90 again on similar errands. Spring, the other
dog, is a short legged hafterrier be possesses
memory and the reflective powers in great
degree: A lady about half mile distant from
his masters house, being very fond of animals,
always paid great attention to Spring. when
he was on visit with his master OF mistress
Finding this very agreeable, be took it into his
head to pay his visits alone. Without any
tuition, he raised himself on his hind legs ana
attempted to ring the bell, but all efforts could
only produce ajarripg of the wires. Beng an
unusual sound; the servant within sight OF the
bell below, went to the street door to ascertain
the cause, and Spring rushed in. After that
as his visits were generally at the same hour,
the rastling of the bell wire was the signal for
the dogs adlnittance. He paid these visits
for several years. and was always received
with great kindness. About two years ago;
on entering the house, he, found the family
carresing beautiful little Italian greyhound;
and although they paid Spring the same atten;;
tion as formerly, he showed bis displeasure at
the intrusion Of the new favorite, by growing
and keeping at q distance. He would neither
take the cake nor sugar that was offered him,
but went away sulkiy, and never returned by
himself ! N. Y. Minor. .

HORRIBLE MURDERS.


The following particulars, which we extract
from the Batesvlle News, were written by q
gentleman Of Washington county, to a friend
in Batesvite. /,
1.-THE most horrible murder ever perpetrated
in a Christian Country, was committed last
Saturday night at Cante Hill, on Mr.. William
Wright and four of his children. Mrs. " right
states that soon after retiring to bed, she heard
the sound of horsemen approaching the house.
Her timidity, suggested the apprehension that
they might be hostile Indians. She awoke
her husband, and communicated her fears,
and both rose. Mrs. Wright, through crack
in the door, discovered three men walk up to
the door. One asked if they could stay all
night. Mr. Wright replied yes, and opened
the door. The robbers at that instant seized
and stabbed him to death. A daughter (per'
baps the eldest) rushed out by the assass'ns
while vet butchering her father. Mr.. Wright
being despatc he'd, the 6ends commenced
slauehtering his defenceless children. They
struck out the brains OF little infant on the
floor, and ran their bowie knives thro' the
tender bodies OF three other children as they
reposed in the embraces ofsweet sleep. The
fourth little boy of some ten or twelve years,
with long heavy blade, the demons at a blow
separated tho crown from the mass of his head
striking him into insensibility, but not into
death as they supposed Fortunately two 9TH
or children sleeping in another apartment were
not discovered afso little Morris escaped their
observation. This little child, of the tender
ag,, of six or seven years only, had been placed
at .s.e back side Of trunnel bed thus hiding
