THE MUTE WITNESS,
OR, TIE DOG AND ASSASSIN
BIZ MRS. c. A. soULE.

WHILE travelling In 1851, tnrougn the
beautiful city of Leipzig, observed, about
half . league from the gate OF the town. a
few rods from the highway. a wheel. and
the bones of chained corpse exposed to
the gaze Of every passer.
The following is the history OF that Grim
inai, as | learned il from the lips OF the
Judge who conducted the trial, and con-
demned him to be, broken alive.
Al German butcher being benighted in
the midst Of a forest, lost his way, and
while endeavoring to gain the road was at
tackled by three highwaymen. He was Oh
horseback and accompanied by large
dog. One of the robbers seized the horse
BY the bride, while the two others dragged
the butcher from his saddle and felled him
The dog leaped Immediately upor one OF
them and strangled him; but the other
wounded the animal SO severely that he
rushed into the woods uttering the most
fearful howls. The butcher, who by this
time had disengaged himself from the grasp
Of tho second robDer. drew his knife and
killed him. But at the same moment he
received shot from the third, he who had
Just wounded the dog. and falling, was des-
patched by the thiei, who found upon him
a large sum in gold, silver watch and a
the corpse, leaped upon the horse and
fled.
The next morning two wood cutters hap
psning in that path. were surprised to find
shree dead bodies and large dog who
seemed to be guarding them. They ex-
amined them and endeavored TO restore
life, but in vain.
One Of them dressed the wounds Of the
dog. gave him some food, and sought some
water for him while the other fastened to
tho nearest village to inform the magistrate
Of the discovery. The officer, accompan-
led by several attendants, was soon on the
soot; surgeon examined the wounds ol
the three bodies; they drew up q verbal
PROCESS and inferred them.
The dog had dragged himself. in the
course Of the night. when all was quiet, to
the corpse of his master, where he was
found the next morning. He allowed his
new friends to dress his wound. and as il
foreseeing that he must consent to live that
Ne might one day avenge the murdered
he ate and drank, but would not leave the
spot.
He looked on quietly as they dug the
crave, and allowed them to bury the bod
les: but as soon as the turf v as replaced
he stretched himself upon it. howled
mourniully, and resisted all the efforts o
the bystanders to induce him to move. HI
snapped ii ell who came near him, excep
the woodsnau who had tended him. He
bore his caresses, but no sooner did the

NAVIGATION ON THE AMAzoN.-An en-.
terprise is on foot in New York by an Eas
tern gentleman under the auspices of the
Peruvian Government with view to the
establishment OF system Of navigation on
the Amazon river. Two steamers are in
course Of construction, one of which is OF
the capacity Of 1870 tons the other 80.-
These vessels are expected to be ready for
shipment in about three weeks. They are
so constructed that they can be taken in
pieces and set up at the mouth Of the river.
The Amazon is one of the largest rivers
on the globe and can be navigated for
thousands Of miles. and flows through a
fertile territory. The inducements now
held out and the protection promised by
the Peruvian and neighboring governments
have called into action the enterprise OF
Yankee capitalists. and there can be no
doubt that. with good faith on the part OF
those governments in the execution Of the
treaty stipulations lately entered into for
the encouragement Of the navigation OF
their great river. the speculation will prove
profitable one to the capitalists concern
ed, and beneficial to the South American
States Wheeling Argus.
