They were many and multiform; several being gunshot wounds, of a slightly irrita ting nature, not calculated, unaided, to pro duce death. There was serious dislocation of the caudal vertebrare, and a comp mnd. additional fracture of the osfrmoi is, together with laceration of the pectoral and deltoid muscles.

The deceased was well known in our com munity as a lady of excellent standing, good moral character, and most amiable disposi tion; having movel in the first circles, her loss will be deeply felt by a large and sor rowing circle of friends and relatives among the canine haul lon of Columbia. She was of an affectionate and playful nature, and with the single exception of the tearing of the br—ch—s cited above, which appears to have been rather a demonstration of affection than of hostility, was never known to evince ill will towards her companions, biped or quadruned. A few days previous to her melancholy demise, her likeness was taken for a gentleman friend, by whose kind in dulgence we engrave it for the Spy. -re(' - - -------.7?-r--- rairrn t T ur TUC Dry!: tsin.; Man a Tilbolype by Dellinyei She was a widow, her late husband hav ing found a watery and capacious grave, by a gradual process of se limentary deposit, from the out-let lock, where ho "went in" to the dam, where he was finally lost to human ken. She leaves, to mourn her loss, One male infant. The scene when the tail of the mother's terrible end was com municated to her offspring, was fearfully affecting. Much as we respect private grief, and condemn the unscrupulous heartless ness which drags before an unsympathizing public the sacred emotion of a bruised and mourning spirit, we cannot forbear laying before the readers of the Spy the tear-com pelling sketch, taken by our especially de tailed artist, with much difficulty, from a limited view through a knot-hole in a very high hoard fence, of ~: TUE BEREAVED ORPUAV; Front a drawing taken on the spot, exhibiting the uncontrollable emotion <filial olfrtion.

Any rash Rubgcriptions for the future main tenance and education of the orphan, or in adrance.for the Spy, will be received at this office. P. Since writing the above we have learned that the dug was not murdered, but legitimately slain: having been found run ning at large contrary to the proclamation of the Chief Burgess. When this proclama tion was iqsned, we most heartily approved it, and now consider it a praiseworthy effort on the part of the authorities of the town to keep us free from danger, and torrid the place of a most intolerable nuisance in the shape of countless "curs of low degree," which throng our streets unnecessarily, and to the annoyance of all quiet-loving citizens. We shall consider the .man who banishes from our coinmunity these yelping mon grels,a public benefactor; and if, to sweep the town orthem, it be necessary to de stroy them, we shall not raise a whisper against sending them to the shades; but while have human feelinL', we shall in the name of humanity, decency, and public decorum, with all our energy protest •trurnpet-40ry[ued sgaii34l The dee:, damnation of •theielahitig off?' as practised in ourstreets for the pait week.

Beside cruelty to the animals, there is, in this st!tnotttry destruction, injus tice to the owners, many of whom have valuable dogs which, by a thousand acci dents may escape from confinement, and before they can be reclaimed full a prey to the canine Nimrod-t. We respectfully sug gest to the Borough authorities the adop tion of some plan that will give those who desire it the opportunity of redeeming their favortitcs front destruction, and at the same time free our streets from the disgusting scenes of slaughter of the past few days.

It has been given out in small contracts to men well known fur their activ ity in work of this sort, and will no doubt be completed at an early day. Among the various public improvements which have benefited, or are calculated to benefit, this city, this road yields to none in importance, and we anticipate the happiest consequences front its completion. It opens an avenue in a new direction, and a direc tion in which there is some vitality. New York will soon be twice in the mouths of our citizens to Philadelphia's once, and its great activity and the enterprise of its peo ple cannot but have some influence in this direction. The iron interest of the town look to the road as having an important bearing upon this business. At Rending the valuable beds of hematite or "cold short" ores of Berks and Lehigh counties will meet the Cornwall or "red short" ore of Lebanon county—the union of the two, either in the furnace. or the mixture of the metal pro duced by each, being indispensable to the making of the best iron. The extent to which this business, Which already adds so largely to the prosperity of Rending, will be curried on, can as yet scarcely be imagi ned. A portion of the stock remains to be ta ken, and we hope that our citisens will show their sense of the advantages to lie anticipated from this work, by coming for ward and promptly completing the small balance which remains of the subscription. It is emphatically a Reading enterprise, and our people should feel a city pride in seeing it successful. Every one can do some thing—if it is only a share or two—any who have as yet done nothing can do much more. All should do something, and we hope will.—lleading Journal.

