Ellis Walton, His Dog.

Mr/lEllis Walton,,tbG bid standby teamster and hackman, went to Chicago last Friday morning, to visit his relatives, the Jouvenats, and left behind him his long-joint-ed and playfully disposed maltese hound, and a number of Mr. Waltou’s friends took compassion on the dog’s lonesomeness, after his owner had gone away, and in the kindness of their hearts boxed him up and sent him on to Chicago, consigned to Mr. Walton’s ad, dress, on the next train. They ha I.thought to send him C. O. D. (Collect on Dog) but Express Agent Reeve declined to forward him without advance payment, and they accordingly chipped in a dollar and a half and sent him on, prepaid. Mr. Walton received the dog in good shape, and when he eame home, left him in charge of his relatives; and now the old castoff boots and shoes around town, can repose on their native rubbish heaps in peace.
