FROM THE "SPECTATOR." 23 



years ago. A man, named Cosgrove, the 

 keeper of a low tavern near the railroad 

 station, had his arm broken, and came many 

 times to the office to have the dressings 

 arranged. He was always accompanied by 

 a large, most ferocious-looking bull-dog, that 

 watched me most attentively, and most un- 

 pleasantly to me, while bandaging his 

 master's arm. A few weeks after Cosgrove's 

 case was discharged, I heard a noise at the 

 office door, as if some animal was pawing it, 

 and on opening it, saw there this huge bull- 

 dog, accompanied by another dog that held 

 up one of its front legs, evidently broken. 

 They entered the office. I cut several 

 pieces of wood, and fastened them firmly 

 to the leg with adhesive plaster, after 

 straightening the limb. They left imme- 

 diately. The dog that came with Cosgrove's 

 dog I never saw before nor since." 



Do not these stories adequately show that 

 the dogs reasoned and drew new inferences 

 from a new experience ?
