge under
Its paws every time it attempted to climb
out. In this way the dog moved to near
the center of the .-er where the swift
current commenced to draw it under the
Ice. When the dog broke into the river
the English setter appeared to be greatly
disturbed. and when it failed to get out
rushed up and down, evidently trying tc de-
wise some plan for a rescue When, how
ever Inc dog commenced to be drawn un-
der the Ice, the English setter set up a.
heart-breaking howl and ran to the barn.
where George Fitzgerald was at work, and
barking and evidently trying to tell him to
follow, at last got him to the river bank
where he saw what had happened and
pulled out the other animal from the river
When the Irish setter reached the shore
the other seemed overcome, and barked and
made the most extravagant demonstrations
Of joy. tapping the other and very plainly
showing that it realized the danger from
which the other had escaped and its
thankfulness therefor.

had been quite prepared for trouble
when it came to enforcing discipline but
was agre,ably disappointed. There were
plenty of hard characters who might. by
themselves, have given trouble, and with
one or two of whom we did have to take
rough measures; but the bulk of the men
thoroughly understood that without disci-
pline they would be merely a valueless
mob, and they set themselves hard at work
to learn the new duties. OF course, such a
regiment, in spite Of or indeed 1 might al
most say because of. the characteristics
which made the individual men so excep-
.tiGrally formidable as soldiers, could very
readily have been spoiled. Any weakness
in the commander would have ruined 1t.
On the other hand, to treat IT from the
standpoint of the martinez and military
pedant would have been almost equally
fatal. From the beginning We started out
to secure the essentials of discipline, while
laying just as little stress as possible on
the non-essentials. The men were singu-
larly quick to respond to any appeal to
their intelligence and patriotism. The faults
they committed were those of ignorance
merely. When Holderman, in announcing
dinner to the colonel and the three majors,
genially remarked, IF you fellars don't
come soon. everything'r get cold" he had
no thought OF otner tnan kindly and re-
spectful regard for their welfare, and was
glad to modify his form of address on be-
ing told that 1t was not what could be de-
scribed as conventionally military. When
one of our sentipels, who had with much
labor harmed the manual of arms, saluted
with great pride as I passed, and added,
with a friendly nod, Good evening" colo
nel," this variation in the accepted formula
on such occasions was meant, and was ac-
cepted as mere friendly interest. In both
cases the needed instruction was given and
received in the same kindly spirit
