The dog It-oped immediately upon one of ihcin am! Nlraiiglod him but the other wounded (lie auimnl eo acvorely tliat he rushed into ihe lliickvt, Tuiteriog ihe most fearful howls. The butcher, who by this time had disengaged himself frotn the grasp of ihe second robber, drew lus knife and killed him, Llut ihe same moment he reeeived a shot from the third, he who had just wounded tho dog, and falling, •was dpsjiniuhod by the thief who found u»* on him a large »um in gold, a silver tvaieb and ft few other trticte* of valuo. Ho plundered tho corpse, leaped upon the hor»e tend fled.

The next morning two wood cutler*, happening in thi}l path, were surprised to And three dead bod ion. and a dog, who seemed to be guarding litem. They examined them and endeavored to restore life but in vain. One of them ti rented the wounds of the deg, gavo him «M»e foot^ and sought aorne water forjitm, while the other hastened to tb» neareet village to inform the mag* iatrute of his discovery.

The dog had Uraged himself tn tlte course of the night, when all wa* qatet, to the corpse of his master where he was found the next morning. He allowed Hi* Ifienda to droa* his wounds, and as if foreseeing that he might one day revenge the murder, be \te and drank but would not leave the #pot.

Having obtained pernatsnion. Mr. Meyer removed his brother's corpse to his native villay« and interred him in Ihe adjdiaing cemetry. The laithful dog followed the body but by degrees Jtecame attached to bis new master.

Every eflWt was made by the most diligent search and the ofier of immense rewards to discover the culprits. But in vain the horrible tragedy remained an enigma.

Two years had passed away, when Mr. M. received a letter urging him to repair without delay to Leipzig to close the eyes of his maternal uncle, who desired to see bim before he died. He immediately hastened thither, accompanied by his brother's dog, who was bis companion at all times, lie arrived too late. His relative had deceased ihe previous evening, bequeathing him a large fortune. He iound the city crowded, it being the season of tho great fair held regularly there twice a year.

While one day on the public square, at tended as usual by his dog, he was astoiwy1 inhed Co behold the animal rush forwaraTtl like a flash, lie dashed though the crowd and leaped furiously upon an elegantly dressed young man, who was seated in the center of t?4s squate, upon an elevated platform erected for tho use of those spectators who desired more conveniently to witness the shows. He held him by the throat with so firm a grasp that he would soon iiave strangled him, had not aid been in stantly rendered They immmediately chained tho dog thinking of course he mu4t be mod. aud strove to kill him- Mr. Meyer rushed though the crowd, errived in lime to rescue bis faithful friend (Jailing eagerly in the meantime upon the bystanders to arrest the man, for ho believed the dog recognized in him the murderer of his brother.

Before he hod time to explain himself the young man profiting by the tumult escaped. For some

mometitN

they thought Mey-

or himself W«H mad. and he had great difficulty in persuading those who had hound his dog that the faithful creature was not in the toast dangerous, end begged earnestly to them to release liini that he might pursue the assassin.

He spoke in so convincing a manner.that hi* hearers finatly felt persuaded of the truth of his assertions, and restored-tho dog his freedom, who joyously bounded to his master, leaped about lum a few tunes and hsMtvned away. lie divided the crowd and Whs soon upon the enemy's track. The police, which on these ocesious i* very active and prompt, were immediately informed of thin extraordinary event, and a number of oflloars were soon in pursuit. The dog became in a few moments tae object of public curiosity, and every one drew back to allow him room. Business was suspended, and the crowd collected in groups, conversing of nought but the dog and the murder that had been committed two years before. \fter. lulf un hour's expectation a gener-i al rush indicated that the search was over, he main had stretched himself on the ground, under the heavy folds of a tent and believed himself hidden. But in spite ol hisaccurtty, his avenger h»d tracked him

