learn them Git out" begone"" here! here! and
"slck! sick sack " and there their education stops, but
l would judge that the length Of time it takes them
to learn this much is so very short, we cou1 teach
them great deal more, if we were to try.
l will here give you an account of dog that was
once acquainted with He lived for several years in
the town of Carksvlle Tennessee, and almost every
cit izen of the place acquainted with him.
He made his appear ance on entering the toEn, at

vice he earned his supper.

piisd for the invention without avail The fire msslves,
forty Or fifty in number, enclosed in SHE'LL which
is itself enclosed in OF the ordinary shells Of the

By the way, we may state just here, that Mr.. Shorts
wonderful invention is sheer humbug: 1t consists Of
Il number Of tin tubes, half inch in diam
eler, and about three inches in length, charged with
black compound resembling mixture of powder and
tar number OF these put into the shells and the
vacant space filled with powder. We saw number of
these shells explode among the buildings at Fort john
and again in the city, bnt with the exception OF
setting fire to pile of straw in the latter place. which
any common shell! would have done, there igni-
ton when they exploded. Beside the gas emitted in
the explosion, which is most viainous 10 the ofacto
