Stories almost innunerable have been
enumerated illustrative of the sagacity
Of the dog and it, attachment to its
owner. A remarkable and we'll suthsa.
ticated instance, which may not be un-
interesting. has just come under my
notice, as having occurred some years
ago in the neighborhood Of Rotterdam.
A person in Rotterdam obtained .
young shepherd dog. which he retained
Tor . long period. While in his possess
ion it became much attached TO the
whole family. and especially to two of
its masters soma. After . time. circum-
stances trsnspsred which led to the
animals being sent to live permanent
ly at the residence ola farmer. After
the lapse Of considerable tina, one of
the sons Of the dogs former master paid
q visit to the farm. The dog. on seeing
him. appeared overjoyed. and Was most
demonstrative in his indications of de-
light. During his stay it would not
leave him; and when it became necessn-
~ for him TO 60 in the evening. the
animal could hardly be restrained. and
had to be chsined up in the room whore
the family were sitting. A. the visitor
wa6 taking leave OF bis host, the poor
animal howled in q most piteous man
ner, and manifested other signs Of
grief. Immediately sfter he had left
the house, the dog al ct once became
quiet. and, settling down on the door.
seemed to be asleep. The strange and
sudden change which had come over
the animal was remarked, and, ON going
to him, he was found to be dead. The
singular occurrence became we'll known
in the neighborhood. and it was regard.
cd that the dog had dad literally heart
broken. When the same dog was only
. puppy, it was attacked and beaten by
. bigger dog. The defeated dog showed
his sagacity. and ct the same time his
revsngeful feelings, by waiting until
eighteen months had passed. when it
had fully grown, aud then he lay in
wait for his old adversary, - near as
possible to where the former combat
took place. and gave his enemy 'drub-
bing' that nearly co thin bis life.
