Ca'aa,e Sagacaty.-In ancient times, q French gentleman of family and for tune, when travelling alone through q forest, was murdered, and buried under tree. lis dog an English blood- hound, went to the house of his masters friend in Paris, and by bowling, look ing towards the door, and pulling at his coat, made him understand that he wisl- edto be followed. This dumb eloquenee having effected its purpose, he led the way directly to the tree, where he scratched the earth and howled. Ondig- ging the spot the body of the murdered man was found.

 A long time after this, the dog met the assassin in the midst of crowd, and instantly flew at his throat. Whenever he saw the same individual, he always attacked him with the same ferocity. This excited suspicion; and the King. Louis the Eighth, having himself been witness of the fact, determined to re- fer tine decision to the chance of battle. In those days they did not have trial by judge and jury, but decided causes by single combat ;those who were vanquish- ed were deemed guilty. The battie between the Chevalier and the blood hound took place in the Isle of Notrc Dame. The dog brought the man to the ground. He confessed the murder and was beheaded. A monument in basso-reliepo, representing the combat. still remains inthe grand hall atthe Cas- tie of Montgaris in France.
