A Dog Story.
The Melbourne correspondent of the Hamilton Spectator writes : — " flere is the champion dog story. Within view of a certain point on the Sandhurst Railway line there is sifcnated a | trimly kept tai mhouse,} and every morning as the early train gees past the newspaper boy who accompanies ib throws out a newspaper, which a sag* acious old collie has been trained to trot down every morning for. It is one of the sights for travellers on the line to watch for this old stager, who waits for the paper, picks it up m his mouth, and trots home with it. The dog's master is of Ridical tendencies and rea is the Age. One morninsr, so the story goes, the Argus was thrown out to the collie, and who picked it up as usual, and shortly afterwards dropped it returning to his master paperless. The old farmer, it is said, tells with much glee how his dog knows him so | well, even to the extent of being acquainted with his political opinions,"
