A Dog Express.

Daniel Henshaw, Esq, recently read a very in
terestng paper on Statistics and Anecdotes Of
Travels'' before the New England Historical and
Genealogical Society, which has since been printed
in the Boston Gazette. He states that before the
establishment of stage lines, people were some
times greatly perplexed for means of transmitting
messages and letters Of Importance. On one such
occasion, the following very ingenious and extra
ordinary mode was adopted with entire success
A family living over fifty miles from Boston, who
had removed from there few years BEFORE taking
with them their favorite dog, Rover had several
times made their annual visit there, always accom-
panied by the same faithful animal. The necessity
of sending letter to Boston, had now become
urgent in the extreme and indispensahly necessary,
yet there seemed no possible way OF transmitting
it but by procuring some one to go On express,
which at that time was next to impossible. While
| they were deeply perplexed in contriying ways
and means, some one said, perhaps more u Jest
| than in earnest, send Royer.n Now Rover had
| proved himself on many occasions intelligent
and faithful beyond others of his race, and the idea
took at once. 1t was decided at any rate to try
the experiment of sending Rover az bearer of dis
patches, provided he could be induced to under
take SO ardueus and hazardous mission.
The letter was accordingly prepared. and while
they were fastening it around his neck, the old
dog would roll up his eyes in deep thought, as II
pondering on the magnitude and the responsibility
of his charge, while he seemed TO say" under
stand the business perfectly but dislike the under
taxing, anu must DeR 10 Dc eAEusGu.a AltH WnHu
the crisis came, he did beg and plead most pite-
ously. But after pointing to the east, the com
mand was peremptory-s'Go'i-and away he went
in good earnest not the DID, cireuitous travelled
road, but hee-line, across lots, determined to
make short work Of it, and probably not stopping
for refreshmeut till he had reached his place Of
destination, which little before daylight the
next morning. There were two houses in Bos-
ton not far apart, where the old dog felt equally
at home.
He gave notice at first by bowling and scratch
ing at the door: but the family not understanding
the purport of SO unreasonable call, refused to
respond, and he soon repaired to the other, where
tile surprise and establishment at seeing The old
dog with his message was indeseribabe. He was
welcomed and greeted with as much joy and glad
ness Us if he old, intimate friend, just re-
turned from long and dangerous sea voyage.
He was, indeed, an old friend, the representative
of long absent friends at distance, and bringing
glad tidings from afar. The fame of this achieve
ment soon spread among the friends and through
the neighborhood, and Rover became the lion Of
the day.
This is believed to be the only instance where a
quadruped has ever acted as bearer of dispatches
post, for carrying letters alone, and SO great

GEN. WALKERS EXPEDITION. - We yesterday
saw gentleman from Honduras who was present
when Walker evacuated Truxilio 1t appears that
the British man-of.war Icarus entered that port
and demanded that the revenues should be, as
they had for some time been, devoted to the pay
ment Of a British debt Walker positively refused
this, and was in consequence obliged to evacuate
the fort. He could have sunk the British vessel
with the heavy guns of the fort, and would have
done so, we are informed, but for the interposi-
ton of some of his more prudent officers. Col.
Henry died in the hospital shortly before Walker
left the town, of wound received in street affray
soon after Truxillio was taken. Walker is now at
a place on the coast called Limas, with about so
or 100 men, and TREY will probably not be again
intertered with by the British. Of course they can
deal with any number of greasers' that can be
brought against them, and reinforcements are now
on the way to join them.

THE Cross IN JAPAS.--ln 1854 the Russian frig-

relic. He knew little of its import, beyond the
fact that lis possession dangerous and that its
original possessors had fallen under the dsplens-
ure of the Emperor.
He attached to il some vague feeling OF being
committed by its possession to the faith it indi-
Gated. All he knew of that was that he must not
worship idols and he could speak the names of
Jesus and Mary. The Russian insignia of the
Greek cross had emboldened him thus to declare

fuiness with which the old deere had been exc

they been, 50 impossible had it been either openly
or secretly to preserve the rites of the prescribed
religion, that its memory had faded out 10 the last

story of the Diana's midnight visitor ever reach
Japanese ears, | am glad to say that he is secure
