-dnOthsr Tesadrk0ble Case of Cani;se CSorGc- ter'-ln the month of August last, says the New. ark Adv' boy of about years of age, the son of one of our citizens, was visiting in the country: 1 "As he was crossing field dog nnr.ued hin, as an intruder upon his masters premises. and inc boy, being alarmed, ra0 for some distance the dor chasing and barking fercely. At length, as ths dog was within few feet of him, the boy stumbled and fell down bank and broke his leg. The poor fellow was of course terribly alarmed the dog stiFl barking at him as he lay helpless at his feet But the instant he perceived the boy was hurt. he re. turned towards his masters house, and by his voice and actions convinced the family that something was wrong. Finally. .after having tried in vain to quiet the dog, they followed him, till they found the child crying for help, but at such distance from any house that he could never have made himself heard. Had it not been for the kindness of the dog, his enemy! the boy would have tainted | there, or would have attempted to crawl away. in which case he would, doubtless have destroyed his limb.
 The remarkable feature in this case is. that tha disposition of the dog was 30 suddenly changed-- We often read of dogs making similar efforts 10 save the lives fther masters or children to whom they are attached. but this is the only instance we have ever met with, where brute exercised what may be called, without irreverence, the christian principle" of kindness to fallen enemy. In this respect, the dog was much haoye of man thah many in this world who walk upright"
 Serious .A6aiction of James C. Brnev.-Tha Detroit Advertiser ''learns from Saginaw that MT. BIRNEYs illness has been and still is of a very se. rious character. He experienced q succession of paralytic attacks something in the nature ofpar. alysis, which have materially affected his organs of speech. Whenever he becomes at all animated in conversation or rapid in utterance. it is with diffi- culty that he can be understood Unless he should obtain relief soon. his career as public man would seem to have closed. His general health is good We have not abated one jot or little of our opposition to his course in the late presidential lection, but lament as sincerely as his warmlest supporters the calamity which has apparently pros- trated his powers" :. ..
