Or the Dog and the Assassin.
nit MAB. 0. A. somr.
While travelling in 1787 through the
beautiful city of Leipzig I observed, about
half a league from the gate of the town, a
few . rods. from the highway, a wheel and
the bones of a chained corpse exposed to
the gaze of every passer.
The following_ is the history of that
criminal, as I learned it from the. lips of
the judge who conducted the trial, and
condemned him to be broken alive. ,
A German.'hutclier being benighted in,
the midst of a forest, lest his way, and
while endeavoring to gain' the road,. was
attacked by three. highway rpon. lie was
'on horseback and, accompanied by a large
dog. One of the robbers seized the horse
byshe bridle, while the others dragged the
butcher from the saddle and felled him.H
The dog leaped immediately upon ono of
them and strangled him; but the" other
wounded the animal so severely that ho
rushed into the thicket, uttering the most;
fearful howls. The butcher, who by , this
time 'had disengaged himself from the,
grasp of the second robber, drew his knife '
and killed him. But at the same moment''
ho received a shot from the third, he who
had just wounded the dog, and falling, was'
despatched by the thief, who found upon I
him a large sum in gold, a silver watch and \
a few other articles of value. He plund
ered the corpse, leaped upon the horse
and fled.
The next morning two woodcutters hap
pening in that path were surprised to find,
three dead bodies and a large dog, who)
seemed to be guarding them and endavor-1
ed to restore life; but in vain. One of
them dressed the wounds of the dog, gavo
him some food, and sought some water for
him, while the-other hastened to the near
est village to inform the magistrate of the
discovery. The officer accompanied by
several attendants, was soon on the spot;
a sergeon examined the wounds of the!
three bodies; they , drew up a verbal
a verbal process and interred them. The
dog had dragged himself, in the COWS° of
the night, when all was quiet to the corpse
of his master, where he was found the next
morning. He_ allowed his new friends to
dress.his wounds, and as if foreseeing at
he must consent to live that he might th one
day avenge the murdered,he eatand drank,
but would-not.leave the spot.
He looked on quietly, while they dug
the grave, and allowed them to. bury the
bodies; but as soon as the turf was repla
ced, he stretched himself upon it, howled
mournfully,-and resisted all efforts of the
" bystanders to induce him to ' move. .He
' snaped pt all who came near him, ecept
the p woodman who had tended him. x,
Ho
bore his caresses, but no sooner did the
man attempt to take his paws to remove
him from the grave, than ho gnashed his
' teeth, and would have wounded him se
verely if he had not quickly fled. Every
one admired the fidelity of the dog, and
when the woodman offered to carry him
food and drink, every day that he might
not perish, the magistrate proposed taking
up a collection to remunerate the man, who
was poor and the father of a large family.
With difficulty he was . induted io accept
the money ; but ho finally did, and from
that moment burdened himself with the
care of his new prisoner.
The details of this horrible event were!
published in the principal journals
off fi
the le'
country. - M. Meyer, a brother
butcher's reading some time afterwards the
advertisement of-the magistrato,.hastened
instantly to his presence, saying lie had
fears which he believed now were only too
well foundedi•that his brother had fallen
into the hands of robbers, as he had Jeff
home with a large sum in gold for the pur-'
chase of beevee, and had not since been
heard from. ' His suspicions were only too
sadly confirmed when the magistrate re
lated to him the singular, conduct of a dog,
which he described. M: Meyer accompa
nied by the officer and several others re
paired to the
. grave. As soon as_ the dog
perceived his masters brother, he howled,
lapped his hands , and evinced numerous
other demonstrations 'of grief and .joy. IIY
different parts of his dress,M. Moyer rec
ognised the body of his brother when they
disinterred.it. • The absence of •4he , gold
and the watch,' the wounds of the butcher,
these of :tWo Other bodiesi together with the
disappearance' of the horse, convinced the
magistrate and:the. , witnesses that the' de
ceased had'not:only. been assailed by two,
but'olsO by one or several' others, who had
fled Witq the- horse and the'phinder.

