?earful ^ragped/-A Man Killed by a Dog. Oa yesterday wo came into possession of the particulars of a most singular pud fearful trsgody, which recently occurred in one of th%. mountain counties of this Stato. The gentleman from whom wo received our infor mation, has requested us to give noithor the Dame of tho oounty in whioh tho horrible aoooe took pluoo, nor tho names of tho actors in it j in tl?o first place, because tho families of the parties are among tho best and most reepeotablo in tho county, and should not be subjected to this additionn? m ti fica t ion f t an act whioh they can, in no manner, bo hold responsible; and, in the Second place, be* cause publicity would now, iu no way, sub serve tho onds of justice, as tho guilty party has alroady expiated hie crime by so fearful a punishment. Wo will only prcfaoo our ac count of the matter by stating that our infor mation was derived from a well-known and highly esteouied gentloman of this city, and may bo safely relied upon as perfectly correct in every particular. In one of tho mountain counties of Georgia thore lives two families, oach before tho war noted for its wealth and refinement. Since tho war the families (whom wo ehall cali ro pootively B. and L.) though thoy hnd, like ..nearly evory one else, lost everything by the conflict, still retained the high position in so ciety whioh thoy had for somo long timo filled. One of thorn, tho L.'s, lost several of its mem bers, as well as its fortuno by the war, and at tho commencement of our story consisted of Mr. L., agontlomau of fifty-fivo yoars of ago, his wifo, nearly tho same ago, and nn unmar ried daughter of about twenty five. In about a quarter of a mile from thoir houso lived one of the li.'s, a young man, who had recently married a very beautiful young lady of tho county, and having loft tho paternal mansion was farming by himself ou a small tract of ground. Tho two families lived somo dis tance from tho county town, in a sparsely in habited section of country, and being each the nearest ueighbor of tho other, were, of course, on torms of great intimacy. Between tho young wifo nud tho daughter of ?Mr. L. a fast friendship was sjoo formed, being nearly the same ago and of similar tastes and dispo tion, and relying upon each other for compa ny in the daily absence of tho two gentlemen, who*wero engaged iu superinteudiug the bus iness of thoir farms. iflj A fow days pinco Mr. II. informed his wifo that ho had received a letter whioh would oompol immediato attendance in Atlanta, where bo would have to remain for several ?oi^-wd as it would be inconvenient for him she slmula^llfj^^ city, advised that with her during his abseooo^^t?? .8t;ly morning he set out in his buggy;for AtlanVC and b|a wife during the morning went over to ?jbdSgfrien? to stay with hor. When sho arrived there sho told the young lady of the nbsenoe of her husband; representing how lonely sho would fiud her houso at night from the faot that she employed no house servant, and her cook, together with tho few luborers employed on the farm, slept nt tho " negro quarter," nearly half a mile from the dwell ing house, and ended by asking Miss L. to spend tho nights with her until her husband returned. The young lady, after consulta tion with her mother, readily assented to tho proposition, and promised to come over during the afternoon. Ilnvitlg accomplished hor pur poso and feeling very niu?h relieved in mind, Mrs. B. returned homo and spent the day performing the usual household duties. When the morning had passed away and tho after noon oame, and then tho sun set without bringing her friend, sho felt no alarm, but thought that tho latter had decided not to como until aftor tea, when her father, nevose the field, whioh separated tho two houses, Would esoort her. Accordingly tho evening meal was eaton, household affairs arranged and the cook dismissed for tho night to her distant cabin at tho " quarter." About o o'clock Mrs. B. began to feel a little uneasy, as Miss L. had not yet como, when a servant ?ame up to tho houso and brought a noto from her expected friond, stating that sho would be unable to spond tho night with her, as sho had promised, for her father, from somo oauso or other, bad positively refused to givo his consent to tho orrnngomont. Aftor deliver ing the note tho servant took his d^parturo? and tho bravo woman