Dogs We reco!lect an account oil
animal sagacity and sy npathy, which
went the rounds of the periodical press
es few years since, in substance a.
follows:-A gentleman sen: tayorte
dog to friend, in whose service, the
dog, from some accident, severely ftac
tnred one OF his legs; he was taken 10
a sklliul surgeon, who reduced the frac-
tnre. month or six weeks after, tie
surgeon heard violent scratching a.
his door, aud on his opening, to his sur
prise. he saw the dog, bis late patient,
in company with another dog which had
broken his leg, and was thus brou.Lt bv
ner.
An instance of as strong feeling and
as much sympathetic Kindness was re
Gently evinced by dog belonging TO
one Of our friends. During the severe
weather in the first week Of February,
an old house dog. worn down by age and
'nhrmIty, took up his quarters in an old !
out house; ayounger dog, of the Bea
gle species, was observed to carry off q |
part of bis food; and on being watched,
it was discovered that he carried it near
a hundred yards to the old dog, and !
carefully placed it under his nose, so
that he might enjoy it without the in
convenience OF moving, Must there
not have been communication Of ideas
between the dogs in each of these in.
stances? or does 81 mrathy and attach
meht alone account for their Conduct?

icient power was the reply. Then
exclaimed Buona2arte, let one be i'm
nedlatly formed without any regard to

the Emperor were, of course, obeyed;
and on being informed that il was in
full action. he repaired to the laborato-

ing to the taste produced by the con.
tact of two metals, with that rspidity
which characte ised all his OF ons. and
before the attendants could interpose
any precautiou, he thrust the extreme
wires OF the battery under his tongue,
aud received a shock which nearly de
prived him of sensation. After recov.
ering from its effects, he quilted the
laboratory without making any remark,
and was never afterwards heared to re-
fer to the subJaC'.
