NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
Sept. 27.—That great work, the Darling- 
ton and Stockton Railway, was formally 
opened by the proprietors. It is a single 
rail-way of twenty-five miles in length. 
A person residing in Gilligate, at Durham, 
has a dog-fox, which he has brought to a 
remarkable state of tameness. It will fawn 
about, and follow the son (who has indulged 
it not a little) precisely asadog would. He 
is sometimes hunted in a large garden, when 
he exhibits a surprising degree of alertness, 
and seems to take delight in the sport.
