His assistant on the surface of the earth had just hauled up a bucketful of dirt, which was carried to some distance and emptied’ ont, and the bucket, “detached. from the rope, as usual, lay on the edge of the pit. Peter was below wiping his brow or cheerfully delving, no one knows whet, when: his faithful dog, having got loose, rushed madly about in search of his master. The vigor. ous and excited animal bounded toward the pit to bark down to his! frierid atthe bottom, knowing he would get a friendly answer. This enthusiastic friendship of the dog roved the death of the man. In jumping tothe edge of the pit, he drove the bucket before him into it. There was nothing heard afterwards but a low painful groan, and all-was still below in the dark and narrow hole. When Peter was taken out it was found that the bucket. had split his head open. He. died instantly. Justice Spellman held an inquest an ine acquainted with these facts, gave their verdict accordingly, laying all the blame of the terrible accident on the dog—the last creature on earth that would Have injured or allowed others to injure a hair of his master. So great was the grief or affliction of the animal on finding that the cold hand of Peter caressed him no more, and the voice of Peter failed to reply to his friendly yelps, that he lay under the dead man’s couch and died himself.
