A Dog's Burial

The body of a large Newfoundland was buried in Greenwood Cemetery on Sunday. It was taken to tlie cemetorybvan undertn-Uor, und M.. u.ij Ui Wilmarth of 106 East Fifteenth street, to whora the dog belonged, were present at the burial. " lt was perhaps unusual," said Mr. Wilmarth last evening, " but we did just what you or any one would have done under the circumstances, I think. The dog has been iu the faruily for fourteen years - since he was a little puppy - and m„ wife was verj' much attached to him. He was a great pet of Mrs. Wilmarth's former husband. The dog became so old that we had to ctherize 'him, and then, as wedid not want to throw the body of the faithfulold fellow away, and as we had no yard in which to bury him, we concluded to bury him in our plot in Greenwood, at the feet of his old master. So I procured the services of an undertaker, who seiit him over there on Sunday. We had previously had a grave dug, and my wife and I, who were spending the day in Brooklyn, went to the cemeteiy and saw our old pet buried. It seemed to us a natural thing to do." "Itisn't such an unusual tliinit te uury a uog m (jrfèeiiwouu, sHW Tur. ülawsen, the undertaker who had the uneral in charge. "There was Mrs. Bamblin; she buried her doginGreenvood. There are several dogs buried here; but I don't know of any monuments erected to their meraory. A riend of mine, au undertaker, was teling me recently of an old gentleman wiio had a dog that he thought everyliing of. The old gentleman dietl iirst, and he gave orders that wheu the dog died it shoukl be placed in the vault by lis side, and it was done. I heard the other day of a maiden lady living on fVashington Heiglits, who has a passion or dogs. She. has several of the pets, uid they are given an airing each day n her carriage, whether she is able to ro witb tliem or not. When oue of li cm dies he is buried in her yard. Hiere is a handsome monument erected over her pets." - N. Y. Sun. From a curious statistical statement of the trade of Canada, just published, it appeari that the trafile between tlie Dominion and United States has increased in imports all around. Purchases of hardware from Great Britain were in 1874, $2,478,827. In 1878 they feil in value to $757,573. In the same period purchases of hardware from the United States feil only from $2,797,741 to S2,38G,587. In the case of cotton and woolen goods the import from Engl.uxl has fallen ofl', while that from the United States has positively inercased, and in regard to a great many other articles the same may be said. In a word, Canada has during the past five years increased her Importa from the United States by nearly iorty per cent., while ahe has decrcased her imports from Great Britain by twelve per cent.
