CAPTAIN GREGG AND HIS DOG. When very young, I took much delight in reading an anecdote, in the, American Preceptor, of a dog who saved his master's life; and one of the earliest efforts of my i i . . l :

mpMu M-ln rMvl lonniiuni"

lines: "My dog-, the trustiest of hi kind, With gratitude inflames my mind; I mark hit true and faithful way, And in my servise copy Tray." 1 after life I heard -it told, with many z tional and interesting particulars, by thJate General Dearborn; a man whose life would form half the history of his country, and whose memory was an inexhausted fund of anecdote. 4,I was1' said he, personally acquainted with Captain Gregg, and have seen the valuable dog to which he owed his life. Soon after the British and Indians, under General St. Leger, raised theseigeoffort Schuyler, so bravely defended by General Gainsvoort,Captaiu Gregg, of the NewYork line, obtained permission to hunt, accompanied by a brother officer. They were .successful in the expedition,

and were returning with a load of fresh j

provision of which the fort had been along time destitute, when they were suddenly tired upon by an ambush of Indians. Both the onVers fell ; and the Indians coming up knocked (hern down with a tomahawk

and scalped them, as their manner i, when they have timr, frem the forehead

to the back ol the neck; leaving only a couple of small locks of hair at the side of

the ears.

Captain Gregg wore a cue by mcansof

which they tookoU'lhe scalp, after having passed the knifcentirely around the head.

n describing the operation he said ltfeltas

if molten lead wen: poured upon him.

et he had the hardihood to be perfectly

still, suppressing even his breath, lest his erwmicsshould discover thai life was in

him; and the Indians, very naturally supposing their cruel work had been fatal, departed. After lying iniuiuation some time, he felt his burrdA.vJrrl. touched gently and tenderly j arid jje.lmediately conjeetu red it was his favorite dog, which had accompanied him to tlwf chase, and run away at t he first approach oT the Indians.

"Never," siiid he, "shall I forget how!'

MllMIl mu com tongue ot me i.iiiniul creature felt at that dreadful moment." Supposing by the fearlessness of the nnimal, that the Indians had gone, he raised

'ing his waistcoat, belaid his throbing head

upon his sott, warm bosom; tor the sticks

and stones among which he lay were

torture to him. But he wa not forsaken in this trying

hour; his faithful dog had not forgotten him! The officers of Fort' Schuvler had

already begun to entertain fears for the safety ofthe hunters, and wore anxiously oa the lookout for their return, when

Tray1' was seen issuing from the wood

pa: ting with eagerness and latigue.

"They are coining, for there is the dog'."

was the universal exclam ation. But their i iii i

anxious eyes were nont lowarus the wood in vain; their friends did not appear; and

the spaniel by whining, crouching, going to and fro, looking up in the most suppli-

catingmanner, plainly indicated that some accident had bef.ilirn them. A detach

ment was immediately order to fellow him. With unerring instinct the faithful

creature guided I hem to the scere we have just described; ever and anon returning from a rapid race to reproach their unavoidable d ;hy. The dying was found resting on the bosom ofthe deadone was commit ted to the earth, and the other, under the care of the surgeon, borne carefully to the fort. Eight weeks after this, during which tim"? the capture of B u govne had taken place, General, then Colon 1 Dearborn re

turned from the scenes of Saratoga to Al

bany, where he heard tne story, just as we have related it,fioui the lips oi'Capt. Gregg. The dog in the meanwhile sat gravely at his side, looking wistfully in his face, as if conscious that lie eras the lieroof the tale.. "Well," said Col. Dearborn, "I suppose you cannot be induced to

part witu him," "No, replied the oiiicer, "not till pt rt with life: no h ill never

want for a frie al, till niv bones areinthe dust," The dog wagged his tail, put his paw upon his" masters foot, and nestled close to his side. Mass Journal.
