According to an American paper, a dogloving family inStateulntelligence Island, New York, has a romarkably intollegent pet. Bisouasing his wit one day it was proposed to send him upstairs for his mistress's wrap.

During the transaction of" Ordinary" business, his desire to' take part in a dbb'ate was quickly cut ahort by His Worship the Mayor calling hi.m'to order, and threatening to have'him relegated to more • spacious and airy quarters if he was not quiet. When " extiwdinary" business was in progress a voice:- in'.the; vioinity' of tho Captain' enquired,; I'Thia is a meeting foryouvaolves, .ls'nt it , Ones more he was ; to' havo.beon called to order, but a cloao iriapeotion. proved le ; was iri-the ai'ius of 'Morpheus, "Notice of motions" found, the Captain wid'e awake, and acting" on a signal from:the press table he rose to his jee't. :'!

The Captain endeavored to explain his wrinkles to an enterprising member of the presß who lingered behind,: but there was such a mixture of beer engines, fire engines, water, whisky, mail contracts, and politics, that it is doubtful if the member of the fourth estate will : ever venture to enter into a' controversy with tho redoubtable, skipper when he'is in a mood for' extemporaueous discusBions.

Referring to the matter of the Shearers Union, we learn, saya tho Mount Ida Chronicle, from a reliable source that the sheep-farmers of Otago and Canterbury, while admitting the right of the men: to form a Union', and declining up to - the present time to enter into a bond,, -not to employ Union men, havo determined that if the extraordinary rules promulgated by tho met; for the management of sheds are persisted in the most energetio retaliatory measures will be at once set aho'ut;The principal objections seems to be to the manner of engaging the men, and'we aro informed that it has been unanimously agreed to engage etnotly on the pre,Bjnt,system, ,ib well as to pay the present' price, It the rules are not altered, it is understood that, in the mouth of Oofcober all the large sheep-farmers will advertise for from; teii to .twenty learners, principally lads and young-men, w.ha will be a thouaand sheep or so between, ■them to try their prentice .hands upon, and will bo guaranteed engagements throughout ..the Beaton. Free passages for a lev ship.loads of shearers will- also il!> arranged after the termination of bhu ''Anstralian season, and.it is expected that by'this meaiiß about 500 learners 'and about'as many good Australian shearers will be- ready for the new season. No Union ahearers are under any eiroumatahccß to be employed at any work except Bhoaring. throughout the year. We' trust to- hear- that by some reasonable oonceßsior. on the part of the men all this. apparently unsatisfactory friction may be f amoved,
