Strange scenes have no power to make me glad;

Il Remarkable Instance OF Canine Sa-
Eacity.

From the Loutsvtle Ledger.
Many marvellous stories OF the aagacity OF
dogs axe told, and some Of them tax credulity
severely. An instance occurred in this city
few days ago that is well worth relating. l. IL
tie black and tan terrier, belonging to Mr.
Newcomb, had followed q membsr Of the
family to the drug store OF Dr. ]. B.
Barnu-n, corner Of Fifth and York streets,
and while on the sidewalk great
over-grown car jumped upon it and broke one OF
it's fore legs. The howls OF agony emitted BY
the poor little fellow attracted the attention OF
Or. Barnum, and at his suggestion the dog WIS
taken into the store, and the doctor proceeded
to set the broken leg and splinter and bands8e
it. The dog resisted the operation with all his
power, and snapped and howled the whole time
The dog WAS taken home, and after sn absence
Of four days returned to the store OF its owr ae.
cord, walked up to Dr.. Barnum, wagging its tau
and whining, and held out the broken leg for the
Doctor r'sinspection. An examination revealed the
fact that the bandaSes and splinters had become
digarranged, and vera evidently causing great
pain: The Doctor rearranged the dressings, sud
the dog hoped away. Every day since then tue
dog comes regularly to the store and holds out
its leg to tha Doctor, as much as to say, 'Loo1t

their death Is attributed solely to the verdigris
from the kettle. One entire family is included
IN the number, and the fifth Is lady who par
took OF the same dinner. Tho cook who pre-
pared the meat IL dying now, and for that reason
no authentic information can be obtained as to
the exact cause of the deaths. Up to the present
time nlne-tenths of the ca es reported have been
negroes or ignorant WhIIes who dwell in the low
portions Of the city, and who indulge freely in
stale vegetables brought By river from New Or
