The colon is the i p| te< log, tiierc- 



iii originality of though! and pvirpoa 

 and stupidity, is rarely equaled. The colon lms no 



longitudinal ligaments, and consequently is not pott 



uchea, as in man; neither riots it, make any circular 

 turn round !he abdomen, but passes directly across the sacrum 

 where it obtains ill- name of rectum. 



At the extremity of the rectum, i e alius, two 

 pftga or pouches are found, which contain a most • 

 fetid mucous, yellowish in color, for which we know no use, 

 Hmessil serve to lubricate the skaihed extremity of the rec- 

 '.iim. and defend ii a-'nii '■>■■ ■■■ r" ' ■. ■■ i.in i ■■ , -.. vr to mod-

to these sacs in the hum 

 tthless we consider a uucilaginoUS glands th&J ai'i 



wfind most frequent and largest about the lower part of the 

 rectum. 



The mesentery is considerably longer than in the human 

 ■ 1 1 ■ - : I position,. the intestines may 

 ;; cushion of the abdominal mu cl 

 need in the same manner and for the aami i :a son n 

 the omentum, the inten ice Being fllied with a i 

 lirune. 



Instead of a great number of glandular vuga\ we find them 

 lew in numln c and thos ehi i.'. ■ ■ tedtog then as there 

 I n'ge gland to be observed in the middle of the mes- 

 entery, which, from its imagined resemblance to the pancreas 

 fed the nann of itsdiscova tAst, bu 



jhe resemblance, if n u'efiy i m the connection, the 



structure being entirely different The reason, why thi8 in man 

 n were" subdivided into many small glands may possibly 

 be that as the intestines of the human body are proportionately 

 much loogei tb in intbi 

 have gathered u U tin- /■■■" ■ . whereas, 



ectlrj resselsinto a neighboring 



ffieci is much more easily procured. Whethei thi 

 of the dog needs less preparation in its passage through these 

 glands, is a matter not fully understood, though some changes 

 certainly take place. 



The pancreas in man lies across the abdomen, tied down by 



icum. But the capacity of the canine abdomen does 



not allow of a like situation, so it is disposed more lougitudi- 



i il to the duodenum, which it, accompanies 



Berne way ; its dud enters the duodenum about an inch and a 



half below the ductus communis. 



The spleen differs much, b ith in figure and situation; being 

 much more oblong and thin, and lies more according to the 

 lemztuof the abdomen, like the pancreas. In man, it is firmly 

 i.i.-.d to ! he diaphragm, whichisnecassaryintheereel posture he 

 prevent il falling downward. But heru such fasten- 

 ing is unnecessary, as bythi ■ I he posterior pans 

 brae body being higher tbi it is always contig- 

 uous tfi this muscle, and is as effectually subjected to an alter- 

 nate pressure as is the spleen of 1 1 1. ■ 



In all animals posscssim: Urg ■ llexion of the spine the liver 

 and lungs are dividsdin ■ if lobes by deep 



sections, reaehingthe large bl i id-vessels, that with the m rve- 

 ments of the vertebral column they may easily pass over the 

 other, and avoid the danger of being turn or bruised, which, 

 as a solid body of these organs, would bo liable to. as in tlio 

 feasa of the cow, horse, and suoh other creatures as have the 

 back bone stiff and immovable. The human liver has no 

 assures or divisions, mil :-s we choose to reckon as such the 

 small one between the two pylfE where; the large ves3els 

 .•liter. The dog has no Ugamentum latum eottnecting the 

 liver to the diaphragm, a- by the horizontal position it natu- 

 rallv gravitates forward, being in no danger of pressing upon 

 the veuacivd. Had the liver Wen <■ mnceted to the diaphragm, 

 respiration would necessarily have suffered, for this muscle is 

 here movable at the centre us well as the sides. Hut in man 

 the liver is necessarily thus connected to retain. the viseus in 

 place, and is fixed mostly in its tendinous part; thai is where 

 the pericardium is attached to ii on the opposite side, so that 

 Keathing is not impeded and suspended by the me : 

