EXTRAORDINARY SAGACITY OF A DOG.
On Saturday boy ~ or IA years of age,
who was climbing on the face of rock
in the Grange quarry, Edlnburg, in search
of Birds nests, fell into the deep pool below.
His companions ran away, calling for help,
and a crowd soon collected. A house car
penter who was present, ran off to the
Grange House, for Sir Thomas Lander's
Newfoundland dog. The animal immedi-
ately sprang into the pool, and made for the
place, where the body though under water
was still visible. He diyed once or twice,
and, Selling the boys head, which CHANGED
TO be uppermost, he in vain attempted 10
bring the body ashore; for as if aware of
the necessity of using the most gentle treat
ment to so vulnerable part, he took so
gentle hold, that the head slipped from
him, and the body sunk deeper and deeper
at every successive attempt. Again he
dived, and appeared on the surface raising
the head gently between his forepaws, hut
again it slipped from his grasp, and sunk
deeper than ever. The dog now seemed to
take council with himself; he made one or
two circles over the place where the body had
disappeared, and then dived. He renamed
under water SO long, that the by-standers
began TO entertain considerable fears for
his safety. At length, to the great satisfac-
ton Of those present, he appeared holding
the corpse by the arm, and with his head
thrown aside, so as to keep the head of his
burden clear above the water, and in this
way he bore it to the bank. The body was
Immediately taken to a house, and all exer-
tons and means were used to restore the
body to animation, but in vain. The dog
would not leave the body, but staid by ii
licking the face, and exhibiting his full
share of the sympathy excited by this mel
ancholy catastrophe. There was not tn
slightest scratch on the boys head or face

WHITE TREE ONION. AND PorATo OSIoN.
These are very superior varieties, and Will
probably become the principal ones cultivated.
The white tree onion produces n fine large
bulb, of excellent favor, aud at the same time
cluster Of small sets on he top for the next
years planting. Tins rendering the sowing Of
seed unnecessary. From about sig square rods,
we This summer gathered eight bushels Of fine
large orions, and upwards Of two bushels of
sets for next years planting. These onions
keep remarkably well during the winter, as
ours were exposed to the whole Of last winter 5
frost in a cold garnet, and where they were
frozen as hard stones, without injury. =
When we consider the saving of time and
trouble in raising sells from seed, this variety
will be an acquisition.
The potGto onion is also a most excellent
variety, and superior to all otlNers except the
white tree Its favor is very mild it grows
to n good size and also the time and
labor of raising sets from seed. The onions
are set in the ground in the fall or very early
in the spring, in the same manner as common
onions are planted for iecd. In 4 short time
the onion separates into from five TO fifteen
small bulbs, nearly all of which grow 10 good
sized onions in few wecks-generally grow
ing under ground, in the manner somewhat Of
Irish potatoes, whence the name.
The potato and white tree onions are tit for
use from four TO eight weeks earlier than any
other kind.--4mtrioaa Farmer
