THE NEWFOUNDLAND. 697 N, Y., had a pair of line dogs, one a Newfoundland and the other a white French Poodle. It was the owner's custom to put the Poodle in a small basket every morning, and give the basket to the Newfoundland to take the Poodle for an airing. In the neighborhood there was a black cur that used to nip the Newfoundland's hind legs as he was passing. One morning, the Newfoundland put his basket down on the ground, went for the cur, gave him an unmerciful shaking up, and after that he could j)erform his duties as nurse without being annoyed by that cur. This same dog went to the post-ofSce each day, and placing his feet up on the window-shelf, waited for the family mail, after getting which he trotted home, and he was never kno\^«n to lose any of it.
