SagaoitY of a Dog.

The following instance is related by the
Edinburgh Weekly Register
The animal belonged to celebrated
chemist, who tried upon it the effect of
certain poison, and upon the next day ad-
mlnlstered a counter poison, which had the
effect of preserving the creatures life The
next day another dose was offered him. but
he would not touch it. Different sorts Of
poisonous drugs were presented to him, but
he resUlntely refused them all. Bread was
offered, but he would not toaoh At; milk,
but he would not drink it, To reassure him
his master offered him bread and meat of
which he himself ate in the dogs presence;
and of that the slgacious animal hesitated
not to partake. He was taken to foun-
tain, but be would drink no where but from
the spot where the water gushed free and
fresh. This continued for several days,
until the master touched by the extraordi-
nary intelligence of the poor creature, re-
solved to make no more attempts on him
with the poisons The dog is now very gay
aud happy, but viii eat nothing that he does
not first see his master touch, nor will he
drink except from the purest spot Of the
