There appears to be a dispesitiou on | the part of several of our people to interfere with the existence of a dog which habitates the west end of the , town. His voice is stronger than store butter, and is ever raised in the behalf

of every conceivable object under heaven. He barks at everything he can see, and a number of things he don't see, but expects to. He barks at the sun, the moon, and the stars ; at the back porch, the shingles on the roof, the trees, the frost, almanacs, poor man's plaster, ingrain carpets', lawyers, whitewash, and eye-salve. He will bark at things an eagle wou dn't, keeps it up all night, and comes up to the scratch as lively as ever in the morning. And the yard that beast exercises in is a sight to look upon. There is everything in that yard that you would like to see. There.' isn't a house nround there but.. has contributed something. Boot -jacks, chair -legs; cobble-stones, cannon balls,- #tpve-legs| boots almost new, crockery \ of various . . designs, hammers, saucepans, . stove wood, bottles, chignons, anU everything you can think , of— things . that were tossed over there, with a view to diverting his mind to^ other channels.. It shows what a deep* interest -people \will take in such matters., wji en their .interests are aroused.: >BuVit' do&ntt 'ftp* any good. He keeps^ pa; - barkjng^Bdr always will.— Danhury News, .r&'x "' ' —mm *~^ • '■ Ll— ___ ___— _ *
