The MAD sroNE-A caapr for Dog Fanciers.- -
we found, aday or two ago, in Macon paper, .
Statement for the curious,p which we laid aside
tor publication; but some friend more curious
than polite, has removed it, and we depend upon
memory for the facts which we annex: M
Maj. Wilks, of Georgia, (for whose veracity the
paper above mentioned vouches) states that some
years since he killed deer, and subsequently, cut
up the haslet for his hounds. While doing 20, he
found embedded between the wind pipe and lights,
substance resembling green, porous stone.-
Attracted BY the novelty of the circumstance, he
iaid the stone away, as a curiosity. After this,
hvorite hound was bitten by rattlesnake,
while hunting. Maj. w. Immediately forced q
quantity oftobacco into the dogs throat and then
took him home, where he gave him a solution of
alum. At this time 1t occurred to him that he had
heard there was, in possession of some person in
Virginia, maidstone, which corresponded, In des.
cription with that he found in the stomach of The
| deer. Without delay he brought out the stone
which he had laid away, and applied it to the affect
| cd part. Immediately quantity of green matter
eozed from the wound and at the same time the
dog commenced vomiting, and never felt any far
| ther Inconvenience from the bite of the snake.
MAJ. Witks does not pretend to say whether 1t
was the tobacco, the alum or the stone that cured
the dog. Heis certain he was cured, and his state
ment is submitted for the consideration of those
who are not 80 dogged to refuse to admit another
dogma within the pale of materia medica. For
ourselves, WEI only tell the tale as We read it, be.
leving it to be In wise cur tailed of its propor.
TONS and fully convinced that no more appropriate
| reading could be furnished for the dog days. :