and leaping upon him he bit hiui, tore his garments and would have killed Him on the spot, had not Ihe assistants rushed to the rescue. t^le was immediately arrested and led with Mr. Meyer and the dog, then carefully bound, before the judjfu, who hardly knew what to think of so extraordinary an affair. Meyer related all that had happened two years before, and insisted upon the imprisonment of the man, declaring that ha was the murderer of his brother, lor his dog could not be deceived. During all the time it was almost tmpossible to hold the animal, who seemed determined to attack the prisouer. Upon interrogating the latter, the judgt was wot satisfied with his replies and ordered him to be searched. There was found upon him a sum in gold, some jewels and five watches, four of them gold and very valuable, while the fifth was an old one ol belittle consequence. As soon as Meyer saw the last he declared it to be the same that his brother wore the day he left home, and the description of his watch published months previously, corroborated his assertions. The robber hadtjever dared to expose it Cor fear that it would load to his detection, as he was well aware that it had beoti described very minutely in ajU^ the principal journals in Germany. 2|''

Several years since, there resided in ihe town of W (Mass.) two very worthy maiden ladies, having a sister supposed to be in a deep consumption, living in the Staje of Pennsylvania. One day a letter was Ypceived by these ladies from a friend, at whoso house their sister was visiting. The Rev. Dr. was immediately sent for, to sympathise and condole with them on the death of "Sitter Mary." The next Sabbath the hereit^ed pair made thoir appearance at church, clad in habiliments of woe, their faces expressing deep and heartfelt grief, as the clergyman gave out that ••members oT that congregation desired prnvers. that the death of an absent shtfr might ho sancufud unto them for their spiritual good," ect. A funeral sermon was preached, in which the speaker descanted upon the many virtues of Ihe deceased, and entreated his hearers to take the solemn lesson to heart, as they too might soon be called from earth, and perhaps without that preparation for the great change which he trusted their departed sister had experienced. On the following week.' "calls of condolence" were received from friends of the lamily among others, Dr. who wished to learn the particulars .relating to the death of one whom be had known so well. ••lleally," said one of the sisters, in reply lo his question, "we were so much affected on learning the sad news that we did not conclude tho letter, nor have we felt like looking at it since.

When Mr. Moody—Handkerchief Moody —was on a journey in the western part of Mjissachusets. he called on a brother in the ministry, on Saturday, to spimd the Sabbath if i.^eeable. The old man appeared aery glad to see him, and said: »I should be very glad to have yon slop acd preach for me to-morrow, but I feel ashamed to ask you:* •Why, what is the matter,' said Mr. Moody. 'Why our people have got into such a habit of^oleg out before meeting is closed that it seems to he an imposition on a stranger. ft* *lfthatis ttH. flrtiist and "WTll stop and preach foryoa.* was Mr. Moody's reply.

When the Sabbath day came, and Mr. Moody, bad opened the meeting and named the text, he looked around on the assembly and said: 'My hearers. I am going to speak to two kinds of folks to-day saints and sinners.— Sinners, I am going to give you your portion first, and I wouhT have you give good attention.

When he had preached to them as long as he thought best, tie paused and said: 'There sinners, I have done with ydif how you may take your hats and go out of the meeting house as soon as you please.'."

One day the luminary of the west, Henry Clay, was passing along the Avenue, and seeing the boys intent on worrying Billy into a lever, he stopped, and with characteristic humanity, expostulated with them on their cruelty.

The boys listened in silent awe to the eloquent oppeal of the great statesman, but ii was all Cherokee to Billy who—the ungrateful scamp—arose majestically on all the applications, .his- ihinder legs, nnd made a desperate plunge at his advocate. mm-

Incident of Revolaiioaary UUtory. The following interesting narrative is given by Miss Lynch in connection with the presentation of a petition for relief in the House of Representatives. The petitioner waa named William H. Wisgi

In 1780, ^han South Carolina was almost overrun by the British aod Tories, and th« safety of Charleston was seriously menaced. Gov. Ruiledge. who exercised, as Common-der-in-Chiaf, dictatorial power, with a wisdom and justice never surpassed, iasaed a proclamation calling on her citizens to rally to the defence of their metropolis^^-Xt thx invocation thousands of her sons r&shod to the rescue. But after a gallant resistance, want and starvation compelled capital** lion. Among the prisoners was the gr»0dlather ol the petitioner, who at various times during the struggle had served wnh gallantry and distinction in the cause of his country. both in South Carolina and the aeige.'of Savannah, in Georgia.

rf.

