More Discoveries. It's strange how many things besides dirt can be dug of the cround. In digging the cellar for Mr Parks Hutchison's new store, soon after the dig ging was begun an old sword was found, and shortly afterwards two tombstones. And Wednesday, about three feet below the na tural surface of the ground, was found a sil ver quarter of a dollar, of the issue ofl853. Shortly after the digging at this place was commenced, a round hole was discovered in the ground. It was found upon digging down that the hole was about eight feet deep and was filled up with all manner of things. It was at first supposed that it was a well which had been dug under the house, but it was not deep enough for this, and what the original object for having the lole there was has not yet boen determined by those who have the mater under consideration. A Mad Dog that Won't Die. The most curious story on record of the tenacity with which an animal can cling on to life, was told us yesterday by reliable men whose ve racity will not be called into question, and who participated in the affair of which we propose to speak : On Wednesday evening a dog which gave every evidence of being mad, was noticed prowling around the yard of the C, C & A R R. He was set upon at once by a party of railroad employees, who, befoie satisfying themselves that-he was dead, fired six pistol shots into his body. The dog, af ter being shot four times, still showed no signs of a disposition to die, and one of the party knocked him down with a rock. Af ter the sixth shot the dog was left for dead, and yesterday morning when they returned to the yard, they found that he had crawled under one of the cars, and was lying there, breathing as if asleep. He was put on a dump and carried off to die, but upon being thrown from the dump jumped up and started to run. He was shot again and stopped, when he had thirteen additional pistol shots and one load from a shot-gun fired into him. In addition to this he was hit six times with the edge of a shovel,' and when the hearts of the men failed them and they left him alone, the dog, though shot and beat literally all to pieces, still had strength left to growl at them as they went off- . . This story is told us by Mr Junius Jami son of the C, C & A R R and Mr Boone, an engineer on the N C-R R, both of whom took a hand in trying to kill the dog and who vouch for the story as true in every par ticular. The dog was shot in every part of the body and in the head, and when left his brain could be seen to move as lie dr?w his their lodce to-night. Visiting brethren are lraternallv invited, apl 17 THOS.
