EXTRAORDINARY sAcACITY IN THE
CANINE SPECIES.

short time since, gentleman at Rich
mond, Surry. betted his friend ramp and
dozen that his dog should go from Richmond
bridge to Brcnttord, and return with half n
crown, In TWO hours. The dog was accor-
dinghy taken to the entrance of Brentford,
where his master placed half crown ,inticr
stone, and then returned to Richmond -.
he dog was then dispatched to perform
his masters wager, and he went immediate
~ to the spot where the money was formerly
placed. but the Stone had been removed, and
the half crown taken away.
Unable TO find the money, the dog ran to
ward, kew-bridge, where he overlook a
gentleman and followed him into his house
near the Green. The gentleman endeavor-
ed to drive the animal away, but Prince re-
fused to quit him, and struck by the singula-
rity OF the dogs attachment, the gentleman
made no further efforts to part.
The tune having elapsed for winning the
bet. the owner of the dog expressed belief
that some accident had prevented the ami
NAL from returning, & requested his friend
TO go with him in search Of the dog. They
then went to Kew Green. where they obser-
we'd the gentleman before described coming
out OF his house, with Prince at his heels
The owner instantly accosted the gentleman,
and requested to know how he came by the
dog, observing, the dog was his. The gen
tieman described the manner in which the
Cog had followed him, and assured the par
ty he had no wish to detain him. The own,
er then asked the gentleman, if he h ad any
thing about him that was not his ownproper-
ty! In answer to this interrogatory he ex
claimed: "What do YOU mean, sir; do you
take me for thief?' The master of the
dog replied: "'Pon my honor l mean
nohing personal: but the dog has wonder
tui sagacity in discovering any article that
may have been in my possession. Pray, sir,
have you found any thing?" The gentleman
returned: Why, have found something of
small value: returning from Brentford, /
picked up half a crown by the road side" The
dogs master, with hearty laugh, exclaim-
ed: That half crown, sir, has been the
cause OF my dogs attachment to you MY
friend &C placed the half crown on the spot
you found it to decide wager, and sent
the dog fort; not fndingit, he has traced
1t to you, and. as proof of the truth CT what
assert, put the half crown down among
twenty others, and if my dog don't pick il
out from the rest, I'll forfeit 1902 The
gentleman with surprise, instantly laid down
the hall crown among five others. 1t had
been previously marked, and the dog imme-
diately selccted'it from the rest, & carried
tito his master, to the great establishment of
all VINO witnessed the circumstance.
The deg has frequently done similar ex-
plots. and is considered a most extraordi-
nary animal by the surrounding neighbor-
hood.

COMMUNICATION.

The important measures for the internal i'm
prorement of our country with which Congress
- about to be engaged, are worthy OF the atten-
ton of orr citizens, at least, in great degree
as those which relate to our Intercourse with TO-
reign nations Some weeks ago NJ. Pope intro
duced into tho Senate, bin, the object of which
was, to extent national patronage and assistance
to all the principal communications by canals or
roads, which by facilitating or opening an advan-
tageous internal intercourse between the most
distanLparts of the United States, must necessa /.
rily tend to strengthen and perpetuate their uni
on and to advance this nation rapidly to indie
Pendence upon foreign countries, by bringing in
togeneral us all the riches and resources of our
country The following report and resolution of
the Legislature OF the stat of New York, will
be read with pleasure at this moment. The u
nted States are highly Interested in the opening
OF the Western navigation of the state of New
York. Many millions of acres ofpublic land are
in great measure dependent upon communica-
ton between our sea ports and the great lakes for
their valae. Mr. John Nicholas, formerly mem.
Der of Congress from Virginia, was one of tn :
principal promoters of the measures which have
been taken by the state of New York, in refer.
ence to the western navigation, and was chairman
OF the committee of the Senate, which Jointly
with that of the Assembly reported on the sub.
iect.
Mr.. Pope's bill, in the Senate, not having vet
been acted upon, by that body, Colonel Porter has
introduced resolution, having the like object, in
to the House of Representatives, which has been
referred to committee consisting of member
from each state and territory, to the report of
which committee, we look with considerable in
terest.

~ Great Britain is restricted to the use Of West
Indi, rum, excepting in particular situations. If
foreign spirits become higher by the imposition of
higher duties, the merchant ships must use whis-
key. Sc
sc If it be thought inexredient to prohibit TO-
reign grain spirits, but to admit them under high.
.: duties, no drawback onght to be allowed on
their expectation. This viii enable us to enter
irto competition with them on favorable terms !;
md we will undersel them both in the West and
East-Iadies. The present time seems particular
ly suited to the introduction of our gin into the
East Indies, as very little or no Holland gin can
be there. The eastern members may object to
an increase of duty on molasses. but the present
scarcity and high price Of that article being fol-
lowed by proportional increase in the price of
rum, will si,ew them that this will continue to be
the case, even if very considerable duty be i'm.
posed.
=" A system of this kind would add from 80 to
SO per ct. to the present price of our grain, usu
ally employed in Oscillation, and would enable u,
in many places also to disil wheat, as is already
done in our Western Countrywide. Int

FROM THE AURORA.

Having. been few dave ago in the city OF
w Washington, visited among other objects of GU
rlosity, the Office where patents issued for in-
ventiors, where copy rights OF books, maps, &c.
are secured, and where believe there is such
an exhibition of ouriosites laying in heaps as
never were before seen. 1 told the gentleman,
who superi.tends the Office, that thought he
ought TO burn of such rubbish annually, TO which
he replied that l reminded him of-the Turks
who burnt the Alexandria library. lie said his
countrymen surpassed the rest Of the world in
inventions, and that they could soon equal any
country in manufactures, for they work by the
head, and one head is equal to a hundred hands
observed to him, seriously, that it excited my
astonshment that while in France and England
places are dedicated to the productions of genius
and the corservdtoiye DIES In Paris surpasses
your Presidents house and executive Offices to-
Sether IN extent you permit such valuable ma
chimes to lay in heaps, in a small room, as USE
less lumber, and as you despised the produc-
tons OF your ingenious countrymen- In Paris
too there were three directors, men ofthe high
est talents, and members of the national insti-
tute, about eight clerks, and many door keep.
ers, model makers, and treasurer. He ans wer.
ed we should Aave been better prepared for
displaying the gesius of this Western World, il
we had not been inundated by its efIorts-but
the Congress have long been convinced of the
propriety of rendering this establishment worthy
OF great people, whose increase in knowledge
and genius, sugpasses even their increase in num-
bers and yet such an establishment may be
made as sha II net subject genius to tax to sup.
port an extravagant system-In this country the
only fee is S so, which is paid into the treasury
Tor a patent for fourteen years, while in France
the fees amount to about 2Ol. sterling for five
years, 40l for ten, and COL for fifteen years and
in England from 100 to $50 guneas for fourteen
years: But more has been done by the product
ons OF mechanics, under the support of patents,
for the British nation, than by the effect of any
other system whatever and were it not for the
machinery used in the arts, the manufactures OF
England could nsvsr have surpassed the rest OF
the world; especially under such an immense
debt, and consequent tax on labor"
l asked what was most admired in the patent
office here as ingenious, and useiu He said
=" the cotton planters thought the gin, the farm
ers, the threshing machine, the manufacturers,
the spinning machines, and the machine that by
water will weave several webs at once, the
blacksmiths the Matchmaking machines-thosc
who live on head waters the steam boats, the la.
dies the patent bed, and the cradle, &c"-I took
the number OF the patents that had been issued
during the several years from the beginning, and

preparing, in Baltimore, to explain this mi
qutous business to Congress, we say no more
