He waa a kind and loving bey, and had for a pat a little terrier dog, to which be waa very kind. After hla death the deg ahowed aigna of great grief, crying and howling piteenaly. Since the death of their laved sen the parents have regularly visited liia grave and strewed flowers and dropped tears upon the little mound. The dog. always acoempaniad them, and at the gravja would ahow nnmla- takable signs of grfef. A few days ago she family visited the grave and the dog did not return heme with them. Late in the evening the superintendent ef tha ceme- tery, Mr. Clouaer, saw the dog lyin« en his young master's grave howling piteoualy and tried te drive him away, but he would not go. He laid there until the middle of the next day, when he waa finally driven away with great effort. He'd Vote the Way Bis Master Did.

Lightning played seme queer pranks with the residences, of Mr. A. J. Fortier, Town Clerk of Pembroke. It entered by a win- dow, brolce several holes in the wall, and went across a bedroom breaking a large mir- ror, Oa the ground floor It passed through the parlour, cutting away part of Miss Fer- tier's shoe, and burning a leg off the piano. In the dining room it went through the wail, burning a picture. Mr. Fortier was standing at the back door and lost part ef his boot. His son was sitting by the win- dow when the lightning entered, and al- though the eash and glaaa was smashed he was unharmed. A Prediction FolMed. The Emperor Napoleon III. was by na- ture very superatitiona. The following anecdote was related In 1864, long years be- fore the fulfilment of the prediction that It oentafaas. Napoleon III. one day took It Into his head to consult the oelebrated ohl- romanoleh, Desbarollea, who died the ether day at a very advaaoed age. DeabaroUes told him some curious facts respecting his character, his tastes, and his past life. " New," quoth the Emperor, ' tell me something about the fntnre. Where will my death take place, and by what malady shall I die!"