 and be. lies of the thorax, in consequence of the liver being 

 divided into so many lobes, it follows that the hepatic ducts 

 cannot, possibly merge into one common trunk until they are 

 quite Oul uf the substance of the Organ, ns a branch is given 

 oil from every lobe, all of which, when united, form the 

 hepatic due:, whence we are led to conclude that hepato- 

 cystic ducts mentioned by some of the older writers do not 

 gist. Thftgall-bladder is warning in several animals such as 

 the deer, horse, ass, etc., but in such, the hepatic duct, at its 

 beginning is widened into a reservair of considerable size, 

 which is supposed to answer the same purpose. 



Another Doer MtJBPBB— Death Of Ohkuon.— Many of our 

 renders doublless remember Oberon, who was a prize winner 

 at. the Baltimore and Philadelphia Dog Shows. For some 

 weeks he has been in the hands of a breaker, Mr. E. H. 

 Knight, of Allaire, IV. J., wise, Sunday, July 22, while out 

 walking with the dog, stepped in to inspect a newly finished 

 building •, a moment later he heard the report of a gun. On 

 leaving the house Oberon could not be tound, but on inquir- 

 ing of a boy standing near was told that the dog hail been shot 

 by Thos. Allen, a man who has obtained considerable notorie- 

 ty as a murderer of canines. This was corroborated by a 

 man near by, who witnessed the affair. 



Allan beiug called upon for an explanation of his conduct, 

 offered no excuse, acknowledging the shooting, saying that the 

 dog had done no harm, but was •'smelling around." He also 

 remarked lhat he killed him with No. 4 shot, but preferred B, 

 B. YVe understand that Mr. E. 8; Sanford, Jr., of the 

 Adams Express Co., who was the owner of the setter, pro- 

 ,,.,■■. ; i sue Allen lor the value of the animal, and Mr. Haight 

 proposes to have him indicted for violating the la.u Eoi Ida < 

 the use of fiiearms on Sunday. It is understood that Mr. 

 Bagh. -will also tike 8 hand in the matter, when Allen will 

 probably Bnd hi urn writer. 



This statement is subscribed to by Mr Sanford, in the Eol- 

 tewhlg writing. '< ae shi ting seemsto have been done from 

 pure willfulness and in a spirit of bravado :

The Iowa Dog Snow.— Dr. Leas, the president of Ihe Iowa 

 Sportsmen's Club, informs us that all arrangements have been 

 made for the meeting of the American National Kennel Club 

 ai that place Sept. 1. The trials will continue seven days, and 

 many ol Ihe best shots of the country will be there, and such 

 a gathering of dogs as is rarely met with. The club at Hauip- 

 ton propose to reserve one township entirely lor sport. This 

 section of the country being one of the best hunting grounds 

 in the West no better place could have been chosen fur the

— The Gerniantown Telegraph is ahead on dog and fish 

 stories. Here is its latest : 



The laziest fisherman in the United Stales is said to reside 

 alMiumyunk. Helms trained a dog to take bass, and there- 

 fore don't worry himself with the labor of holding a rod ol un- 

 dergo the exertion of landing a fish, lie casts his line with 

 Boat attached iulo one of the pools below the Flat-Rock dam 

 and attaches the other cud around the, fore-shoulders of his 

 dog. As soou as the animal feels a pull it gives a spring for 

 ward and rapidly ascends the bank, at the same tin Log 



a sharp bark, which awakens his mas Brill casi lie :s Sleeping 

 in the shade of a neighboring tree. A number of line bass, it 

 is said, have been secured in this peculiar manner. 



