A horse employed- in a lumber mill
at Guernville; CaL, for ihe last twelve
years to haul away the sawdust has be
come so well acquainted with his work
that he goes from one hopper to anoth

rout a driver and never strikes a post.
He begins and quits work by the whistle,
the same as the men. '. ' .
A citizen of Erie, Pa., was walking
along the street the other, day when his
dbg came up, pulled his coat and tried
te make him retrace -his steps. . He
turned around - and followed the dog a
short distance and picked up a fine re
volver. The dog seemed to know that
the weapon was valuable, although it
was too heavy for him' to carry in his
month.
' Pedestrians on Eighth street, Phila
delphia, were amused by the sagacity of
a dog. . The animal was trotting up
street when suddenly his muzzle fell to
the sidewalk He stopped, looked at it,
and after a few. attempts again got his
head in the cage. But just as he started
on his trot it fell off a second time. This
was repeated four times. Then the dog,
apparently realizing that it was beyond
him to fasten the muzzle, took it be
tween his teeth and ran on, his looks in-,
dicating the pride he felt in mastering
the difficulty. (
