of affection aud recognition, which would

of tlie canine race. The individual III
question was brought up as IA young dog,
became familiar with every person whom
he was in the habit of seeing, and, in par
iicular, followed his master everywhere,
evincing evident chngrin at his absence,
/ obpying his voice, aud showing degree ot
Submission, scarcely differing in any re-
spcci from that OF the most thoroughly do
mes,icntcd dog. His master being Obliged
t. be abseu, for II time, presented hls pet 10
the Mcnngeric du Roi, where The animal
confined IN den, continued drsc0nsolate,
aud would scarcely take his food ai lcnglh,

rushing to his master he threw bis forefcel
on his shoulders, licking his face with every
mark of the most lively joy, and nonacing
his keepers, who offered to remove him,
and towards whom not moment before,
&c had been showing every mark of fond |
ness 4 third separations, however, seemed
10 be too much for this faithful animals
temper; he became gloomy, des?onding
refused ms food, and for long lime his
life appeared ia great danger. HIS henlth,

towards strnugers mnfes,ed the original