How Piin.,umi,i'iiiA Kills Dogs. — Unmuzzled dogs when 

 captured are taken to the pound on Lamb Tavern Road. At 

 the expiration of the time allowed for redemption, the canines 

 are induced to enter a small brick building containing two 

 rooms, one above the other. Once in, the modes of exit arc 

 closed. A Charcoal fire is started, and the windows are shut, 

 and dampers reversed, so as to prevent air from entering the 

 rooms. In about a minute the carbonic acid generated causes

RcssiAM Setters.— B. S., writing from Baltimore, Md., 

 says ; I am glad to see one of your correspondents enlighten- 

 ing the public with regard to the Russian setter. I have a 

 cross-bred one out ol' an imported Russian bitch by a native 

 English setter. He is chestnut anil white, powerfully built 

 with an expression of rare intelligence, and he certainly is 

 possessed of good sense j the best retriever I ever saw, a fine 

 ranger with a remarkably good nose, although seven years old 

 he is to-day a very good field dog, and possessed of a courage 

 that nothing can daunt. The Russian setter is so little known 

 however that sportsmen have often been surprised at his being 

 a good dog, thinking him a cross with the spaniel. The fact 

 that this dog has traveled over five thousand miles in quest of 

 game, having been hunted in Florida, North Carolina, Vir- 

 ginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, should be evidence of the 

 good qualities of the breed, and I agree with Oanonicus thai, 

 the timid dogs of the day might be improved by an admixture 

 of this blood. Some years since 1 spent the 'summer in the 

 country, and used to amuse myself by shooting frogs which 

 were very abundant on the banks of a neighboring stream. 

 My dog accompanied mc, dropping to shot at the report of 

 my pistol. He learned to take quite an interest in the frogs, 

 though never ordered to retrieve them, as 1 did OOt Suppose be 

 would take them in his mouth. You can imagine my aston- 

 ishment when he brought a live frog to the house one day, 

 having been down to the stream alone. It was strictly uninl 

 jured. 



Hy duo phobia. — An exchange says : 



Dr. Offenburg, of Munster, claims to have cured a case of 

 hydrophobia by hypodermic injections of curare seven times 

 in four hours, to the amount ot three grains. Symptoms of 

 paralysis ensued, free from convulsions. The recovery was 

 slow. 



[This statement; carries more probability with it than any yet 

 promulgated. Curare is the only drug that has as yet offered 

 the least possibility of success, by mitigating the symptoms. 

 Were we suffering from this dread disorder, we should insist 

 upon the exhibition of this drug hypodermically in doses that 

 would otherwise be fatal, and risk the result.— Ed.] 



—Queen, winner of the Rod and Gun cup for the best 

 brood bitch at Chicago, has whelped eleven dogs and three 

 bitches by S3. B. Dilly's champion Ranger. Five of them are 

 marked alike, and are exactly like their sire, and the balance 

 almost nearly so, being very dark liver and white. All arc 

 strong and healthy, and perfect beauties. S. B. Dillv. 



Names Claimed. — I claim the name of IdaF. for my Rob 

 Roy, Nell bitch, aged three months. The dog for whom I 

 claimed the name of Czar, is, I find, of Leicester Peterel 

 blood, instead of Peeress as stated by me last week. 



P. H. Mokbis. 



— I claim the name of Con for my Red Irish Setter by 

 Miley's imported Buck, out Jerome's (formerly Barlow's) bitch 

 Kelly, not Maud, as per notice of the same from Turf, Field 

 and h\wm of June 8, 1877.) In your last issue I notice that 

 Mr R. LI. Morris claims the name. Granting the right of Mr. 

 Morris to name his dog as he choses, still I thmkl have a prior 

 claim. F. R, Rter. 



—A young man in Lower Gold Hill visited his sweetheart 

 last night, and when he left stole the dog of the. house and got 

 a half dollar for the brute at Marshal McCIeery's canine, asy- 

 lum. A man cannot afford to spend his time for nothing these 

 hard times, not even when courting. — Gold Hill 2S'ews.
