DERRICK DODD'S DOG TALE.
There are so many wonderful stories showing the sagacity ot animals going the rounds of the papers just now that we are impelled to contribute our quota by inserting the following marvelous instance of intelligence of a dog occurring in a Market street restaurant the other day. A lady who had stepped in to ask a direction was about to leave the door again when a large Newfoundland belonging to the proprietor placed his paws against ncr and began eagerly sniffling about her clothes, at the same time wagging his tStl in a significant manner. The strange manner of the dog excited the suspicions of tho proprietor. The lady was seized, heavily manacled and, despite her stiuggles, dragged into an Eastern-oysters for- two compartment, and searched. On h«?r person was found secreted a valuable mines pie. The wretched woman was condemned to swallow four restaurant doughnuts of tho period, while the dog was rewarded with a nolid gold collar, set with diamonds and things. The abovo story seems v ildly incredible, wo know, but can be testifiel to by many eminent vvitneeess.
