"General Fremont.”

. y > A farmer’s wagon, in which were seated several persons, was halted near Harper’s Hospital yesterday by a boy, who called out: “ You are dragging something under the wagon!’’ The farmer got down, and the sight that met his eyes nearly took his breath away. Untying a rope from the hind axle-tree he dragged a mud-covered object from under the wheels, look up at his wife and solemnly asked: “ Does that thing look much like our dog Gen. Fremont?” She cried out in great mental distress, and wanted him to see if the dog couldn’t be restored to life. “He’s been shoked to death, and dragged, and run over and killed, and you might as well tiy to resurrect the Pilgrim Fathers!” he answered. “ One hour ago he was full of life and trying to U>ra tic-peddler’s heels off; look down Upon him now and remember al l you can to tell the children when we get home!”— Detroit Free Press.
