ANEcDoTE OF DOG. An ill.fated cat
fell into the hands of some juvenile rufians,
commencing the first stage of cruelty,
which often leads to great crimes and an
ignominious end. The little wretches had
passed from cruelty to cruelty, alternately
stonlng their victim and dragging it through
dirty pool of water, then beating and
menaclng it with drowning. BpedS passed
by, unheeding the agonized animals cries
OF distress, which were now nearly coming
to close with its life, when the feeling
quadruped came forward to save it. The
dog having contemplated for some time this
scene of inhumanity, and barked his disap-
probation thereof, rushed forward upon the
young assassns, and driving them one by
one furiousl off the spot, sprang TO the res
cue of the fainting and bleeding animal,
and Withdrawing it from the deep ditch,
bore it off in triumph to his quarters, there
extending it upon straw, and licking it all
over till he recalled the vital spark, and
then laying himself down upon it, restored
it TO some degree of ease from the warmth
impaired to it. After this, the kind and
feeling dog fetched provisions to his sick
charge, and the people in the house. inspir-
ed by the example of the minor animal,
gave ii warm milk. Day after day did the
dog tend the sick object of his care, until
it was perfectly recovered and they are
both to he seen at this day, after Il long
lapse of years, at the Talbot Iun, Liver,

GRAPES. The editor of the Baltimore
Patriot acknowledges the receipt of bask-
ct of Grapes from DR., Norton, of Rich.
mond, Va, consisting of the "Woodson"
and the "Cunningham" native varieties,
which the Doctor introduced into his vine
yard from Prince Edward county, in that
State. The Woodson is red grape, the
berry medium size, between the chicken
and the large fox; the lunches very com
pact and weighing about o. j; free from
pulp, and rich flavor. The Cunningham, is
a black OF deep purple, covered with bloom
the lunches ragged and irregular, lin this,
resembling the chicken grape berry lit
tie less than that of the Woodson, free from
pulp, and rich in saccharine matter the
skin thick and leathery. The latter re-
sembling in flavor and richness, the Herbe
mont Madeira, and both are decidedly very
superior grapes, both for the table and wine.
Each OF these grapes has but one seed, and
that very small one.-Bat.imore Patriot.

The SHARK. The capture of one of
those voracious animals frequently beguiles
a tedious hour during long voyage. Its
struggles, when brought on the deck are
very great, but Il few severe blows on the
nose soon disables it from further exertions.
When seeing an object, The animal turns
on the side. not, as is generally supposed,
on the back. The shark, judi ging by an
European palate, is not good eating the
fins and tail are very glutinous, and are por-
tions most relished by the seamen, and,
when dried, they form an article of COM
merce to excellent aphrodsiac. have seen
several sharks and bonetos about the ship at
the same time, but never saw the former
attempt to modest the latter. The shark is
eaten eagerly by the natives of the Polyne-
sian islands, and | have often seen them
feasting on it in raw state, when they so
gorge themselves as to occasion vomiting.
1t is not an unfrequent source of illness
among these islanders, and they suffer so
much in consequence, as 10 lead them TO
suppose that their dissolution is nigh, but
they cannot be persuaded that the eating of
raw fish is the cause. An emetc soon re-
moves the symptoms by removing the cause,
and the sufferer considers the cure as al
most miraculous. Attending the shark, is
seen that beautiful little fish the gasteroste-
Gus doctor, or pilot fish, who, first approach
ing the bait, returns, as if 10 give notice
when, Immediately after. the shark ap-
proaches and seizes it. lisa curious cir
cumstance that this elegant little fish is
seen in attendance only upon the shark.
After the shark is hooked. the pilot fish still
swims about, and for some time after he has
been hauled on deck they then swim very
near the surface of the water, and at that
time | have seen them taken by basket
from the chains of the ship When the
shark has been hooked and afterwards es-
capes, he generally returns and renews the
attack with increased ferocity, irritated,
perhaps, by the wound he has received.

CHOLERA. DR.. Gilkrest, inspector General
of Hospitals in London, in a letter to the edit
or ofthe "Times,' states the remarkable fact,
that within his knowledge, from the 18th OF
January, the commencement of the epidemic,
until the 3lst of August, with but two excep
lions, no male between l2 and "a, and no fe.
male from l2 to II years, have been attacked
by cholera. He further states, tha the most
singular effects have resulted from the free use
of cold water internally in the worst stages OF
the disease" 1t forces the discharge of bile,
and soon after the pulse becomes more percep-
tible, and gradual return of warmth with an
amelioration OF all bad symptoms, follow"
The most enormous quantities of water have
been drank by single patient under the direc
ton Of the physicians of the Cholera Hospitals,
varying from 30 TO 40 pints and upwards in "a
hours. In addition the doctor remarks, that
until production of bile, the secretion of which
is suspended during the course of tho disease
II is advisable to encourage the irretabiity of
the stomach by preparation, of which salt forms
the basis, and to which, in some cases stimu.
lants have been added.-Neao York Courier.

From the Columbia Gazette.

Some time ago we met with the following art
Gle, which may not be considered very nal-apro
pose at present.
southampton, in England is situated on naui
gable river of the same name, by which it com
munlcates with the ocean. During tho rage for
canal navigation, the good citizens thought it in
dispensable that there should be Canal from their
city running parallel with the river. This circum-
stance was the origin of the following leu d'esprit:
"Southampton's wise sons thought the river so
large
Though twould carry ship, 'twouldnt carry a
barge;
a remedy soon their sage noodles supplied,
For they cut a snug ditch to run close by its
side
Like the man who, contriving a hole thro his
wall
10 admit his two cats, the one great, tother
small
When great hole he'd cut for great puss to qo
thro',
Had little hole cut for the little cat too"

DIR. M'Lean, who is well known TO our fellow CT.
tixens called upon us yesterday with a pamphlet,
tho contents of which he was greatly DESTROYS of
placing before the public as possible, and
which in consequence, he took to tho Evening
Post to be published last evening, but it probably
was received too late for insertion. 1t appears by
the report ola Committee of emnont Physicians
sent from Edinburgh to Sunderland, to investigate
the character of the Cholera and also by the disco
veries of the justly celebrated DR.. ABERCROM-
BE that the Cholera is entirely toithin the con-
troll OF medicine AND EASILY CURED, if its premonio-
ry symptoms are observed They say that no case
of Cholera has cvcr occurred so far as they have
been able to ascertain, which has not been preceded
by 6ussing in the and Looseness of the bo,c-
els, and that a powerful cathartic taken at this
stage OF the disease, is CERTAIN AND INr,I.IInLE
CURE. LII these symptoms are not attended to, and
the remedy applied, them and only, does tho disease
become in measure ncurable.
LII this DO so, and we disposed to believe it.

The anxious enquiries of some unprooided friends
during the recent indisposition of Mir, reminds
us of the following anecdote:
The aged and respectable Bishop of Durham
whose See is the most lucrative in England, had
been for some time ndisposed. Among the daily
enquiries respecting his Lordship's health no one
was more punctual than the Bishop of Exeter and
the invalid seemed to fancy that other motives be-
sides anxious kindness might contribute to his soil
citude. One morning he ordered the messenger to
be shewn into his room, and thus addressed him
.'Be so good as to present my compliments to tho
Lord Bishop, ard tell him am better, much BET
ter, but that the Bishop of Winchester has got a
sore throat and bad cold, if that wiU do."eCoL

Of that class,
