A True Dog Story from Ohio.

In May, 1850, Phineas Jacney moved from Lewiston, Logan County, Ohio, to Richland County, Wis., going all the way by wagon, through Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana. He took with him an old yellow hound of the female persuasion, which was purchased from a Mr. Smith, of Lewiston. Arrived in Richland County, he settled down in a house of Mr. Janney’s brother. In a week or two the honnd disappeared and they supposed she had been killed. Soipe two or three months afterward a letter was received from Peter Staymate, of Bellefontaine, saying that he had been down to Lewiston to see Smith, the former owner of the hound, and there jvas the old dog in good health aud spirits. She had made the journey of about 500 miles, having passed over it on the way west, and, of course, remembering the track, as dogs so easily do. One of the parties who made the journey west with the sagacious animal is still living in Springfield and can vouch for the facts. — Springfield Globe.
