A terrible explosion followed the fearful
pause." A storm of slugs poured into my
‘bed, perforating mywig, and scattering the
pumpkin in every direction.
“He won’t never tell no stories l" I
heard the. assassin say, as he dropped the
breach of the gun heavily to the floor.-
"Now for the dog."
During these operations Lion had placed
himself at my side, with his fore feet upon
' the bed, while to keep him still, I put my
handover his mouth. He knew well what
I meant, for I had kept him quiet so before.
At the moment of the discharge, he gave a
low growl. I pointed to the door. He un-'
derstood my meaning well. His eyes flash-
ed like balls of fire, while he waited the ino-
mcnt to wreak his vengeance on the assas-
sins.
“I will open the door "
the cretur sticks out .hig._,,;-L
said the she-wolf.
The door was opened, put ‘the cretur‘ did
not stick his head out. Lion knew better
than that, and awaited his chance. Embel-
dened by not hearing anything, the door
was gradually opened. Now was the time.
With‘a terrific howl, Lion leaped over the
head of the woman, and seized the ruflian
by the throat, dragged him in an instant to
the floor, where a great struggle took place.
In another moment the hag was writhing in
my nervous grasp ; her surprise was so great
that she made but little resistance-and I
quickly bound her hand and foot with a cord
which she had procured for another use—
perhaps to drag my body away into the
"woods. '
The next thing to attend to was the man
and Lion. The utruggle was still going on,
but the latter had set his sharp teeth into the
throat of the wretch, and rendered all his ef-
forts abortive, although he was a man of
powerful frame. He was already rocking
with blood, and I hastened to save what lit-
tle of life was left in him. The dog was
lnth to quit his hold, and, when he did, he
left one victim to punish another; for before
1 could prevent it, he had set his teeth quite
through the hag’s arm, who shrieked liken
lunatic. _
The fellow looked ghastly enough when
1 released him. -His neck was fr-ighzfully
torn, but he got no pity from me. 1 bound
him as I had his companion in iniquity,
while he maintained a moody silence, and
she heaped curses upon the dog. I bound
her apron about his neck, which was all the
surgical aid he got from me. Lion seemed
very well satisfied with the arrangements,
and laid -down in the cdrncr and watched
them with much calm philosophy.
We rertiained with them until morning.-—
1 cannot say but I enjoyed our triumph as
much as Lion did, as they were certainly old
offenders. as it was proved afterwards in a
court of justice. As good fortune would
have it, a man passed the next morning, by
whom I sent word to the nearest settlement
‘tile, and when
_ , shoot him,"
_ df what had occurred. .
Before ten o’clock the offenders were in
_. the hands of the law. They were conveyed
, to the nearestjail, where they awaited their
trial. They were sentenced to ten years irri-
pi-isonmcnt, which, all the circumstances
considered, was not too tiiuch. I believe if
they ever live to get out, they will kill Lion,
should he survive their punishment; he is
still as strong and healthy a (log as you can
find anywhere. No money would tempt me
to part with him. He is now looking quiet-
ly in my face as I writethis. I have hinted
to him the propriety of having his likeness
published with this sketch; but he shakes
his head gravely, as much as to say —“l do
not care about it, master-——every worthless
‘puppy has his likeness published __now-a-
days.”
Grateful for past services, I suffer him to
have his own way in this, as in a great many
other matters. Let no one despise the dog,
-as he is the only animal who, forsukiug his
own species, cultivates the friendship of man.
Dawn among the Fir/ies.—-A successful
a‘tcmpt to reach the wreck of the steamer
A'lantic, which was sunk on lake Erie, has
been made by a diver dressed in the subma-
rine armor. He found the vessel,and went
down fourteen feet below the upper deck, his
feet being one hundred and forty-four feet
b-'-low the surface of the lake: I26 feet is
the greatest depth ever before reached. The
armor consists of a perfectly air-tight India-
iubber dress, with a copper helmet on the
top, from which are pipes to furnish air for
breathing; there is a thick, clear plate of
glass in front. The pumping of the air
tltrough the supply and exhaust pipes re-
quires the hard labor of four and sometimes
Szx men. There is a great’ pressure of air
on the lungs. M hen a depth of ten feet is
reached, the dress becomes emptied of air