him to repair without delay to teipiig to
close the eyes of his maternal uncle, who
desired to see him before ho died. .Hi 3
mediatoly hastened thither accompanied by
'his brother'S dog, who was his companion
at all times, Ho arrived too late. • His
relatiVe had deceased the previous evening,
bequeathing, hiin a large fortune; He
found the city crowded, it being the season
of the great fair, • held •regularly there,
twice a' year.
While walking one morning on the pub
lic square attended as usual by his dog,
ho was astonished to behold the animal
suddenly rush forward like a flash. He
.dashed through the crowd and leaperffuri
ously .upon an elegantly dressed young
man, who was seated in the centre of the
square upon an elevated platform erected
for the I.lse of those spectators who desired
more conveniently to witness the shows.
He held him by the throat with so firm. ti
grasp that he would soon have strangled
him, had not aid been instantly 'rendered
They immediately chained the dog think
ing of course he must be mad, strove to
kill him. M. Meyer rushed through' the
crowd, arrived in time to rescue his faith
ful friend, calling eagerly in the meantime
upon the bystandersjo arrest the man, for
he believed his dog recognized'in him the
the murderer of his brother.
Before he had time to explain himself,
the young man profiting by the tumult es
caped. For some moments they thought
Meyer himself was mad,'and he had great
difficulty in persuading those who had
bound the dog that thefaithful creature
was not in the least dangerous, and begged
earnestly of them to release him that he
might pursue the assassin. Ho spoke in
so convincing a manner, that his hearers
finally felt persuaded of the truth of his as
sertions, and restored the dog his freedom,
who joyously bounded to his master, leap
ed about him a few times and then hast
ened away.
He divided the crowd and was soon up
on his enemy's track.Aghe police, which
on these occasions is • very active and
prompt, were immediately informed of this
extraordinary event, and a number of off].
cers were soon in pursuit. The dog be ! .
came in a few moments the object of pub.
lie curiosity, and every one drew back to
allow him room. Business was suspended,
and the crowd collected in groups, con
versing of naught but the dog, and - the
murder which had been committed two
years before. After a half hou'rs expecta
tion a general rush indicated that the
search was over... The man had stretched
himself upon the gound, under the Heavy
folds of a double tent and'helieved himself

avenger had tracked him and leaping up- I
on him, he bit him, tore his garments and
would have killed him upon the spot, had
not the assistance' rushed to his rescue.
He was immediately arrested, and led
with M. Meyer and the dog, and carefully
bound before the judge, who hardly knew
what to . think °lse extraordinary an affair.
Meyer related all that had happened two
yors before, and insisted upon the impris
onment of the man, declaring that he was
the murderer of his brother, for. his dog
could not be deceived.
During all the time it was found almost
impossible to hold the animal, who seem
ed deterinined to attack the 'pr'ison .
Upon interrogating the latter, the judge
was not satisfied' with his replies and or
dered biro. to be .searched. There•was
found upon him a large sum in gold, nnd,
jewels and five watches, four of them gold
'and very valuable, while the fifth was an
old silver one of .but little consequerice.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABUT OAS.
By. what Process the Earth is Impocrishca.
There are three principal ways by which
the natural fruitfulness of the earth.rnay
be seriously impaired.
1. By removing its natural products : as
when a prairie is annually mown for rise
ries of years, and all the hay removed, and
no manure or .other fertilizer returned:—
In Europe, where forest culture is practii.
ed, e xperience has shown that to remove
the leaves that annually fall upon the
ground, to rot and form mould over the
roots of_trees,is sure to impoverish the
land and injure its valuable products. , --
These leaves, as well as prairie grass,con
tain both earthly minerals called inorganic
matter, and combustible elements usually
designated-• by the term organic matter.—
In burning over the prairie,the latter per-'
tion of the plants consumed is alone remov
ed from the soil ; their ashes marlin on the
ground where the plants grew. Pastures .
are deteriorated by the loss of grass carri
ed off in the stomachs ofdomestic animals:
2, Soils aro impoverished by tillage
without cropping or removing any plant
whatever. No fact in egriculture.is more,
important than this: All tillage is purely'.
an artificial and withal a most unnatural
operation. Nature never plows, nor har
rows, nor hoes the earth to promote the
growth of vegetation. Her highest pro
ductiveness is the result of laws; which ev
ery farmer should carefully study and
learn to follow, in the renovation of culti
vated fields.
Although all tillage is a mechanical pro
cess, yet its effects are both•chemical- and
physical on the soil. So far as the chemi
cal results of tillage arc concerned, they
are quite independent of all crops and other
plants. It is not so.easy a task as some'.
may suppose td explain in a few words,the ',
several changes wrought in the mould and 1
inorganic part of soils, by tho plow,l
spade, and hoe. The mechanical and
physical effects of tillago.aro very obvious
to every cultivator. The earth is mellowed
\ ;
rendered exceedingly pores and Admirably
fitted not only to absorb atmospheric air,
and all gaseous bodies, but to condense
them in the innumerable pores of the fri
able muse. The same causes which in
crease. the fertility of a followed field ex
'artist the soil, if long continued, although
no crop • should be grown upon it. lf,
however, a crop of weeds, grass, peas, or
clover be grown and allowed. to die and
rut on the ground or be plowed in, the soil
Will be enriched by -the operation., But if
a field be annually plowed and hoed, as',
for a crop of corn, tobacco, cotton or su- '
gar-cane, for tweritv-five - year.4,• and no
.
plant whatever be allowed to grow on its
surface, the mechanical and chemical
changes, associated as they must be with
the leachings.and washings of innumera
ble rains would result in removing from
the - surface of the earth nearly or quite all
of its vegetable mould and the soluble min,
°rabic food of plants. To test this princi
ple in nature, suppose raarmer were to ap
ply twenty five loads of well rotted stable
manure upon an acre of land, and plow,
harrow, and ,hoe the ground twenty'
years, as for crops of corn or cotton, but
plant nothing and permit neither grass nor
weeds to grow thereon. 'Would any of
the dissolved elements of this manure re
main that length of time'in the surface
soill Certainly not. If manure wilt de
.compose rind disappear like wood Consum
ed in a fireplace, moy not vegetables do
so likewise 'I And if the•mineral known as
comrnon salt and salts of lime and potash
will readily dissolve on the ground in rain
water, and pass into a state of solution
deep into the earth and re-appear, in springs,
wells, and rivulets, may not similar .min
erals naturally in the soil, and rendered
:soluble by Jillage, be also dissolved and
washed out of the mellow. ground into the
compact sub-sail, or into swamps, rivers,
and the ocean?
• Tho principal object in ploughing and'
hoeing, is to increase .tliie quantity of avail
,able food for the crop ; , but while•the plants
is
ere. present in the soil and growing.it
by no means certain that all the manure or
,other ,fertilizers Applied to the lankor all,

