Died of Grief.

A touching incident occurred lately at the residence of Mr Win, Trumbull, in Belmont County, says the 'St. Louis Globe Demoorar.' His little daughter, Maud, has been for some time sick with typhrid fever. She was possessed of a fine Newfoundland dog, and a warm attachment sprang up between them. In the little child's rambles the dotr was her sole companion. Since AJaurl has been sick the dog refused to eat, and would wander from place to place, familiar spots to both dog and girl, apparently in search of her, uttering low, plaintive wails. Day before yesterday the dog was admitted to the bedside of his little mistres*, and its joy was unbounded. The animal walked around and around the bed, and rubbed its shaggy head lovingly against the libble hand, of the sufferer resting on the out&ide of the covering. Time came for the dog to leave, which it at first refused to do bub finally yielded. It was then offered food, which it refused. It wandered oft to some familiar haunt's, where happy hours had been spent with little Maud, and finally lay down by the stairway leading to the little girl's bedroom, whining in a pitiful manner. No attention was paid to the dog for an hour or two. At 'ast pomeono oal'ed it, but it did not move. An examination was made, and the hrute was found dead. Died of puvo grief.
