Sagacitv or a Newfoundland Dog.? f One of the dog poisoners related to us an incident, yesterday which occurred on the J evening previous, no.ar the corner of Sixth and Plum streets. The prisoner threw down a piece of meat; the dog smelt it, turning it over with his paw, and shaking his head walked away and left it. In a few minutes after a small bow-wow" came along, and took it in his mouth. The large dog ran towards him, and barked and made a terrible fuss, but the little cur swollowed the meat, and in a few minutes he lay dead in the street Tho largo dog is of the Newfoundland species, one that is valued by his owners as being wyrth seventy-five dollars.? Cincin-iti G?zeltt. Waking up a Congregation.?On last Sabbath morning, while the newly installed pastor of the Juno strejt M, E. Church, (Rev. J. R. Wu^cley,) waa preaching n very eloquent sermon on our "National Privileges," ho cbservod some of the elder portion , of his congregation "u tpping," and addressed them in tones of thuuder in tho followiug = manner. "You may wake up when the grave of American liberty is dug and her lunerul ora- f tion has been pronounced! You may wake up when the geuinusof Columbia has taken her flight to some other land! You may wake up when the sun of freedom has gone down and darkness covers our once bright and beautiful country ! Tie careful, or you will wake up when it is too late! too late ! The die is east?the nation is dead?every star in the galaxy of liberty is extinguished . ?and the stirs and stripes that we have looked at with wonder, delight and joy, no longerVvave, but lio torn an 1 rent in pieces! Such is the fato of this nation unless the people wake up to the protection of their 1 rights. The child is listening to my voice | to-day, who unless there is a waking up, | will live to see America wrapped in hrr wind- j ing sheet, and tyrants holding a jubilee I over a falling republic." i 'fCoMING EVE ts cast their shadows , Before."?A little girl, about ten years old _ daughter of-Mr. Oberlnud, a resident of the Eighth ward, as the clock was striking 12 on Saturday noon, exclaimed mournfully to n her mother, 'to-morrow at this hour I shall f l>? in Heaven..' There wa< something so sad e and planitivo in the tone in which she uttered a this, that in spite of the parent not being of v a superstitions nature, it made an imprev- v sion upon her mind, which she found it iin- v " possible to throw ofl*. At dinner she told her sj husband of the circumstance, an I lie endevorcd to rally the child, but with a sweet and sad smile in which, however, no fear was UJ manifested at the coining prospect, she re.a ? > puiucu iiui cuiiuriiuu hi uur sjjei-iiy uissuiution. It was now the father's turn to feel cr a depression of spirits, which overshadowed to him the whole day, so much so, that in the \\ evening meeting officer Young, watchman pr of the ward, ho told him of the child's p'"g- pt nos,icalicn. Up to this time, the litile girl to had enjoyed exceedingly good health, but th daring the night the parents were aroused tin by her eompluining bitterly of pains in her oc back and head.

I*. Raven el illustrating this. . A horse, the property of Mr. F. M. Spurrier, thut hud been placed under the training "' of Mr. Ravanel's ostler, by some accident, resulting, as wo were informed, from his having been very tightly reined up, was pre- I cimitated iu the well to the depth of 60 feet, * The noble annimal lingered about four hours after the fall before it expired. In the attempt to pnll him out, it wan necessary that ^ some one should go down into the well and ^ fasten the rope to him. To this task the ostler himself volunteered. He had scarce- ^ ly reached the bottom, however, before he ^ was deprived of the power of respiration, ^ and was pulled up in an insensible state. ^ Fortunately for him, his legs become securely entangled in the ropes or he would Imve ' J fallen down to the bottom, and must necesif sarily have died, either from the fall or front the poisonous atmosphere. We have not J? the least doubt but that the atmospheric, im- ^ purity was caused by the oxygen in it hav- ^ ing been consumed by the horse?an animal ^ of sufficient size to consume in a short time .f the property (oxygen) in the atmosphere ^ of tbut space capable of supporting life, and generating in its stead the most deadly pol son, carbonic ncid gas. i As? isci wit! suggest the great danger of going down into a pit or well of that depth into which any animal may liuve fallen, ? for the confined air, after being breathed by it would be converted into that destructive j, gas. Whether the imparity existed in the n well before the horse fell 1l, or was pro* w duced as we have suggested, it is singular fj and worthy of notice, t>>Ht although a much tj larger animal, and requiring a greater amount c of air to support animal life, the horse sur- M vived in it three or four hours, when but a 9 minutes presence interrupted respiration ^ and came very near producing death to a ^ man. h ?? ??wm New Poet Or tic*.?A now poet office hoe been retebliahed at McCantavillr, Or- a /uigeburg diatrict, in (hie State, and Robert ^ 8.
