" Have you much fish in your bay ?" asked a person of a fisherman. — " Yes, there's good eel in it," was rather a slippery reply. ' A dog having been killed lately in Grahamstown, the owner has had him buried, and got a nice headboard made for the grave, which bears the following; inscription : — " In memory of Sancho,' killed by savage curs, Eeb. 22nd, 1572. Here lie the remains of my faithful little friend, whose fidelity and love were without human selfishness or hypocrisy. These virtues, so rare in mac, 1 found in my poor dumb pet, and place this tablet as a record of my loss."
