A pig has been promoted by its owner to the position usually occupied by a dog. In the streets of Ashford (England) a young man is often to be seen leading his pet pig, of the white variety, along the pavements of ithe town. The unusual exercise appearo to agree with the pig, for it Btrolls contentedly along by the side of its master, and shows no impatience when he gazes into shop windows. Its chief concern 13 with tne dogs, from whose surprised and curious attentions it suffers some inconvenience. But it lifts its snout high in the air to express Us superiority, and when this fails a good gruff grunt usually sends the dog about his proper business.
