While travelling In 1787, through the beautiful city of Leipzig, I observed, about half a league from the gate of the'(own; a few rods’ from the highway, n wheel, and the bones of a chained corpse exposed to (he gate of every passer. The following is the history of that criminal, as 1 learned it from tholips of the judge who conducted the trial, and condemned him to bo broken alive^ • A (German batcher being benighted In (ho midst ■of a forest, lost his way, and while endeavoring' to gain the road was attacked by three highwaymen, lie was on horseback and occompanicd by a large dog*-.Ono-ofilho robbers seized < the horse by the bridle, while the two- other* ■ drugged the butcher from his fiddle, and foiled i him. . The dog leaped immediately upon one of them,and-strangled him; but the other wounded (he,-animal so.severely that he rushed intd'thd.wpods tailoring the most fearful howls. Thp |)utohor,.who by this time had disun* gaged himself from the grasp of Old second rubber, drew his knlfo and killed hfm. But at the same mobidrit ho robetved a-sliot from Itio third, ho whu liad just' wounded the dog,and falling, was despatch, 'ed by the thief, who found upon him a largo sum of gold.fc silver watch and a few other articles of value. He plundered the corpse, leaped upon the hofso and ed; ’ ' The nstl morning (wo wood' cutters 'Happening fn that path, were surprised to find three dead bodies mnd a large dog. who seemed (o be guarding.them. They examined them «nd endeavored to restore life; but-in vain., ■, Ono of them dressed the,wounds of .the dog, him eomo food, and sought some water for him while ibo other hastened to the nearest: village to inform the magistrate of tho.discovcry. The officer, accom,- panied by several attendants, was soon on the epol; a surgeon examined the wounds of the three bodies; they drew tip a Verbal process’and interred them. The dog had dragged himself, in the course of the night, when 1 allwao'quiet, to the corpse of hjs master, where ho-wis faond thb nett morning., lie allowed his now ft-lcnds tb dross his wounds, as If forsccing that ho must consent to live that ho might one day ayenge.lhc, murdered, ho ato and drank, but would not leuvo tho spot. Ile'looked on quietly as (hoy dug the grave, and allowed them lo.liury the bodies; but as aoon ns the tart* was rcplatetl, lie stretched himself upon it, howl ed moui'nfuily, and resisted all efforts ol the byalon •ders to Induce him to move, llesnnppcd at all who «ame near him, except the woodman who had tended him. lie bore his eatresses; but no sooner did the mart attempMO take his paws to remove him from the graVo than ho gnashed his teeth and would have wouhdod liim severely if ho had not quickly fled.—• Every one admired the fidelity of the dog. and when the woodman offercd'to carry him food and drink every day, that ho might hot perish, tho mogistrato proposed taking up a collection to remunerate the man, wl)o was poor end .the father of a large family. With difficulty.np was Induced to accept tho money, but ho finally did, and from that moment burdened himself with the care of his novy pensioner., The details of Ihia itorriblo event were published In the principal journals of tho country. J. Moyer, a brother of the, btilphcr, reading sometime after wards the'advertisement bflho magistrate, hastened instantly to his presetted saying ho had fears which ho ’believed now only twd (veil founded,-ihal bis brother had fallen into the hands of robbers, na he had left homo with ■ large suhl bf gold W *ho pur chose of beeves, and had nut hoard from. H«s picions wore only too aadly confirmed when the uiaffikirete related to him tho conduct ;of a dog which be described., M. Moyer, accompanied bjMfto officer and several others, repaired to tho grave. As soon «■ the dog perceived his mtsfoiV brother, he horylcd, lapped his hands, end evinced oilier numerous de monstrations of joy. Dy difibront parts of his drosb, M. Moyer rccogunlted the body of his brother when they disinterred it. Tho absence of tho gold and Iho watch* tho wounds of tho butcher «nd his dog, those oflho,lwo other, bodies, together,with the dis appearance oTtho horse, .convinced Iho magistrate and tho lhal the deceased had not only been assailed by (he two, but «!*»» by one or snvorftl others, wild had fled With tl|6 Horse and plunder. Having obtained permission; M. Meyer removed bis brother’s corpse to hla hatlve Village and inter, •red Uin the adjoining cemetery.

Ho was Immediately arrested, and led with M. Meyer and the dog, then carefully bound, before the judge, who hardly know what to think of bo extra ordinary an affair. Meyer related all that had happened two years before, and insisted upon’the imprisonment of tho. man, declaring that ho was tho murdcrcrof his brother, for his dog could not bo do* ceivcd. , During all this llmo it was almost Impossible to hold the animal, who seemed determined to attack the ' prisoner. Upon interrogating tho, latter, the judge was not satisfied with his replies, and ordered him to be searched. There was found apon hlm a large sum in gold, jewels, and 5 watches, four gold* while (ho fifth was an old silver oho, of but little con' sequence. As soon as Meyer saw tho last ho de clared it to be.the same his brother wore the day he toft homo, and the description of Ills watch,'published months previously, corroborated his assertions.)