The prisoners were placed ofi their parole, and under the article of capitulation, whilst ihey abstained from any infraction of iis terms, their property was to be exempt from injury or confiscation.

About this time the cetebmed execution of Major Andre took place, under the stern and inflexible sense of justice Washington.

As soon as the execution of Andre took place, Lord Rawdoti determined to.execute the first oflicer of his rank which the British madq, prisoner. Under the capitulation ol Charleston, the gallant and unfortunate Ilsyne was a prisoner, and was the selected victim of retaliation, lie wos the uncle of the llayne who, as the champion ofthe South in his memorable contest with Mr. Webster, acquired a renown 4itt1e inferior to that of his great antagonist

It seems, when brought out for execution, Major Wigg, the grandfather of the petitioner, stood at the foot of his gallows, and indicated a grief ho could not conceal, and an indignation he could not suppress.

Poor llayne met his fate with tho heroUm which marked the conduct of Andre. Major Wigg attended to receive his remains.— llayne and himself, bosom friends, had marri^*d sisters, lltiyne'a execution dialed a great sensation, not only in South Carolina, but throughout the Continent—«» young and beautiful widow in despair, a large circle of bereaved friends, and the glorious promise of one of the finest men South Carolina ever produced, nipped in the bud.

Immediately after this blood-thirsty execution, Gen. Greene openly announced that tho first British oflicer of llayue's rank who was taken prisoner should, in retaliation for the execution of llayne, poy tho forfeit of his life.

No sooner was this annunciation rhado than Col. Balfour, who commanded llio British fbroes in occupation of Charleston, ordered forty of the most distinguished citizens of South Carolina, then prisoners of war under parole, in close confinement on board of the prison ship sloop of war Pack Horse, and distinctly notified thenl that they were hostages, that in case of the execution of one of his majesty's subjects, or

the

perpetration of any acts of barbarity toward ihe Loyalists of South Carolina, they should awing. You may well suppose What an excitement this produced in that colony nor was the deep sympathy felt for the prisoners in any degree diminished by the lt»ct, that in reply to this threat they addressed 0 letter to Gen. Greene, then Commander-in Chief in Soutli Carolina, earnestly soliciting him not for one instant to pause in executing a just act of retaliation for the murder ol llayne, as they were prepared to meet their fate, and

regretted that they could

not retider a rndfe signal service in the cause of their country In the**then state Sf public feeling in South C'aroliMa, Col. Ballour. probably ap prehending that the Pack Horse would be carried by a night attack and tha prisoners rescued, ordered her around to New York On her voyage when o^Cape Fear, tho prisoners rose, and, by an oct of valor un surpassed in naval annals, captured tho Pack Horse, and carried her into Beaufort, North Carqjina, by which.in regaining their liberty, they terminated their ciiaractcl and gervice as hostages.

It was during his confinemen (that the estate of the grandfather of the petitioner was devastated, who was regarded as a leading spirit among the prisoners# and probably wrote the letter lo Gea. Greene, which with his kno#n cdnnecilom with the deceased Haynevmarked bim as an object of vengeance. An expedition was fitted out fr jm Charleston, which sailed eround to 0'Aetiy river, one of the streams of the Southern borders of that State, landed at the plantation of the petitioner, abducted^about one ,h#yred of his slave*, aeized 'his crop, cattle, stock, and every species of moveable property on the plantation, and what was not susceptible of removal was wantonly destroyed. His slaves were carried to St. Augustioe, Florida, and in Ihe end were lost to the owner. In this expidition Major Wigg's was the only plantation ravaged. It contended, nut only on every principle of justice, but by well-recognized rules in the law of nations as applicable to hostage, the Government of tiro t/niied Slates is bound to make compensation. The former explicitly predict* thai where an enemy inflagrantebello devastate* life property of a hostage during the time he is held as such, bis country is bound to indemnify him fafly for his loss, as by their act he was placed iosucb a situation as lobe incapable of protecting it by bis presence aod exer tions.
