Aiagura Democrat.
Original Anecdote 01'a Dog. Two near
neighbours in the country, a firmer and a
tanner, entertained a pvat friendship for
each other. Tite tanner had a I ir^e yard
do;;, which, for some unknown cause, conceivcd
such an inveterate haired to the farmer,
that lie could not with sale \ visit his
friend when the dot; was loose, and on this
account the tanner loaded the animal with a
heavy clog, that he might no; be able to llv
a: 'he farmer.
As the farmer and one of ids piougiunen
were going about the grounds logo her one
day,taey perceiml the dog apparently in
great clis ress an 1 pain, lying near a fence.
As they approached, t!iev found that in at1
'Minting to jump tin.* Ienc?*. he had left the
clog on the other side, the weight of which
o O
had almost strangled him.
The ploughman, knowing the enmity
which the dog bore to his employer, proposed
to knock him on the heal: hut the firmer
was unwilling to kill a creature which ,
he know was useful and valuable to his friend,
and instead of hurting him, he disengaged
the poor bins'. mid laid hmi down upon the
grass, watched him till ho saw him nearly
recovered, and then pursued his way.
When he returned to the spot, he saw the
dog still there, quite recovered, and, as usual,
cwp'-cted an attack, but. to his great aston
ishrnent, the creature fawned upon him. mid !
expressed his gratitude iti the most lively '
manner, and from that time o the day of his I
death, attended the firmer, and could never
be prevailed upon to return to his former
master.

Sagacity of Uecs ?The instinctive sa- 1
gaoiiv of the honcv-bce every farmer lias had
* r i
occasion'10 no ice. A curious instance of*
contrivance of means, and success of ultimate
ends, be. ween I wo swarms, was seen
in this town last lid!. A farmer, while passing
an open lot in the centre of the 'own, !
no.iced a continued line of bees passing
through the air, from one farm house to ,
another. He followed the advance line
and came to its termination, where lie ibund '
a hive that had been assailed by two foreign
swarms, the one lie had followed, and (
nnother diverging off in nearly an opposite
direction. P?v some instinctive understand
ing between tlie two swarms. t'ioy bad united
theirs rengthand simultaneously attacked
the hive; the struggle was tb?u over;
and the dead and dying bees bi .mging to
if, lay scattered around the hive.?The honey
had been taken out the by tiie conquerors,
who were then carrying it to their own >
hives, something like fifty pounds having
Ikjch removed in less than twenty-four hours.
It was plain to discover that a coalition had
been formed between the two swarms, to .1
attack aud destroy the other, and afterwards
to appropriate the honey to their own use. !1
All this was done, but how a understanding
was ettecied, or the stipulations were drawn 1
up, we leave for the naturalist and curious :

" This process, of course, unavoidably i

next was a dead man. "1 had hold of him,"
said lie, "by the nose, and 1 did hut turn his
head very gently to use the razor, when lie.
without breathing or a sigli, wen* off."
Abcrncthy turned to the young students,
and toid them this was a case for s udy. saying,
there was aenuso lor die man's death:

suddenly deprived him of his lil'e."
One of the s udenls said. "I think a vertrebai

turned his head to shave him, a splinter
penetrated the spinal chord.*'
"You have i cried Aberncthy, "turn
him up, and we will see."
Tiiey immediately cut down the back,
and disc >venal a small piece of fractured
bone, not bigger than half a pin. which had
penetrated the spine; then taking the corpse
by the nose, they observed ns they turned
the head one way the splinter came out,
am! ns thev turned it the otber.it entered
tlie vital chord. The proi?!cm of his death
was at once solved, and i learned how Ii;11 e
it took to stop the great machine of life i:i
man.
There is also another mode of loosing
!:fe in a very simple way, which I became
acquainted with in consequence of an accident.
A man was found in a field quite
dead, with a hay ibrk or prong by the side
of .him : he was opened, but no probable
cause of his sudden death could be discovered.
At length one of the surgeons sent
for the fork, in consequence of a witness !
saying that it was only a few minutes before
bis death that be saw the deceased '
leaning upon it with the points upwards, as
lie was standing in the field. Chi the point'
of one prong of the fork was discovered ;
something like a small speck ; hut no wound .
could be fouii'l upon the cciv s The surgeon
now pushed back the corner of the'
nov? tiin mw.'i mill then declared that he
I '.\t 111c ?IV^,
had discovered the manner of the man's;
death: namely, that while leaning on the
fork he had slipped, and the point of it had
entered the eye under the nose, and produccd
ins ant d"a;h. ' For,'" added he. "we
all know in this manner we may he killed '
wi ll a pin or needle, without having any
external wound sons to indicate the cause.
He ( he surgeon) then explained to the '
persons present, that this peculiarly vulner- ;
able part, could not be reached, excepting J
only by the means above described; that is.
putting the instrument used sideways into ;
the corner of the eye, and then immediately
direct it in a straight forward manner, sous
to penetrate in a diree ion towards the brain,
under the upward part of the nasal bone.
Such an operation, be saiperformed with
the smallest needle, produced instantaneous 1
death."

ardent love of liberty impelled him to es- j1

most in all measures and enterprises of 1
ic importance and utility. In the recent I est
