In support of this opinion, it is all ged, that the operation is pel farmed at the ime that timber -Vill season the soonest beeorr.?9 harder and firmer, in consequence

! Dr. Von IfU nid, in his writings, relates ! a wry ? xs raondinary ease of the -agat :t) of a N-w uj dl-md dog. The Doctor obUerves. "While in practice at Quebec, a j large dog, blee ding pit.fusely from the right leg, attracted the attention of one of my students; by stroking the dog on the j head and ba fc, ho was conxed into the surgery, where, on examination, 1 fou .d an artery and the tendons completely di vided. I ordered the poor animal to be ! thmly secured, by which means a htiga I lure was applied to the bleeding vessel, j and after shaving the hair surrounding the ! wound, I. carefully applied adhesive plasteis, and brought its edges together (leaving a small aperture for the ligature,) , covered with a linen bandage. A.Ter the

I one ration, he was set at liberty; but to my j i griMt surprise, the following morning the: ! d;g was one of my ear!iet patient tl e ; bondage appeared to be undisturbed; 1. ' ! however, removed it for the purpose of ex j amining the state of the wouj d, and as j j the strips of plasters se med to be in the I : adhcnv.ve state I had roplird th" day be-! I fore, thev were allowed to remait . On !

the third day about the same hour, the; sagat ious animal made his appearance ; he was then of course considered by mt as ; ati out-door patient, incognita, nd itnpati-;

e-ntly (by hi? gestures) waited his turn to

me t fhe atttnticn of my assistants lo drts ; anew his wourds. to which he most gen'ly j i submitted, licking duiingtbe vraole tim I of the operation, the hands of the operator, i ! He continued punctually to visit my sue- , gory ever) morning at the same hour until i J cured, w hich I believe was not less than j i bitt en days. I f und scmotirne after that the dog belonged to a respectable butcher ! n St. John's auhurbs: and to prove th j gratitude, of that anim.ii I rnut say, th.-t

very time I had oc-' asion to pass his master's house, it" was impossible- to avoid 1 theYxtremo care? s and fondness which he displayed by his ah rt gestures anu jumping, and even following me. throughout my visits to ail fhe patients I then had under my care in both subnrbs, and then following until he saw me saft-ly in my own lodgn g, when he immediately de-

J parted fer h.s master's heme: and what is

more extraoi inary, all the enticing resort t d to by the students and myself, never c ould prevail upon the dog to enter the

surgery after he was dismissed as cured.
