CAPTAIN GREGG AND HIS DOG

When very young, took much delight
in reading an anecdote In the American
Preceptor, ofa dog who saved his masters
lifa and one of the earliest efforts Of my
memory was to repeat the concluding
lines ..,.
= MY dog, tho trus,iest Of HE kind,
With gratitude inhRmes my mind;
i mark his true and faithful way,
Aud IN my service copy Tray.
Tn after life, I heard it told with many
additional and interesting particulars, by
tho late General Dearborn uan whose
life would form half the history Of his cONn-
try, and whose memory was an inexhausti-
bio fund Of anecdote.
"Iwas," said. he, personally acquaint-
cd with Captain Gregg, and have seen the
valuable dog to which he owed his life
Soon after the British and Indians, under
General St. Leger, raised tho siege Of Fort
Schuyler, so bravely defended by Gneral
Gausevoort, Captain Gregg, Of tho New.
York line, obtained permission to hunt, ac-
campained by brother officer.
They were successful in the expedition,
and were returning with q load Of fresh
provision of which the fort had long time
been destitute, when they were suddenly
fired upon by an ambush Of Indians. Both
the officers fell; and the Indians coming
up, knocked them down with tomahawk,
and scalped them, as their manner 10, when
they have time, from the forehead to the
back Of the neck leaving only couple
of small locks Of hair by the side Of their
ears.
!. Captain Gregg wore club, by means
of which they took off the scalp, after hav-
ing passed the knife entirely around the
head. In describing the operation he said
It felt as il motion lead were poured upon
it.
Yet he had the hardihood TO be perfect
" still, suppressing even his breath, lest
his enemies should discover that life was In
him; aud the Indians, very naturally sup
posing their cruel work had been fatal, de-
parted.
After lying in this situation some time,
he felt his burning head touched gently
and tonderly; and he Immediately con.
occurred twas his favorite dog, which had
accompanied him TO the chase, and rua q.
way at the first approach Of tho Indians.

COMBAT WITH A BEAR. As Mr.. Daniel

few days ago, III Stamford, w.t. thew des-
cried huge bear; the son went home for
bis rifle, shot the animal and he fell The
father seized a club, and ran to despatch
him; but Brun had no idea of being knock
ed on the head like dog he sprang up,
raised himself on his hind feet, and stood
OIL the defensive. And here, il appears. he
proved himself an excellent boxer for as
Mr.. Oaks was aiming tremendous blow
at his head, he parried the stroke and with
his dexter paw laid his antagonist on the
ground. How betting stood at that stage
OF the combat we have not yet Heard. But
no sooner had Mr.. Oaks got upon his feet
again, than Bruin tried his strength at n
back hug; and graphing his antagonist,
began to squeeze him most numerically
when the son having in the mean time re-
loaded his rifle, placed the muzzle in such
position as not to endanger his father,
and sent ball through the bears head.

WONDERFUL PRESERVATION. On Mon
day, Aug. 3, while an elderly lady, with her
daughter-in-law and her two children were
approaching the village on the Geneva
road in one-horse wagon, by some means
the horse took fright, and ran fuziously
down the hill. The mother of the children
by some means extricated herself from the
wagon, and the horse approached the
bridge at the inlet, with the fore wheels of
the wagon entirely demolished spoke
in the wheels having been broken short off
at the husband in the forward part of the
wagon partially upon her back, the old lady
sustaining the two children. Destruction to
this little marty seemed ineuifnhlo. Several
unsuccessful efforts were made to ston the
horse IN his furious career, but he broke
past all opposition and crossed the BRIDGE
at the inlet. Here he found so MANY i'm
pediments to his direct course, that he turn
ed In by the stable of Mr.. Woodruff and
was OF course stopped. What is very re-
markable, after having been thus drawn
nearly mile, during which the legs of the
morse had been very much skinned and
bruised, and the wagon nearly demolished.
the two children were taken out ent;reI,,
un1'yued, and the old lady was but slight-
~ hurt, and was soon able to give an ac-
count OF the circumstances, enquire for her
lost bonnet, &c. The frantic and almost
breathless mother was soon after deserted
running in the distance, and messenger
was despatched to make glad her heart bv
the information that her little ones and
their aged grand were safe.

On Friday, he was forbidden the house of
his present companion, and friend request
ed to watch their movements, but notwith-
standing all their vigilance and the misfor-
tune that "love is blind" they could see
well enough to meet the next evening at
10 O'Clock, with fleet horse, and high
hopes, to depart undiscovered. The fam
lilies next morning dispatched messengers in
pursuit of the fagitives.
They were seen in Connecticut DRIVING

the young lady made his appearance, almost
GREATNESS with rage, hardly allowing time
to change his horses. 1t is said, from the
speed with which the young couple travel

will return back as wise as he went away

pose, and to congratulate their friends on

The pipes are cast each with a socEet or

BATTLE OF PRAvApI.

London, June 80. The recent Russian Bull
letins show that but little faith can be placed
in all of .hem. Those of prior date we know
asserted, that after the Grand Vizier had been
repulsed at Pravadi, he retreated Immediately
to Choumid. T1Iose INST rcCerveu ueCIare, UlIGt
he continued to invest Pravadi for ten days,
and that investment enabled the Russian army
to march from the Danube to cut off his
communication with Choumla, and to obtain a
brilliant victory over him. Both accounts can
not be true and we greatly fear, notw withstand
ing our high respect for our great Ally, that
the adage of Lying like a Buiietin, will be
as applicable to those of Nicholas as to those of
Napoleon. We refrain from noticing many of
the Bulletin exaggerations, as they must have
been apparent to all attentive readers The
Turks appear to be aware of the discredit into
which these war narratives have sunk, and
avoid issuing them. The Russian accounts of
the battle of Pravadi have been published. We
subjoin one given by a Turkish officer; and
although not disposed to give any preference
to Turkish over Russian veracity, we think
the truth may lie somewhere between their
statements
