The Dog.—The widow of a person in Shef-
field, who died of cholera,  wandered forth under
the influence of deranged intellect, and threw
herself into the canal.   No eye observed her
but that of a dog.   About eleven o’clock, the at-
tention of an individual was attracted towards
the place connected with Bennett’s dam, Shef-
field-moor, by the mournful cries of a dog, which
was answered as plaintively by the mournful
cries of another on the opposite bank.   On this,
an individual or two repaired to the spot ;   and
there they found the faithful animal supporting
the body of its mistress, by holding her clothes
at her breast above the water.   The body was
immediately got out of the water,  and means
used to restore life,  which fortunately proved suc-
cessful,  and she was restored to her friends.   It
appeared the unfortunate woman had gone to the
side of the water, thrown herself in, and had
been followed by the dog—how providentially,
we leave our readers to opine from the narrative
we have given.—Sheffield Mercury.
