4 Doc Surgeon.

From the Washington, Del, Commercial.
One Of the most remarkable instances
OF sagacity and animal reasoning-for
it is more than instinct-that we have
ever yet heard of took place yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Whitfield
Crawford, southeast corner of Seventh
and Madison streets, in this city. The
principal actors in the case were q
large dog, belonging to Mr.. Crawford,
Of the ST. Bernardine and New Found
land breed, about 2 years Old, who
readily answers to the name of Carlo
and an ordinary domestic house cat
named "Dick." Between the two a
q strong feeling Of friendship has
always existed, each sharing the
others meals, and at night, Dick, APP
preciating a soft bed, always found it
by lying upon the top Of his good
natured friend Carlo. On Wednesday
last, on MIR. Crawford's return from
market. he cut a piece of fresh meat
into small pieces for Dick, but acct
IDENTIFY needle and thread lying close
by got mixed up with the meat. This
poor Dick swallowed, or attempted to
swallow with the meat, but not sue
ceeding, the needle stuck in his throat,
from which cause he suffered intensely
and in his sufferings he had the entire
sympathies of his friend Carlo. Like
a skillful physician, Carlo set about
discovering the seat of the disease,
which he found existed in Dicks neck.
After an apparent consultation between
the two, one as patient, the other as
a doctor, Carlo commenced operations
by licking Dicks neck, the cat holding
it's head to one side to give Carlo a
fair chance. The licking operation
continued all day on Thursday and a
intervals through the night, Carlo
occasionally pausing to press his
tongue against the neck of his feline
friend, as if trying to force some sharp
pointed instrument on the inside
through the cats neck to the outside.
Yesterday the same operation was con-
tinued by Carlo until 10 o'clock, when
he was seen with his whole body quiv-
ering with excitement, trying to catch
something with his teeth, in which he
succeeded, and giving a sudden jerk
he pulled the needle through the hide
of the cat, where it hung by the thread
which still held it from the inside.
The remainder of the operation was
performed by daughter of Mr.. Craw-
ford, who pulled the thread through
and stuck the needle in the fence.
The JOY Of Carlo knew no bounds, and
frisking his bushy tail about and rub
bling his shaggy sides against his mas
ter, he showed his full knowledge Of
what he had done by going to the cat
and licking the wound in the neck, and
then to the needle in the fence, which
he examined very infinitely, saying
in action almost as plain as words ::
"See what I did" A son of Mr.. Craw-
ford, coming home from his labor, was
met by Carlo, who turned and ran to
where the needle was, smelling it, as
if to explain the case more fully to
the new conner. We need only say
that those who doubt the truth of this
statement shall call at the place des-
ignated. where the dog, the cat, the
needle, and the wound in the cats neck
can all be seen. The dog himself will
point out the needle, and give evidence
Of the truth Of the foregoing facts as
narrated.

RELIGIOUS TROUBLES IN BRAZIL.

A Brazilian letter says ID Rio Grande
do Sui an instruction exists, owing to
fanaticism Of a sect among the German
colonists Of st. Leopolds, concern
ing a man named Mauerer, who pro
fesses to be prophet. His wife
Jacoba is supposed by his votaries to
be the savior of the world, and his
uncle is the apostle Of Judas, who
sacrifices himself to bring about Bible
prophecies in relation to the death of
Christ. The turbulence and fanaticism
of this sect had arrested Mauerer, his
wife and uncle. After the release of
Mauerer the house Of a seceder from the
sectwas attacked and burned, afterwhich
the wife and children were shot, the
man being absent When the police
appeared they found Mauerer and his
sectarians, some three hundred,
strongly entrenched in a mid forest set
Element, and although force Of regu-
lars were brought up, the soldiers were
repulsed with five killed and thirty five
wounded. At last dates, troops and
national guards were being collected,
and cannon were bombarding the
position. It is said that the revolters
have massacred thirteen families of Sc
ceders and lukewarm sectarians.

WHY RECALLED,

The Freeman's Journal makes the
assertion that Admiral Polo, late Span
ish minister at Washington, was recall
ed because he refused to sanction the
transfer of Porto Rico island to Ger
many in return for help to put down
the Carlist insurrection and the rebel
lion in Cuba. The Journal publishes
documents, and says Admiral Polo will
not say there is oneword mistranslated.

THE WESTERN FRONTIER,

Acknowledgement Williams of the
United States has received a COM
munication from Gov. Cooke, of Texas,
in answer to one addressed to him
touching his order to Capt. Benaird,
commanding a company of minute men,
requiring him, when in close pursuit of
Indian marauders or cattle thieves, to
recover the property taken by them
from citizens of Texas, and to cross the
Rio Grande, if necessary, into Texas.
The Governor represents that constant
depredations are made by the Indians
from Mexico upon the people of Mexico;
that many persons are murdered by
them, and great quantities of property
are stolen and carried away; that the
forces of the United States stationed
along the frontier are totally inadequate
to protect the people, and that it is alb
solutely necessary for their representation
that they should protect themselves.
This communication gives full details
of the condition of affairs on the Rio
Grande
