RExARKABLE CASE OF CANINE Cha.
RAcTER.-In the month Of August last
boy about II years Of age. the son Of one
OF our citizens, was visiting 10 the coun.
try. As he was crossing field dog
pursued him as al intruder upon hls
masters premises. and the boy being
alarmed ran for some distance. the dog
chasing and barking fiercely. Al length
as the dog was within few feet Of him The
boy stumbled add fell down and broke he
leg. The poor fellow was Of course ter.
ribIy alarmed. the dog still barking at him
as he lay helpless Of his feet. But The
instant The dog perceived tina, the child
was hnri. he returned towards his mas.
ier's honse, and by his voice and actions
CONVINCED the family that something was
wrong. Finally. afler having tried in
van To quiet the dog, they followed him
"a; "a. -.s..-- s-,."a the child crying for help,
bnt ai such distance from any house thai
he could never have made himself heard.
Had il not been f"r the kindness Of the
dog, his enemy! the hoy would have faint.
ed there. or would have attempted to
crawl away, in which case he would
doubtless have destroyed his limb.
The remarkable feature in this ease is,
that The disposition of The dog was so sud.
denly changed. We often read Of dogs
making similar efforts 10 save the live Of
their masters or children TO whom they
are attached, but This is the only instance
we have ever met with. where brute ex.
erciscd wha, may be called. without ire
verence, the christian principle of kind
ness to fallen enemy. In this respect
The dog was much more of a man than
many in this world who walk upright.

From THE WEsT.-A letter in the
Western Mo- Exposi,or. dated at wes..
port, October /, contains the following
notice Of terrible mortality prevailing
among the Rau Indians, whom the wri.
ter had visited To pay their annuity:
ION our arrival we found them in a
most dePlorable situation, having lost in
the last two weeks some sixiy-eight Of
their men and women; and, as the Indi-
ans informed us, perhaps tina, number Of
young--they did not pretend to connt in
ianis. The air was perfectly putrid, as
they bury their dead at the top Of the
ground--only laying few sod or loose
stone on the top. Bathing seems to be
the principal remedy. They further in
formed us that their horses were all dying,
having lost great many. .s
