THERE is a dog at present belonging to a
grocer in Edigghgrgb, whohas for some time
amused and astonished all the people ip thMeigh
bourhood." A man goes through the streets ringing
a bell arid felling penny pies, happened one day
to treat this dog with a pye. The next time the
dog heard the pye^nan's bell, he ran to 'him, with
impetuosity seized him by the coat,, and would not
fuffer him to pass. The preman who understood
what the animal wanted, Shewed him a penny,
and pointed to his master, who ftoo'd at the street
door, and saw what was going on. The dog im
mediately supplicated his ptafter by humble looks &
gestures. The mailer put a penny into the dog's
mouth, which he instantly delivered to the pyeman,
and received his p,e. This traffic between the
pyeman and the grocer's dog, has been daily
practiced for several months past, arid still conti*
nuet.,

HORRID MURDER,
Accounts from Riga mention a horrid murder
having beell. Committed at that place. A man who
kept a tavern without one of the gates of the city,
arid hod also a wind-mil on his ground, having de
tected one of his -men servants in several frauds,
turned him away, and retain d his wages for some
little indemnification. The fellow at his goihg away
threatened his master he would make him repent
detaining his wages ; Whereupon he went away and
associated himfelf with eleven more as bad as him
felf. Soon after this they went to the house in the
middle of the night, and meeting one of the maid
servants going for water, they murdered her, arid
put her body under the ice; they then entered
the house and stables, and murdered three o her
women arid five mtn servants; at last they entered

the landlord's apartment, and murdered Eis wife
and three of his children before his face; the
fourth, a boy of five years old, had hid himfelf in
the confufion, below a bed unperceived; they then
forced the landlord to open all his cheiis and draw
ers, and carried away whatever was portable and
valuable out of the house ; they then tied the land
load's neck and heels to the foot at a large table,
at which fry fat down and regaled themselves
with the best things the house afforded : here they
made an end to the repast, putting hay and straw
in all the apartments, and then fee the house on
fire, that the villain of a landlord, as they called
him, might be burnt alive, and which would also
consume the murdered bodies, and prevent any
possibility of difeovery ; and tp make all fore, they
brought the servant maid's body from under the
ice, and laid ft down by her living mailer : after
"' w ,ILUi^ plot, they set the hotie on fire, and
fled with their booty. The little boy who was hid
under the bed, was forced from hence by the
fqiol^e, and the father perceiving the child, called
to him, and desired him to take a knife out of his
pocket, and cut the cord from off his hands, which
the child did. The father being thus cleared,
took his little son in his arms, and made his way
through the flames, and immediately retired into
the covered way of the town, for fear of being dis
covered by any of the villains who might be -still
lurking near the place. The house and out-houses
being all in flames, the governor ordered the gates
to be opened, and sent out a party of men to try
to save what they could from the fire ; but, before
they could get to the place all was burnt to the
ground. The plot of those villains was so well
laid, that if it had not been owing to the miracu
lous "preservation of the child and his father it
might have forever remained a secret. The land
lord discovering himfelf to the officer that was at
the head of the detatchment, intreated that he
might be privately carried to the governor, to
whom he discovered the whole of this dreadful
icene, and who gave orders to secure and examine
all persons who should enter the town Qt morn
iog; by which caution the villains, apprehending
themselves fec<e from every politic discovery as all
evidence had perished in the re, were, on enter
ing che town, every one taken, and soon after ex
ecuted.

Yesterday fe'nnight a boy aged io years living
near the riverain this city, leaped from a garret,
window and fell 26 feet to the ground, with very
litte injury to himfelf onlv spraining his wrist and
otherwise slightly bruising himfelf.—The lad had
thh proceeding day made faft some logs to a wharf,
and dreaming about 10 o'clock in the evening,
that they had gone a drift, he thought he dove
from the wharf to stop them; instead of which he
dove out at the window. The family heard him
gtdan, and went to his affiflance—he appeared as
if just awaking from a found sleep, and could give
no account of what had palled, except his dream
which he ptrfcdly recollected.

"A^ Attempt was made by an Indian, to set
fire to the batn of Mr. Jackson of this neigh
bourhood. It was about the hour of ten, and the
night exceeding dark, when Mr. Jackson according

well with hi. cattle, ~ ±hp wn lv. £ h. v p hp,n

heard the itrokes of a flint and steel, a,d on pro
ceeding further, he difeovered an Indian preparing
to fee fire to a quantity of flraw which was lying
in a corner of the barn ; Mr. Jackson, through the
darkness of the night, was obliged tb dired his
(hot for the fire, as he could not clearly fee the In
dian. Orrthe discharge of the piece the Indian
ran, and Mr. Jackson fearing he might, with some
of his companions, ritake a more mifehievous at
tempt tfet night, kept a Arid watch with some
of his neighbours fill morning. When day light
approached they difeovered the tinder box, &c.
and a quantity of blood, which they followed about
two hundred yards, when they found the savage,
who had apparently expired but a very few mo
ments before their difeovering him."
