A .SitEPHEitD'tjDoo.-A friend of otir's who owns a hu-frc raiichniHl several hiin drftl hptid of .sheep, is tho fortunate pos sessor of ono oftliehet dogs in this State. Tlio Intelligent creaturo was brought up among the sheep, nourished upon ewe's milk, his whole lifo being pa-ed with tho Hock and devoted to its defence. He has hecn taught to open and shut the fold into which they nro driven at Might, and ho cares for them with sill thoapparent thoughtfiilnessthat a human creature could display. In tho morning, when tlio flock is driven to the field, ho goes with it, selects some commanding place, and watches tho sheep during the whole day, driving up the stragglers, and allowing no ono but thoe with whom ho is acquainted to approach them. Should a owo drop a lamb and pavi on with tho herd with out noticing it, ns sho sometimes will, he has boon known to take care of it. At night he drives the sheep into the pen fasteni the door after him, mid seating himself in their midst, lays there watch ing them all night, Tn tho morning he unfastens the door, drives out his ciiargo to tho pasture, and keeps watch and ward until nigiit comes, in lact, so faithful is ho, that his master.frequcntly absents himself from the ranch, for days together, with perfect reliance upon his dog to find all safe when ho returns, California jmpcr. A Doti's MEMoitv. Tlio memory of dog is quite extraordinary, and only equalled by that of tho elephant. Jtr. Swainsou, in his work on tho instincts of anlmiiN, gives tho following proof of till". I k says that "n spaniel belonging to tho Rev, J I X , being always told that lie must not follow his ma.ter to church, on Sundays, used, on tho.-e days to set oil' long before tho service, and lie concealed under tho hedge, so near tlio church, that at lengtli'tho point was yielded to him." My little parlor dog never offers to go witli me on a Sun day; although on other days ho is per fectly wild to accompany me on my walks. In my younger days I bail a favorite dug which always accompanied mc tochurcli, My mother, seeing that he attracted too much of my attention, ordered tiieservant to shut him up every Sunday morning. This was done once, but never afterward ; for lie concealed hlm-elf early every Sunday morning, , uarty only took III- own dog,sei.ing her and 1 was sure to find him either under i the street. Mr. M'Carthy was there in. v -eat at church, or elo at tlie church foro subjected to a searching ero-t-oxum-do'or.

Iltissell, Ksq., City Judge, etc Aro Dogs Property ? In re tho People vs. Dennis Campbell. This caso camo up this morning, nnd is of great interest to tho owners of that pop ular nnimal, tho dog. In tho March term of this Court, Dennis Campbell was Indicted forsteallnga valuable New foundland dog Worth $.")0, tho property of Gerard S. Underbill. There was not much doubt that Den nis had taken tho Newfoundland, but ho, having gone to a gentleman learned in tho law, was Informed that dogs were not proporty,and that "prigging" them was no oll'ence; so Dennis instructed his legal adviser to put in a demurrer. That instrument was argued before tho Court, and this morning tlio Judge de livered a long, nnd of course elaborate opinion upon tlio question, "Aro dogs property'."' His Honor having made researches into the earliest archives of tho common law of England, was of opinion that in tho good old times dogs wero not property, but by tho march of intellect, their condition had been im proved until a law bad been passed by tho State Legislature of Now-York for tlio protection of domestic animals. This act his Honor thoughtincltided tlie dog ns a domestic animal, and having so construed the statute, ho should givo judgment for the people on the demur rer, and the defendant must plead guil ty or not guilty to the indictment. A Doo Case in Couut. Mr. Koger Prosecutes Mr. Garharty for Stealing. Tlio three justices who preside in Special Sessions wero largely occupied, a few mornings since, in hearing and deter mining tho merits of a complicated dog ca-o, in which James Uogers, of Thirty sixth street, appeared ngninst Michael Garharty, on a cbargo of larceny. Mr. ltogcia sets forth that about six month ago Patrick M'Carthy, acting as ills agent, purchased of Garharty the brutes in question, a "female dog" and puppy, for $ lrr" ; that tho old bruto alone was worth $20, and that tho reason the prisoner soltl out so cheap was that ho then intended to return to Ireland r urtiierinore, that about six weeks ago Garharty, assisted by three men, stole tho animal he had sold, while Itogers and tlio dog were in tlie street, thus se curing botlt the price money and tlio brute. Mr. Itogers, deeming this an un fair proceeding, prosecuted for theft. Having sworn to those facts in Court, lie brought forward Patrick M'Carthy, a retired butcher, who testified that ho bought tho animals in dispute for Mr. Itogers, anil paitl $1 73 for the two, and that Garharty treated in tlio bargain. Mr. Spencer, the prisoner's counsel, set up tho defence that the young bi utconly was soltl, and that tlio maternal brute was lent only for a short time; that Itog ers refused togive her up, and that Gar- py munu wus nm lunui si . uu hus scqiiontly tcstlled that ho had sold six or seven dogs himself ; whereupon Jus tlco Urownell propounded tho following query : "You say, Mr. M'Carthy, that you never bought n dog in your life, but that you have Mild six or seven. Now I want to know where you got thoso dogs you au old thief. Furthermore, that M'Car thy ottered to go with Garharty and help get tho dog, nnd actually did go In com pany with Garharty ami himself, and was present when Garharty took tho dog, It was further proven for tlio de fence that tho prl-oiier was a man .of good character, ami tho Court discharged him. Ho left amid tlie congratulations of his friends. Mr. Itogers, with u gloomy nnd dejected countenance, ex pressed a determination to "put liini through."

