On the third day, about the same hour, the sagacious animal made his appearance—-he was then of course considered by me as an out-door patient, incognita, and impatiently (by bis gestures) waited his turn to meet the attention of my assistants to dress anew his wounds ; to which he most gently submitted, licking during the whole time of the operation, the hands of the operator. He continued punc tually to visit my surgery every morning at the same hour, until cured, which I believe was not less than fifteen days. I found some time after, that the dog belonged to a respectable butcher in St. John’s suburbs ; and, to prove the gratitude of that animal, 1 must say, that every time I had occasion to pass his master’s house, it was impossi ble to avoid the extreme caresses and fond ness which he displayed by his alert ges tures and jumping, and even following me throughout my visits to all the patients I then .had under my care in both suburbs ' then following until he saw me safely in it lodgings, when he immediately de- r for his master’s home ; and what is mo fe extraordinary, all the enticing means resorted to by the students and myself) nev could prevail upon the dog to enter the 8U Wry after he icas dismissed as cured. tanical Question.—Are all plants the of the germination ofa seed on virgin and vegetable mould ?

By experiments that I made at Yakutsy, I found on the 19th November the mercury in my thermometer frozen. In December, I found by repeated observations, that two ounces of clear quick silver openly exposed, froze hard in fifteen minutes. I observed that in these severe frosts, the air was condensed, as it is with you m fTthick fog—the atmosphere is fro zen-respiration is fatiguing. &c. It is a happy law of nature that in such intense ccdd there is seldom any wind—when there is it is dangerous to be abroad. “ There are no wells at Yakutsy; for it is found by experiment that the water free zes at sixty feet deep. People of these re gions are therefore obliged to use ice and snow. They have also ice windows; glass is of no use to the few who- have it; the difference in the state of the air, within and without, is so great that the glass is covered on the inside with several inches of frost and in that situation it is less luminous than ice.The timber of the house splits and opens with loud cracks—the rivers thunder and open with broad fissures—all nature groans beneath the rigours of winter. Ingenious expedient.—Mr. Dickson, one of the English gentlemen engaged in ma king discoveries in the interior of Africa, was detained by the Shah natives on pre sence that the Fetish, their idol or oracle, was unfavorable to his advance. Mr. D. obtained permission to try the White man’s IFeiish. Being provided with a galvanic .battery, he had a fowl killed, which he pla ced upon the battery, and it performed the ordinary actions of the bird while it was a- live, fluttering, and almost flying away. The natives could not resist the miracle and allowed him to proceed. This anecdote re minds us of that recorded of Columbus, who found great difficulty in obtaining pro visions, &c. for his followers while in the island of Hispaniola. He told the natives that Cod was angry with them, and that on the morrow the Sun would become red as blood, the stars would shine at noon-davj , &c.—-By his skill in astronomy he had as certained that an eclipse of the sun was then to take place, and he made use of this expe dient, which was entirely successful; the natives crowding around him with abundant supplies, and reverencing him as a demi- g° d - •’ -*•.

He was an ignorant young man, unlearned in the precepts pf ^e Gospel, and reckless of the obligations which morality and the law create. The zealous and humane exertions of several Clergymen failed to awaken in him a proper sense of the offers of salvation which the blood of a Redeemer had prepared for all mankind—even the most guilty. He ascended the cart that was to convey him to the place of execution, with a dogged resolution to brave out the awful scene which awaited him—he stood perfect ly erect, looking neither to the right nor to the left—his long hair—he had long been the tenant of a gloomy dungeon—hung loosely on his shoulders, and his fair and delicate complexion was intensely flushed— but when he arrived at the gallows this flush gave way to a death like paleness. The Clergyman having first sung a hymn, pro ceeded to offer up a petition to the throne oT divine grace; then it was, that a deep sense of the horrors of his situation suddenly burst upon the unhappy man—his eyebrows seemed to stand erect—every muscle in his face was convulsed—dropping down on his knees, I16 rested his head on his coffin, and wept aloud—he sought for mercy.