A Feature of the “Last War.”
The late political revolution is not less
marked and sudden than the appearance of
the political journals immediately after the
close of the conflict. For months before the
day of battle, their colums bore accumula-
ting evidences of the rising storm, and the
increasing beat under the great political caul-
dron. The premonitory symloms were teen
in whole sentences and paragraphs of moving
editorials, all clothed in runaway and spin-
dle-legcfed italics, to give them cniphasis-—
The next stage of the disease was in the oc-
casional “interlardations” of SMALL CAPITALS
..or, in the somewhat “iiu_rscryfietl” nomen-
clature of the printers, “éMAI.L CAPS"-fllld,
here and there an honest exclamation point !
or insinuating mark of interrogation? From
this point the malady passed atonce into the
last and most furious stage of the epidemic
—the columns assuming a pictorial chairpe-
ter, with wood-cut portraits of candidates,
maps of gerrymandérs, political pilgrimages,
and all that sort of argument; flags emblaz-
oned with the names of the nominees, with
now and then a “big gun” blazing away at
the enemy, and swarms of fiery-eyed and
hook-beaked eagles, in every vttiiclyof atti-
tude. And amid all these demonstrations,
figured startling developments of “frauds,”
“conspiracies,” “ro'irbaclr,” &c., with para-
graph after paragraph making it clean breach
of italics, “SMALL cars,_’’ and all the lighter
artillery of a printcr’s “case,” and swelling
at once into the full grown dignity of large
CAPITALS, inarshalled with regiments of

two or three weeks the hundreds of our poli-
tical excbanges, as \'\‘€'ll&|S our own paper, ap-
peared in this fighting costume, and were as
belligerent as possible. But in a day all this
is changed, altl we are now all back again

Iiorrible Scene.-—\Ve find the follo in iiig
details of a revolting scene, the effects of in-
temperance, in the Cincinnati Times:
E:quir-e Boivckamp, who is the overseer
of the poor for the Ninth Ward, was called
upon to Visit an lrish family, residing in an
alley between Abigail and Woodward, and
Main and Sycamore streets. On entering
the house, he found the father and husband
—James Jackson on the floor, apparently
dead. When first discovered he was recli-
ning upon a trunk, with his throat resting
upon the back of it chair. Near him iipofi
the floor, lay his wife insensibly drunk, and
between them the cause of this horrible scene,
a whiskey bottle entirely emptied of its con-
tents! In one corner of the room lay their
oldest child, a girl of five years of age, dead !
-—und upon the bed lay an infant, crying in
vain for its inhuman mother. It was the cries
of this infant which attracted the attention
of the neighbors to the spot. The pa-
rents had undoubtedly permitted the little
girl to drink to such an excess as to cause
her death. ' A physician was called in who
thought life was not quite extinct in the man.
Remedies wee applied, but they failed to
restore him. His position, it is supposed
caused his death, he being strangled by the
pressure of his throat upon the chair, » An
emetic administered to the wretched wife
and mother, soon rostored her to conscious-
ricss.

gill. “l ham broken your china vase.”
" W9“. 3'00 are a naughty, careless,

And this was in Christian inother’s answer
to the tearful little culprit, who had struggled
with and conquered temptation to tell a false-
hood to screen her faultl With disappointed,
disheartened look, the child obeyed, and at
that moment was crushed in her little heart
the ‘sweet flower - truth, peiha, s never

