INDGGS4T1oN OF Mrs. WooLLY.-OF all the truth.
full things Byron ever nut into rbyme nothing was
more truthful or happily expressed than the fact
which he compressed into one simple line of his
"Don Juann-and that is, that -
Hell has fury lsea woman scorned"
This we propose to illustrate, by truthful account
ot the proceedings OF Mrs Woolly, respectable fe
male residing on Common street, nearly opposite the
Charity Hospital Mrs. Woolly is a straight, up
ana down sort OF a female female Of good charac-
tef thongh somewhat eccentric wearing nothing but
half ana walking, as general thing, on all fours
one mas long and respectable pedigree, which finds
ls origin IN the happy British island Of Newfound-
Lahd' 70 pc oFlef, Mrs. "oolly IS canine, and is
as handsome specimen OF a Newfoundland slut as is
to be found in the American Republic. She possesses,
IN addition to her large and pleasing person, all the
natural nobility for which her family is so famous,
and ls or has been the pet if not the BELLE of the
family which acknowledged her as a boarder. A
wagon load q money would hardly buy Mrs Woolly
Of the gentleman who calls her his and has, until
lately, considered her one OF the most brilliant and
pleasant members of household.
What we propose to illustrate in the case of Mrs.
Wooly may rather reflect upon her as member Of
the Newfoundland family; but at the same time it will
show that her race Is more human in feeling and re-
lection than people in general suppose that race to
be- The nobIer qualities OF humanity for which the
Newfoundland dog race IS so celebrated, and their
general abstinence from displays of temper or acts of
inhumanity have led many to believe that they are
peculiarly heavenblessed race of animals intended
by their deathdetyng and tesaving instincts to re-
proach the cowardice, tmtdity and want of feeling
which IS SO largely prevalent in the human race We
cannot begin to remember all the beautiful stories we
have heard and read of the brave and noble acts Of
Newfoundland dogs. Everybody knows what they
are IN their better aspects. But we never before
heard OF any Newfoundland dog acting as Mrs. Wooly
has acted lately and the action Of that respectable
feminine, thoughugy and vicious we assert is an eyi-
dence that Newfoundland dogs are human in more re-
spects than one We should state that the lady dog
goes by the name Of Woolly, aud that we add the
handle OF Mrs to her name as mark of respect
in bringing her before the thousands of polite people
who read the Crescent.
Well, Mrs Woolly being pet, had the run Of the
house IN winch she boarded during thepast summer
