.4No6le Dog.-A Halifax paper states tltat a child was playing with Newfoundland dog, on Coach's wharf Halifax, a short time since, and by some accident, slipped over the end of the wharf into the water The dog immediately sprung after the child, (who was only six years old) 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 that it was unable to pull the little fellow out of the water, ran mp to yard adjoining, and where little girl nine years of age was spreading out clothes. He seized the girl by her frock, and notwith- standing her exertions to get away, he suc- ceedcd in dragging her to the spot, where the child was still hanging by the hands to the stage. On the girls taking hold of the child, the dog assisted her in rescuing the little fel- low from his perlous situation, and after licking the face of the infant, that it had thus saved, it took leap off the stage, and swan round to the end of the wharf, and immedi- ately after returning with his hat in his mouth. It is said that the father of the chid-to whom the dog bclongs-when leaving the country where he formerly resided, rescued 1t from the hands of some persons, who were about to execute the poor animal for killing a sheep.