TILE MONKEY AND THE HAWK.—The cook of a French nobleman, whose chateau is in the south of France, had a monkey, which was alloWed the free range of the kitchen, and which was so intelligent that by severe training its natural propensity to mischief had been subdued, and it was even taught to perform certain useful services, such as pluck ing fowls, fur instance, at which it was un commonly expert. One fine morning, a pair of partridges was given to it to pluck. The monkey took them to an open window of the kitchen, which looked directly upon the park and went to work with great (Diligence. Ile soon finished one, which he laid on the outer ledge of the window, and then went quietly On with the other. A hawk, which had been watching his proceedings from a neighboring tree, darted down upon the plucked partridge and in a minute was up in the tree again, greedily devouring his prey. The consternation of the monkey at this untoward adventure may be easilyinnagined. Ile knew he should be severely whipped for losing it, lie bopped about in great distress tier some minutes, when suddenly a bright idea struck him. Seizing the remaining partridge, he went to work with great ener gy, and stripped off the feathers. Ile then laid it on the ledge, just where he had placed the other, and closing one of the shutters, concealed himself behind it. The hawk, which by this time had finished his meal, very soon swooped down upon the partridge, but hardly had his claw touched the bird, when the monkey sprang upon him from behind the shutter. The hawk's head was instantly wrung, and the monkey with a tri umphant chuckle, proceeded to strip off the feathers. This done, he carried the two picked fowls to his master, with a confident and self satisfied air, which seemed to say, "There are two birds, sir; just what you gave me." What the cook said, on finding one 'of the partridges converted. into a hawk, is more than we are able to say. "Jou); PutEstx." IN THE LADIES' CAR.- "John Phocenix," the initnitable wit, thus tells an incident connected with a ride on the New York Central Railroad. He re lates it in a letter to the Knickerbocker Magazine, and puts it un record to serve as a caution to future innocent travelers. He says "I had observed that at each change of cars, and they were frequent, when the general scramble took place, one car was defended from the assault by a stalwart man usually of Irish persuasion, who, deaf to menaces, unsoftened by entreaty, and uncorrupted by bribe•, maintained his post fur the benefit of the ']eddies.' Leddies' car sir, av ye please; forwid car for gintle men without `leddies.' Need I say that this car so reserved was by far the most comfortable of the train, and that with that stern resolve which ever distinguishes me in the discharge of my duty toward myself, I determined to get into it coute qui coute. So when we changed cars at Utica, I rushed forth, and seeing a nice young person, with pretty face, bonnet and shawl, and a large portmanteau, urging her way through the crowd, I stepped up by her side, and with my native grace and gallantry, offered my arm and my assistance. They were grate fully accepted; and proud of success, I ush ered my fair charge up to the platform of the ladies' car. My old enemy was bolding the door. 'ls that your lady, sir?' said le. With an inward apology to Mrs. Phcenix for the great injustice done to her charms by the admission, I replied 'Yes.' Judge of my horror when this low employee of a monopolizing and unaccommodating Rail road Company, addressing my companies; with the tone and manner of an old ac quaintance, said, "Well, Sal, I guess you've done well, bat I don't believe his family wilt think much of the match." A 7'.C..)1. Putnam told a story of an Indian upon Connecticut river, who called at a tavern in in the full of the year, for a dram. The landlord asked him two coppers for it. The next spring happening at the same house, he culled fur another, and had three coppers to pay for it. "How is this, landlord?" says he; "last fall you asked but two coppers fur a glass of rum, now you a•k three." "Oh!" says the landlord, it costs me a good deal to keep rum over winter. It is as expensive to keep a hogshead of rum over winter as a horse." "Ahl" says the Indian, "I can't see through that; he won't eat so much hay; maybe lie drink as much water!

