On the night of September 27, 1891, the janitor of Parker Hall lianasquan, N.J., went into the ticket office to put away some old tickets, and was much startled at feeling something crawling about his feet. Upon investigation, it proved lo be a dog, which was in an extremely emaciated condition, and barely able to crawl. 'Jhe janitor alone has t c keys of the p ace, and he is positive that the office has not been unloc ed since September 1. As he could not get in by any other way, the dog must have been shut up for twe ty- seven days without food or water. There were only some old tickets and a cigar box or two in the office, and these were chewed into bits by the famishing animal. The janitor had been in the hall several times between the above dates, but heard no outcry, and was greatly astonished wh n he found the office occupied. The dog wa given a good drink of water and a loaf of bread, which latter was eagerly devoured, and at a subs-auent date the dog was doing well, being apparently little the worse for his fast.— Scientific Mnerican.