~'I‘:li_uniday of this week, and of course ought
to be “observed in a propel’ .8|'|d bE¢°ml°8 ‘"3"’
nor,” throughout our State,trt least. But to ob-
serve this day in entire spirit does not con-
sist in -stuffing ourselves with tliegood things
of this world, regardless of the condition of
our fellow mortals around us, nor in bidding
them be warmed, fed and clothed, without
furnishing the imdful to effect such a purpose
Now, here in Norwalk, there are rserg/few,
probably who really suffer for food, but there
are many to whom a fat Turkey, or even
a tolerably well conditioned chicken Would
be a luxury that would rejoice their hearts»
as much as it would flslonisll their stomachs.
There are many, very marry, others in Nor-_
walk, too, 1' ho could afford to make such a
benevolent testimonial without even feeling
the outlay ; and who would no dou'otclieer-
lolly do so if the subject was suggested to
them. Now, why would it not be a capital
idea to get together such families as are really
deserving, and in such poor circumstances as
to be unable to observe the day, according to
ancient and honorable usages, and -when in
list is made out,make a light assessment upon
those who would be glad to avail themselves
of such a privilege. We are satisfied that
many of our wliig friends would greatly rc-
lieve themselves of the disagreeable sensa-
tions of, the recent election by taking an ac-
tive part in such an enterprise. Let ‘s have
a real old fashioned T/tan].-s,gtt'tng Ibis year.
There will be it great deal qf consolttlion in
it.-—But where do they get /atlurkics in this
Salt River country? We are particularly dc-
sirous to know.
A Lyceum.
Our young men have succeeded in their
laudable efforts of closing stores at8‘ o'clock,
and now can't they carry the reform still
farther and organize some sort of n Lyceum
or debating club. ln this respect, almost
every town in the"State is ahead of Nor-
walk. We have lepeatedly urged the im-
portance of such an institution as a pro-
vetitativc of vice r-nu‘ crime on the part of
our boys and young men, who are now
compelleid to spend their long winter even-.
ingsin some secluded nook at home, with
a thirst for novelty, company and sport
preying upon their youthful buoyancy of
spirit, or else they must seek enjoyment in
such retreats as most.ab_ound, and iuvitetherii
in our'strcets.._ Parents, do you feel no in-
terest in such nu enterprise? In Stamford
they are awake upon this subject, as ap-
pears from the following from the Ad acute:
“Arrangcrnents have been made for the
delivery of it course of Lectures (luring the
coming winter. lt is-proposed that the
Course shall consist of eight Lectures, on it
variety of subjects, by gentlemen of well
known talent.
“The price of tickets for the course has
been fixed at one dollar each, or twenty-
five cents for single tickets It is -probable
thatthc first lecture will be delivered early
in Dec-eniber, and be followed by oibersat
intervals of one ortwo weeks.
“The course of last winter was remark-
ably well_ received by our citizens, and we
believe the present course will meet with
still greater favor.”
Important Slave Decision.
Judge Payne, in the Superior Court, New
York, delivered his opinion, on Saturday, in
the case of tltejcolored persons, mentioned in
ms last,claimetl as slaves, and brought to
that city from Virginia,ori their way to Tex-
as. The Jtidge’s opinion concludestliat by
thelaws of New York, Slaves brought into
it by their owners, become free. He thera-
forc,ordercd their discharge.
Mysterious, Very !
Our attention was recently called to a
very suspicious looking craft nearly ready
to be launched, which bafiled our powers of’
divination to determine for what purposes
it was intended. We should have supposed
that ithad been constructed “away up Salt
River,” for the purpose of bringing down
refractory democrats, had it not borne eviden-
ces of being entirely fresh. ltcould not be
intended to transport the Whig party up
that stream as it carried too many guns for
such apurpose. It wasa gun-boat of some
sort, and whether intended for a fillibustering
expedition against Cuba, or not, we cannot
tell, but it looks suspicious—in fact, very
‘suspicious! We learn it was launched
after (lack, and conveyed very secretly down
our harbor, and, altogether, we deem it mys-
terious, very. Perhaps our friend Austen can
tellsomething about it?
Town Meeting.
At a town meeting warned for the pur-
pose, held in the town house on Monday,
15th inst., it was decided that the number of
Selectmen to be Voted for at the ensuing
Town Election, befioe. It was also decided
' that Treasurer, Collector, and Constables be
elected by ballot-a law having passed the
last Legislature making similar provision for
the election of Selectmen and Town Clerk.
We are glad that the Ballot system has been
at length introduced, as it will save much
wrangling and illéfeeling. '

trades; they had the mechanic arts; they
had arms and soldiers; they had gbverninent;
they had free institutions; and the Dr-spot

ocean three thousand miles wide. The
slaves have none of these adi/antages,~and re-

horrible extermination.