TO THOSE WHO WANT FARMS, A Farrn Within the Reach of Every Man. MANE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has made arrangements by which all who destre to settle or purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of the best limestone soil of the most superior quality for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into which an exten sive emigration is now pouring. The'property is located in Elk Connty, Penna., in the_mbist, of a thriving population of some 10,000. Theeft mate is perfectly healthy, and the terrible plague of Ilse west, fever, is unknown. It also has an abundance of the best quality of coal and iron. The pi ice to buy it out is from $3 to $2O per acre, payable by instalments, to be located at the time of purchasing, or a share or tvt enty•five acres entitling to)ocate the same for $3OO, payable $0 per month, or 321 acres payable $4 per month. Discount for every sum of $lOO and under, paid in advance, a dis count of $5 per cent. will by allowed, and for over $lOO a discouut of 10 per cent. In considering the advantages of emigrating to this locality, the following are presented. FIRST—The soil is a rich limestone, capable of raising the heaviest crops, owing to which this settlement has attained its present great prosperity. Secosr.—lt is the centre of the great north. west coal basin, and is destined soon to become one of the greatest business places in the state. It will supply the great Lake market, (accord ing to population and travel the greatest in the Union.) It has five workable veins of the best bituminous coal, amounting in the aggre gate to over 22 feet, which makes 22,000 tons of coal under each acre. This will make the land of inestimable value. The eminent state geologist, Dr. Chas. T. Jackson of Boston, huts made a geological sur vey of the land, and analysed gar coal, the iron ore and the limestone. This report, to gether with maps, will be furnished to inqui rers. Fourrn —Three railroads are laid out thro . ugh this property. The Sunbury & Erie Railroad gives us a market for our coal to the lakes—it runs from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of this road has been finished, and is now in running order. A heavy force is now work ing from Erie towards our land in the western direction, the means for Abe completion of which has been raised—it will soon be finished. The Allegheny. Valley Railroad connects us with New York, Boston and Pittsburg. The Venango Road connects us with the West. There are already good turnpike roads run ning though this property, various other, roads have - been opened to accomniodate.the emigra tion and settlement which has already taken place. There is no opportunity equal to it now of. fered to the man who wants to provide himself a home in an easy way, and Make a settlement where he can live in prosperity and indepen dence in a climate PERFECTLY HEALTHY. No case of the fever ever having been known to occur in this settlement. It is not like going to the backwoods Of ' the west, among perhaps intolerant people, where there is no society, churches or schools, where the price of land is high, and where the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest climate in the world, has to endure sickness and pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of hiri family. But here is a thriving settlement, having three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels, stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything desired. There is a cash market at hand.— The lumber trade last year amounted to over two hundred million feet of lumber. In a abort time, owing to the coal, it will become still more valuable, as-a number of iron works and manufactories will soon be started; they are et present starting them extensively at Warren. Even for those who do not wish to go there, the payments are such that they can easily buy a farm to save their rising families from want in the future, or to gain a competence by the rise which will take place in the value of lands. By an outlay ,scarcely missed, a sub stantial provision can be made. Persons should make early application, apply or write to E. Jeffries,'Sec., No. - 135 Walnut street, below Fifth, Philadelphia.' Letters carefully answered, giving full information. Shares or tracts of land can be bought or secured by letter enclosing the first instalment of five dollars; when tbesubseriber will be fur nished with honks, maps, &c. Warrantee Deeds given. Persons can also purchase from our Agents:- Roote from Philadelphia to Tyrone on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. and thence by stage to the land. : 1 his a delightful season to visit St. Mary's—the best hotel accommoda tion is afforded.
