terrier, weighing fifteen pounds, be-
longing to the editor Of the Savannah
Republican, while in the Office of a
cotton merchant, the other day, smelt
a rat, aud soon forced the avarmintn'

bluff, four stories high, or about sixty
feet from the ground, and jumped out,
followed by the dog. They both
reached the ground side by side, at
the same Instant, having just missed
lalighting on a big nigger's Uranium.
Ere the rat could recover from the
effects Of the jump, he felt himself in
the jaws Of the terrier, with bis spi-
nal bones considerably dislocated.-
IlThe terrier did not seem at all hurt
by such q tremendous leap, and he is
now more assiduons than ever in bis
