PERlLOrS AND DARING FEAT.

The Atlanta, Ga, Constitution,
details the following perllous feat:
''On the 18th ultimo, two fox dogs
belonging to Mr.. Knight, Gwinnett
county, ran n fox to Stone Mountain.
While near the old tower the latter
disappeared from view. Later in
the day the parties living near what
is called the steep side were startled
at the barking aud bowling Of dogs,
and after looking closely, could SEQ
them about two-thirds Of the way
up, apparently Oh a crag jutting out
from the perpendicular wall. One
nf them who was considerably below
the other was seen to fall and roll
over several times but succeeded in
rcsaining Il foot-hold. The dogs
stayed there till "Wednesday. noon.
Several gentlemen went TO tho top
Of the mountain to sec il means
could not be devised to rescue tho
dogs. By means of y rope tied to
Il strong cedar, the party reached a
! point nearly five hundred feet from
the site OF tile tower-a point never
reached before, we believe. Here
the rope was fastened to another
cedar. and Fernando L. Julian, jun,
declared his willingness TO make tho
perilous descent. lie pulled of his
boots and walked down holding Oh
the rope for several hundred feet.
"Ata distance Of about six hum
drrd feet he found the first dog and
soon had the animal savely landed.
At point of seven hundred and fifty
feet from the tree, on bench in tho
rock wall. several feet III lcugth, and
on. or two in width, he found the
other dog. This one resisted at first
but when he reached place where
he could walk he went cautiously
along, until he got to the top. As
soon as Mr.. Julian got up the dogs
tawncd on him, and jumped In his
lap, and exhibited their gratitude in
an unnistakablc manner. The wind
was very strong at the time. Mr..
Julian acted with great GOODNESS.
His socks was cut by the friction
against the rocks, and he stopped and
| pulled them off. The dogs had worI,
e lor the claws from their hind feet.
IL is supposed that they had reached
the spot from which they were res.

Untouched, unshared by mine?
