Susquehanna, Nov. 21.-SCme years
ago a humane Jackson farmer named
Tewksbury took pity on a small dog
of uncertain breed, one of whose legs
had been crushed by a wagon. Being
something of surgeon, Mr.. Tewkes-
bury carefully amputated the crushed
leg, and. when the wound was healed,
provided the dog with a light and
strong wooden leg.
In the course of time the dog, which
was a very intelligent little animal,
became aware that he could rest his
weight upJn this wooden leg, and use
It for all ordinary purposes, and that,
while it was not as good as the other
three legs, it was much better than
no leg. In walking or trotting the dog
always used his wooden leg. If, how
ever, he had any occasion to do leap
ing or fast running, or to show in
any way especial nimbleness, with
which the stiffness Of his artificial
limb would have interfered, he held up
the wooden leg gracefully ana leaped
or ran OH the other three. The dog
lived TO a good old age, respected and
admired by all who knew him. His
grateful affection for mankind in gem
eral, and for Mr. Tewkesbury in par
ticular, was the most marked feature
Of his character.

TWO FIRES IN THIS END.

Monday evening about 10 o'clock an
alarm of fire was sent in from box No.
s5, on West Market street. The blaze
was in barn in the rear of the lot
belonging to John Flynn.
The flames had made much head
way before the alarm was given and,
although four companies of the fire
department turned out, it was of no
avail. The building was entirely de-
stroyed.
Last night about a quarter to six
a slight fire was caused by the over
turning of a pan of grease into the
fire of the kitchen stove at the home
of Mrs. Frantz, of Diamond avenue.
An alarm was sent in from box No. n,
but before the fire companies had re-
sponded the flames were extinguished.
Little damage was done.

MRS. MGRATH'S TIGER CAT.
The tiger kitten of Mrs. McGrath,
of Red Rock, was born with three legs
To repair this natural deficiency, the
widow hired a carpenter to make a
wooden leg for the animal, instead Of
drowning it forthwith, as most people
would have done. The widow carefully
nourished the kitten. Little by little
the wooden limb adjusted itself to the
cats parts, and the cat, in turn be-
came accustomed to the leg. Today
the animal uses it artificial limb with
the same ease and dexterity with
which it uses the other three. When
the cat catches a mouse it does not
tear it with it's claws and teeth, as
most cats do. but strikes it a sharp
blow with it's wooden les, killing it's
prey on the spot.
