say the officer in command of the garrison,

AS big dogs, whether human or canine,
willsomctimes do when they feel they have
the power-attacked the little dog, without
rhyme or reason, so ferociously, that the
boy was obliged to como to the aid of his
four footed favorite which he did by sto-
ming the large brute SO effectually on the
head as to kill him on the spot The Aus
tran officer, infuriated at this denouement,
had the boy seized and condemned to re-
ceive twenty-five strokes of the bas.inado.
When demonstrated with as to the ability
of the slender youth enduring such a Sc
we're punishment he persisted in his frs, in
ientlon, and on the sentence being carried
into execution the boy expired under the
sevehteenth blow. The boys father, a

who assisted him in his trade, became near
ly distracted at the tell:gence ofhis death,
and next morning rushed FRANTIC into the

breakfasting, plunged stiletto in,ca his

wounds, escaping from the presence of the
Mortified spectators without any one max
