DT fttRB.O. A. SOULE.
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. The- faithful dog
folluwfcd the body; but by degress became attached

moments they thought Meyers himself mad, and ho
bad great/, tii&enlly in those "who had
bound the creature was not in
llio least dangerous, rind bbggod ‘earnestly of them
to release‘him, that ho might pursue llio assassin.—
He spoke, in so'convincing a Wanner that his hear
ers finally felt pursuadedoftho troth of Ilia assertion?;
and,restored'the dog to his freedom, who joyously
bounded to hie master, leaped ab'oul him ft few times
opd then hastened away. 1
• Redivided tho crowd and was Soon dpq ß hi's.bno
my’s track. .The police, which on those occasions,
ib very active and prompt/ woro, Immediately In.
formed,of this extraordinary event, and a flUinbor of
odicers word soon, in pursuit. The dog bocatno in
a few momenta the object of public,, curiosity, and
every one drew, back to.give him rdora, Business
was .suspended, and crowds ; collected In gronpes
conversing of nothing but the dog, and the murder
which had been committed two years before.
After a half hour's expectation, if gehbral* rush
indicated (hat the search, was over. The man had
stretched himself upon the ground, under llio heavy
folds of a double tent, and believed hjihsolf hidden.—•
Butin spile of his. fapCiod security the aVcng[6r.had
attaciod him, am| leaping. upon, bimbo bit liitn, lore
his garments, and yvould have killed him upon tho
spot, had not, assistance rushed to his rescuo.
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.) Tho
robber never'dared expose it, for fear that It would
lead to his detection, as ho was well aware that it
, had been described very minutely in alt tho principal
journals in Germany.
In short, after tho most mibnlO-and conviclivo
legal proceedings of eight months, (he murderer was
1 condemned to be brokcn.aUvo, rind 'his'corpse to re.
main chained Upon llio wheel af an oxatnpjd to others.
. On the night proceeding his execution, ho confessed
among other crimes, what till then he alwoya denied,
, that hC was the murderer of Meyer's brother. He
i gave them alt the details above related, and declared
i (hat ho always believed that tho cursed dog died of
- wounds ’Had it not been for him,*.ho repeated'sev.
I era! times, 1 should not have been' hero. Nothing
; else could have discovered mo, for I had killed the
; horse buried him with alt that he wore.*
lie expired on'the 1 wheel, and his'was the corpse
which 1 beheld before entering (he city of Leipzig.

Singular Arrest or a Thief,’ and RccoverT

notified accordingly. The bait took. Gqdard,
being unable to negotiate the more valuable Uocu

The. Author of the Ralltoad System*
Thomas Gray was born Id Leeds, iEngland*
about half a century, or more, ago—and this Is all
we know bf his early history. The Middletown
colliery had a railway to carry coal tb Leeds, a
distance qf three miles. The cars moved along
at tho rate of three and a half roiled an hour, h
was laughed at—not by Gray, but by the wisp
public. Gray saw in this little work something
thrit might be'aogmonted into grhatness; and he
thought upon subject*—and forthwith became
a visionary. He Talked Pnd wrote upon his pro
ject of f*A Gcneraf Iron Railway." The people
declared him insane. He petitioned Parliament,
sought interviews with Ihb Lords and other great
men, and tbos became, the laughing stock of oil
England. He received nothing tint rebuffs wher
ever. he wont. All this took place in TB2O, or
thereabouts. But hesucceeded at last. Thorail-,
ways were,laid. The world was benefited by (ho
madness of Thomas Gray. Well, what became
of him ? the reader will ask. We do not know;
but we believe he Still lives, in Exeter, to which
fdace he removed. Up to 1846 he had been neg
ected. While thousands have been enriched by
the consummation of his brilliant scheme, ho re
mained forgotten—forced by poverty to sell glass
on commission, for a living.
