Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

It was related by one of the speakers of a late Temperance meeting, at a Baptist Church, Newark, that a favorite goat which had long been accustomed to follow its owner to a tippling house, where it usually lay on the stoop, waiting the master’s movement, was one night made as drunk as its master, by a number of wags, who forcibly poured the rum down its throat. The abused animal was never seen afterwards at that place, and ceased to follow a bad example.
