A few days since humanity required that
a period should be put to the existence and
extreme anguish of a valuable Dog, whose
fidelity had rendered him a favorite. This
poor animal had some weeks since received
a violent stroke upon the joint of the shoul-
der, either with a cutlass or a similar wea-
pon, and the wound produced a languor and
a rapid decay, attended with continual tor-
ture. Long prior to the above barbarous
event, the creature had gradually declined
in bulk ; and being opened by a Canine ope-
rator, a contusion was found to have formed
upon one of the kidneys, which had attained
to a most incredible size, originating possibly
from the kick of some more brutal animal
than himself. The crime, for surely such
it may be called, of wantonly exercising
our superiority over the brute creation, in
this instance appears without excuse, as the
poor object was the most docile and least
vicious of his species, and had as such been
very long respected by the whole circle of