soil, enter the roots of the,cultiVated plants,
and appear at tbe•horvest. : ,!

Lion. as the sumo soil with a clay sub-soil, •
Light, sandy soils abound in North Caro
lino, Virginict. Maryland, Georgia, and
South Carolina, and most of these when
fresh yield fair crops. Their red clay lands '
aro not so easily, worked, but are morn •
enduring and generally more productive.
The limestone soils of Citerokeesnty ,
of TeIrMOSSee, Kentucky,Missourio,u and,
other States, aro, altogether different from
any forthed, Simla the debris of granatict.
metamorphic, and sand reeks. It is ire
possible to form an tntellgent opinion of
the exhaustion of the soil by any given ,
amount of tillage and cropping,witheni,
knowing something of the
parent rocks
from which the earth was derived,
mical
- and
something of its physical and che
properties. A knowledge of the princi•
pies of geology and ehemistry'is invalual/
blo to one who desires to understand ins
advance what are the natural capabilities
of any, arable land ; and what Clemente of ;
crops it is most likely to have in, too sintig ,
a quantity.
It often happens that a soil' partakes,
very little of the character of the rock that,
lies but twenty or thirty inches below ite
surface.
This is owing to the circumstance that`
a different kind of rock has furnishedthe
earthly matter deposited above the solid
strata. In several counties in Western,
New York, the soft Medina sandstones has,
been comminuted and carried by tidal
currants, glaciers, icebergs, or some Other
moving force, many miles southwar Of d, and
spread over lime rocks, hundreds fed
higher than the parent sandstone both get.
°logically and topographically. Although
resting on lime-rock, these soils often leek'
lime to a degree.
The durability or a soil is governed, fp,
an eminent degree, by its texture and h.y.
grometic properties. ,
Tenacious clay lands retain fertilizing
salts with peculiar and remarkable atfinityi
When well drained and thoroughly., tilled
they yield up their nutritive ,constite
as fast as profitable. Whore one hati t bitt
a small surface to operate on, the appltcer
Bogor clay to sandy soils is very uscr,til:
The deeper and more thoroughly one ctili
tivates his land, removes all that it pro
duces, and makes no adequate restitution,
the faster will he impair the natural caper
hilities of his soil. No matter .with what
skill, and science a farmer extracts int . :.
menso crops from his fields; the larger
e the
.amount of potash, soda, and, rnagneirt,
soluble flint, phosphorus, sulphur' chlorine,
and, organized nitrogen. carried or. in
crops, the poorer his land must beconie,
unless a part ofall these ingredients bc‘re
turned to the earth whence, they wore te-
ken.
It is uncertain to say, with any,opiyki
motion to the truth, in the present infancy
of agricultural science, how much of thu
inorganic food of plants May be safely-$-
moved from year to year in grass, Milk,
meat, or grain, in cotton or tobacco°, frau)

potaSh; Magnesia, sulphur, Moutd . ,
and
phosphorus may be spared from thp

est soils, without Injury ; while so so
abound in the elements of crops as to furn
ish an amount, twenty times larger,
with
out exhausting.the supply of earthly ti,l7.!p
-orals. This point Will be further diseusseo
