DISSECTION.

A few days since there was another
death Of surgeon, resulting from a
wound received while engaged in dis
secting a subject.--it occurred at Bath.
The particulars of both deaths are curl
ous--of that of the man dissected, as
we'll as that Of the young surgeon, who
was the assistant at the Bath Dispen-
sary. A drayman picked up large
needle, and stuck it into the breast Of
his smock frock. While afterwards en-
gagged in his labors, cask or something
came against the drayman, and forced
the great needle into his person with
so much force, and to such depth, that
il could not be extracted, nor could
the unfortunate man pursue his work.
Slight as the cause was apparently,
this accident occasioned the mans
death; hc soon became seriously i'll,
aud no art could extract the needle, or
save the individuals life. After his
death, the assistant surgeon was desir-
Gus of dissecting the body, and parGc-
ularly OF ascertaining the station of the
needle which had produced the morti-
fication and death. OF course, the part
surrounding the needle was the most
important object Of dissection, and while
employed in dissecting, such portion
Of the body, the assistant surgeon
rather slightly cut his finger. This

THE SPANIEL AND THE LION.

AAtlEL AMI he lIiON.
Such is the docile and caressing dispo-
sition Of dog, that it coucIliates every
enc. We have even seen several OF
these animals received, cherished, and
fondiy loved by beasts of prey.
To excite the ferocity OF the wild
beasts at the tower in London, one some
times carries dog or cat as a sacrifice
to them. DESTROYS olenj oying this fright
fol spectacle, a scoundrel stole from Il
lady beautiful little spaniel, aud car
RED him as tribute to the cage of a
mons'rous lion. Fright Immediately seiz-
ed the little deg; he crouched humbly
on the tlocr. and seemed to impiore mer-
cy. The ferocious animal s.oops TO re-
gard him, and, 10 the establishment of ev-
cry one, does him no injury. On the
contrary, the master having thrown some
food into the cage, the lion shoves it to-
wards the spaniel as if TO invite him to
taste it.
There hepceforth grew an intimate
friendship between these two comrades
of dispositions SO opposite. Forgetting
his natural ferocity, the lion was all
kindness 10 the spaniel. This little crea-
tire, on itspart, played gently with him;
ii leaped upon his back, and endeavored
to gFowi in imitation of him. One year
passed away during this surprising union,
when the dog fell sick and died. Seeing
him motionless, the lion believes him
asleep; he endeavors to wake him; be
moves him backwards and forwards, and
discovers, alas that he is no more. The
grief Of the lion is not like that of other
ammals-it is phrenzy. His name
bristles, he roars in a frig htfol manner.
and bites the bars Of his prison. He re.
turns to the Illuminate body of his friend
and looks on it distressfully. His griefi'
certain; the most awful roarings recon
mence he foams with rage, and skaters
the building that confines him.
A melancholy sadness succeeds these
transports of passion. The lion in des
par lies down by the dear companion o
his solitude-he warns his Iifeless body
upon his breast, and for five days refuses
nourishment. Exhausted at last by grie
and hunger, he dies-his head bending
upon that of the little spaniel, he so muci
loved. The two inseparable friends
were buried together Does history
present us an instance Of more perfec
friendship? What a model for men t.
imitate--of whom, alas you can predi
cate few connexions, other than those o
interest only.

Hoe TO produce the best Fyu;t.

Take scion from tree, the growth
of the preceding year, of the choicest
fruit to be found cut this scion into pie
ces of two, three, or four inches long,
dip the cut ends in warm rosin, to pre-
vent the sap from issuing out--plant the
pieces in soil suitable for an orchard. A
number Of shoots will spring up; from
these select the most thrifty for growth,
Iop down the remaining shoots and cover
them faithfully with earth in a short
time they will become roots to nourish
and hasten the growth Of the tree. An
orchard may be produced in this man.
ner at least two years sooner than from
the seed.
