Thursday a hand cart was borrowed by the neighbour of a baker in this town to convey some luggage to a steam-boat, with which a person was shortly afterward proceeding up Queen-street, when a Newfoundland dog, the property of the baker, seeing a stranger in possession of his master's cart, went up, compelled him to stop, and very soon quit his hold. The dog placed himself between the shafts, and threatened vengeance upon any one who dared to interfere with him. After some time fruitlessles spent in endeavouring to beat away the unlooked-for usurper, the effect of a piece of beef was tried by an obliging butcher, but the dog would neither be threatened, menaced, beated, cajoled nor bribed to quit his master's vehicle. The porter, finding ineffectual all attempts to regain possession of the cart, was proceeding to take out the baggage, but in this he was as furiously resisted as in his former encounters with the dog, who, having fairly baffled all attempts to conquer him, couched himself between the wheels until his master could be brought, who was of necessity procured from a distance of two or three streets, and to him the faithful animal delivered up possession with evident satisfaction. — Lincoln Gazette
