About Dogs.


Few persons are aware Of the value
and variety of dogs, varying, as they
do, in weight from one hundred and
eighty pounds to less than one pound,
and in value from five hundred dollars
to less than nothing. A description of
the different varieties may not be
uninteresting The Siberian blood
hound weighs about one hundred and
sixty pounds, and measures forty inches
in girth, and is worth nearly five hun
dred dollars. The st. Bernard dog,
which is of buff or light red color,
is very large and valuable. The New
foundland dog, when pure, is nearly
black, and its pups are worth from ten
to twenty dollars. The shepherd dog,
or Scotch colly, is wonderful for its pa
tience, fidelity and bravery! 1T is
worth from $50 to 800. The English
mastiff, a good watch dog, is worth
from $15 to $25. OF terriers, the
black and tan is most admired. II
varies in weight from one to twenty.
five pounds, and increases in value as
it decreases in weight. A member of
the bar in this city has one which
weighs less than a pound, and is the
smallest we have ever seen. 1t could
not be bought for $3.50. ...-...
Terriers are often crossed with the
Italian greyhound, producing very
delicate, but extremely useless dog
The Scotch terrier is the hardest of
dogs, is very courageous, and is wortl
from SO to $50. The Scotch deer
hound is the rarcst and most valuable
of hunting dogs. They are very rar
and. are owned principally by the no
bility of England. They are WORT
800 each. The beagle is the smalles
of. the hound kind, of superior seen
and endurance, and is the best sort o
rabbit hunter. English greyhound'
the fleetest of dogs, are worth fror
$25 to 800 each. The Italian grey
hound is merely a parlor dog. TIL
) pure breed is rare and valuable, fin
; one being worth $3.50. .....
) There is great variety of pointer
settlers and spaniels. The Prime
Charles variety is the most valuabl

originated in Japan, where a simila
breed exists. He has round head

Lending to the LOrd--A Good
Story.

.r..rp StOEys
A, good story with good. moral is
never amiss, especially if every one
practices upon the lesson inculcated:
GA poor man who lived near a
worthy deacon occasionally called at
his house for supply of milk. One
morning he came when the family
were at breakfast. The good wife rose
to wait upon him, but the deacon said,
'Wait till after breakfast She did so,
and meantime the deacon made some
inquiries of the man about his family
and circumstances. After family wor-
ship, the deacon invited him to go out
to the barn with HIM. When they
got into the yard, the deacon, pointing
to one of the cows, exclaimed, There
take that COW, and drive hef" home:
The man thanked him heartily for the
cow, and started for home; but thC
deacon was observed TO stand in TIN
attitude Of deep thought until the nlaI
fhad gone some rods. He then looked
up, and called out, a.Hey, bring tina
COW back The man looked aranEd
and the deacoR added, .IIset tbat GOV
come baol2y and oyOu come back, too.
He did'so, and when. he came back in
to the yard again, the deacon said

The Wonderful Spring at Ander-
sOnVille.

Mr.. II. G! drant, who was nom
Der of Battery A, of the Eleventh
Vermont Regiment, and who spent
four. months within the stockade at
Andersonville, gave us history, of the
wonderful spring that burst out there,
that we never fefhember,t have seen
in print. Every one, we presume, is
aware that the pen In which the pris-
Oners were kept, inclosed n swamp
through which ran q sluggish brook,
and from this brook the prisoners re-
ceived their supply of water. This
water was never fit to drink in itsIbest
estate, but in addition to its natural
unfitness, it ran down by theirebel
camp before it entered the stockade,
and received the ;excrement and filth
from that. This, Of course, rendered
it intolerable.. About the middle of
August, 1864, or perhaps a month and
a half after the Vermont boys entered
the stockade, there came one day a
very heavy thunder shower of some
forty. minutes duration. And from
that time a spring of pure water burst
| lOlC llOill lilll LlCtbA biC NAOo'N
line, and flowed in such quantities as
to supply the entire camp of some %,
600 or 10000 prisoners. Some of th'
men looked upon this as a direct in
terposition of God for their salvation
and all thought it very remarkable fO
two reasons: The source from whence
it came, dry, sandy knoll, and tn
purity and quantity of water, it beinl
so unlike all other water in that vicini
ty, even that. found in wells. Thi
spring continued to send forth its pur
fountain during the remainder of tn
time our. prisoners were kept there
, and for aught' our informant knows
does so to this day. Has the day o
miracles passed ?-[Vermont Chron

WEALTH OF FREEDMEN-HEAvY'
INvEsTMENT.-N Notwithstanding the
general impression prevailing as to the
'pecuniary condition of the Freedmen,
it is a we'll established fact that there is
more wealth among them than most
persons would suppose. Forinstance,
we are reliably informed that one
Freedman in Mobile is possessed Of
$40, 1000 to $25, 900. And we have fur
ther knowledge than on Friday last,
four Freedmen purchased the valuable
property on the corner of Royal and
st. Anthony streets, for the sum of
$35, 900, and received q deed for it,
Two others recently purchased real es
tate to the amount of $4,000, and the
deed is ON record. 1t is hoped that
these examples will stimulate the race
to increased industry and economy