prepared to spor?d tho night by horeelf. Feeling that ehe had a pro teotor in a large and very fiorco ynrd-dog bo longing to her husband, sho took him into her bedroom, and aftor scouring tho houso, lay down and resigned herself to sleep. ' About twelve o'<;look ubo was awafccc? from her slumbers by a noiso in the houso and tho 'Angry growling of tho dog, and discovered that tho hall door had been forced and that some one was standing nt hor room door seek ing an entrance. Speaking as loudly as her fright would let her Mrs. asked, " Who is thcro ?" A man's voice whioh sho did not recognize, replied by tolling her to open "the tloor." Again she asked tho samo question and again received the same reply, the etran - ger oddiuA?tliat If ehe refused h* would of of toi II th. tin tin pr< it mc far nff< frit mn wh Wll win far mej trim tin pa yo to pr th nil op bl Tl g? th ra wi th bi ar dc eh of t? door dc lown/' During this dialogue tho dog, still growling, crouched up on the fioor as if ready to spring. Thinking to Intimidate the mon, who sought her ruin, Mrs. B. oriod to him that if he forced tho , door ?ho would shoot hlni Laughing scorn fitly, the rnfflan threw his weight ngoiiisl tho light door, bursi it opon and entered tho j^ifo^wnoo, quiok as thought, tho envage dog epranji forward and fastened ori bis nook. *Phi ihftii astonished at thi*> sudden attack, to kill tho dog wHLv * Wfo wbjoh nt cc th en ca bi th se ht re m cl oi w' m or ril on tic ha Oi ex TI no wo 00 ont op; by the wo noe pic oft Eu all the Upe WI ale ne\ oro ?jai ho had jw lie hand, but uusuooossfully", anc the powerful animal dragged him to th< grouud, still retaining hie hold upon Iiis throat, Stunnod at first by this unlooked for deliver aneo, the womnu, in few, seoon.de, regutuod her presence of mind somewhat, ran./progni ing from tho house, never stopjr'og until sho arrived at tho place of ffto' L.'s, whore her cries soon aroused tho family lier tale was rapidly told, rind tho sorvants were preparing to go tho sceno of danger, when suddenly Mr. L. was missed, and his wife, almost on tho instant, as if struck by sudden presenti nenfc, soroatuod " Merciful God I it must be :ny husband !" With a cry of horror the party set forth, and ran as fust to tho houso of Mrs. R as the latter had run away from it fow minutes before Arrived there they found tho man still on tho floor, and tho dng itili grasping his throat. Boating him away rom his proy thoy found tho suspicions of Vir?. L but too correot ; it was her husband ?but tho teeth of tho dog had douo their fork, and he was dead. It appears that he had returned to his home kt fivo o'clock tho previous ovening, aud maring of tho departure of R., and tho inten tan of his daughter to spend tho night with he young wifo, ho positively refused to al ow her to do so, assigning some frivolous auso for the refusal. That nrght ho loft tomo, saying that ho was going to set up all ight with a sick neighbor, who lived some : liles distant. It is supposed that ho con- ' ealod himso'f in tho woods until midnight, 1 nd then, influcnoed by unholy lust, forced ' u entrance into tho houso of R., to violato io person of tho wifo of tho latter. When 10 case bccanio known the most intonso ex * lenient provuilod in the county, and had uot * rovidenco punished the oriminal ho would * robably have been hung to ilio nearest tree a y tho enraged populace. 11 [Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel. a Effect of Kindness to Animali', t "I have great faith," says a correspondent fi tho .Practical l'armer, "in the education g animals."

Rus- fi i, Austria, Prussia, aro all so much bont on rrying out domestic reforms, that nothing tl it tho direst necessity will allow them to g ink of war. Tho nmioablo and satifactory ai ttlem'ont of tho Franco-Belgian difficulty a is romoved the only cause of war whioh was ally alarming. Tho present reform movo ont in Franco has assumed that partioular r< laractcr whioh, to say tho least, ronder? for gn war oxtromely improbable. Tho gamo b hieb Napoloon now has in hand is inuoh u ore importont than tho humbling of Prussia o tho acquisition of a few squro milos of ter- e tory. It is a fact uot without dcefj signifi- u ncc that, simultaneously with the inauguro- w m of swoeping and rodioat roforms, Napoleon b s t iken stops to reduco tho effective strength u tho armv.
