CURBEST DOG STOEIES. 



XIX. 

 A Bea,oh street family are the owners of two dogs— a large one 

 aud a small one— that occasionally go on excursions through the 

 country. A few weeks ago the Uttle dog was missed. The big 

 dog appeared to be tineasy, aud one of the members of the family 

 noticed that after boiug fed he invariably carried all the larger 

 bones away. No one gave the matter any attention until Monday 

 afternoon," when two young ladies who" had been in Sampson's 

 woods gathering Autumn leaves iuiideiitly remarked that they saw 

 a little black dog lying along tlic feuce as though sick aud at the 

 point of death. The utterance was overheard by the httle girl 

 whose dog was lost, and she at once concluded that the unwell 

 canine was her property. On Tuesday moi-ning she proceeded to 

 the spot described by" the yotmg ladies. The large dog led the 

 wav, bai-king and wagging his tail. Arriving at the woods she

The lish of the family of the Gadida regularly visit the 

 northern seas in innumerable hosts. The codUsh come be-

 gives employment to umre than leu thousand vessels aud 

 and about one hundred and fifty thou.sand fisbernion.

 Struclive ic,i them as it is, tiie ehildren on the shuie could

 the schools of fish of the aalDiou family that resort to the 

 great rivers of Siberia aftei tlie breakin.g up of the ice. 



The resort ofthehsli to the sumo place is reiieatcd every 

 year with a v/onderfiil reirularity. 'ihe appeurauce of the

 in going up (he stream and accompliiShing rheirspawning, but 

 will return to the sea in one or fwo muntlis, ti-aveling from
