HERoISM OF Dog IN THE CRIMEA-Tbe fol.
lowing account of the exploits of dog in the Cri-
inca, which is translated from the Gazette Of
Trieste surpasses everything heretofore recorded
OF the devotion and bravery of this noble animal:
a great sensation has been caused in tho camp
of the allies by the heroic deeds of a dog belonging,
to Col Netmann of the 73d regiment Of the Line
On the 10th OF August. during the battle OF the
Tchernaya, the quadruped broke his chain, fought
IN the ranks of the army, saved the life of ser
gean and soldier, and took three Russians priso-
nerS ball struck his foot, but the wound only
ennhtered tho animal the more. He threw him
self upon Russian officer, flung him to the ground
and dragged him prisoner, by his coat collar to the
French. A physician has bound up the wound
and tho fourtooted hero is convaescing He will
probably receive some mark of honor as another
dog IN the English army has been rewarded with a
medal for his devotion to his master"
