A NOBLE Doc.--A Halifax paper states that a
child was playing with Newfoundland dog on
Roachs wharf, Halifax, a short time since, and
by some accident slipped over the end OF the
wharf into the water. Thc dog Immediately
sprang after the child, (who was only six years
DID, and seizing the waist of his little frock,
brought him into the dock where there was
stage, and by which the child held on, but was
unable to get on top. The dog, seeing it was IN
able to pull the little fellow out of the water ran
up to yard adjoining, and where little girl OF
nine years of age was hanging up clothes. lie
seized the girl by the frock, and notwithstanding
her cxcrtions to get away, he succeeded in drag,
ring her to the spot where the child was stlll
banging by the hands to the stage. On the girls
taking hold of the child, the dog assisted her IN
rescuing the little fellow from his perllous sltua-
ton; and after licking the face of the infant 1t
had thus saved, it TODD a leap off the stage, and
swan round TO the end of the wharf, and lmme-
diately returned with its hat in his mouth. It's
said that the father Of the child-to whom the
dog belongs-when leaving the country where ne
formerly resided, rescued it from the hands OF
some persons who were about to execute the poor
animal for killing a sheep.