A gentleman left lloly- yoko on Friday afternoon for this city in a buggy, taking a favorite dog with him. As they progressed toward Willi- nittiisctt tlie gentleman amused himself by plaguing tlio dog until ho had got tlio animal into a .statoof complete wor ry. Presently tlio gentleman's hat blew oil", and be went back after it, leaving bis horso nnd buggy standing in tho road; then the dog took advantage of liis master's absence to jump into the buggy nnd start the animal, who trotted gaily toward tho river, followed by tho gentleman yelling "whoa," to no pur pose. Ills faithful dog now took a posi tion upon tlio seat, where bo could keei an eye on his master nud another on the steed, to see fair piny In the race. They approached the Connecticut river, into which tlio waggish brute drove, and, keeping bis seat, floated out behind tho hoi'so, who swum, after getting beyond his depth. They were seen, nt this juncture, by persons on tho south shore, who put oil in a boat and got them safely to land the dog in high gleo at his succos-ftil experiment in driving ami then went back after their owner, who will, no doubt, leave that dog be hind tlio next time lie goes torido.

Tho body was cut down after remaining suspended for 20 minutes, nnd wns delivered to tho un dertaker. It was conveyed to tho Cnth olic cemetery and Interred.

Tho prisoner made tho following con fession prior to his execution : " I am twenty-six yenrs of nge, and was born nt Plymouth, In Luzerno coun ty, Pa.; I followed canal business until tho beginning of tho war; had no op portunity for school education or relig ious Instruction ; enlisted in tho army; deserted eight times, nnd was sentenced to ho shot ; at Gettysburg I deserted again; then camo homo; I robbed Rob ert Abbotts, who lives on tho plains, of $700 ; I then robbed n shoo storo at Blindtown." After mentioning a num ber of other robbories ho continued : ' On tlio Hth of April lnt, I went with two others to tho liouso of Mr. Hunger- ford, opened tho door by n secret lntch, and walked to the bed, but I had no pistol ; I told tho old man I wanted his money ; I demanded the key of hu trunk; tho three with mo in tlio menu timo built n firo, nnd cooked suppor; wo only inndc S130 on that operation. (The prisoner hero laughed.) After that wo went to Wyoming county, nnd en tered the liouso of Henry Kllsworth nnd opened tho door nnd went in, but only got $2 oh, yes, and managed to got nil overcoat ; went into nnother liouso with pistol ; tbero wero three of us ; wo went into the bedroom ; there was n mnn nnd his wife there ; I told them to keep quiet ; wo only got n wntch anil chain there. (The prisoner again laugh ed.) We then went to tlio house of iVbraham Ityman, his daughter was In bed ; we searched tho bureau, but found nothing nnd left. (Tho prisoner then made n statement nbout the murder, saying nbout this affair :) This girl, flvo or six years ago, worked in n machlno shop ; I went into tho nrmy ; when I returned I found her destitute, nnd I pnld her bonrd and kept her at a placo called Blindtown ; what sho wanted I provided her with until six or eight months ago ; she wns In the hnbit of seeing other men ; I wns not spnrklng her; I did not enro much for her; on tho morning of the shooting I went tbero before daylight ; opened tho back door and went to sleep ; slept there un til Miller got up, when ho pushed mo nnd snid, 'you devil, you?iro ngnin here.' I then got up and went to Miller's bed ; at eight o'clock Mary Fraco camo to tho house nnd I got up; I jumped up with a knife in tills hand, which I was play ing with ; I stuck the knife in the table, and then put It in my pocket; I toro my coat doing so; Mrs. Miller then offered to mend my coat, In. doing so she found my revolver; I told her to let it alono ; I did not want to injuro this woman, M'Klweo ; my revolver had only three loads in; I pointed it at Miss Fraco in fun ; I did tlio samo to Mrs. M'Kl wee ; I thought the pistol was only half-cocked ; I did not intend to murder her, thinking that tho barrel or tho pistol I snapped was empty ; this is ull I know of tho affair. The richest man of tlie world, It is said, will probably bo tho young Lord Belgrave, the grand-son of tho Marquis, of Westminster, if ho lives to inherit tho property of tlio latter. The present income of tho estate is estimated nt ",- 000 a day; but ten years benco, by tho expiration of numerous long leases at nominal rents it will probably be f 100,- 000. Karl Grosvencr Is tho father of Lord Belgrave and the son of tho Mar quis of Westminister. Lord Belgravo Is now thirteen years of age. The Wisconsin Assembly has passed, by u vote of 0.1 to 2'.', a resolution to sub mit to tlio people tho question of extend ing tho sufl'rttgo to women. There Is a good chance that its Senate will agree to tho resolution, and the question be thu outspread for discussion beforo tho peo ple. Many a person thinks ho is honest becausoho has never cheated. Instead of that, ho is only honest because ho has never been tempted. What tho world calls "Innate goodness" is very often n full stomach, nnd what it terms vlco is quite ns frequently an empty bread-basket.
