114 GAME FOWLS. 



Mr. De Gruy, of New Orleans, has, it is said, the most 

 extensive and valuable stock of poultry that is kept at the 

 South, and my correspondents from New Orleans speak in the 

 most extravagant terms of the beauty and size of his different 

 breeds, the most of which he had from Dr. Bennett, or through 

 his agency, having previously been very severely " taken in," 

 by unprincipled breeders at the North, some of whom may be 



very properly termed never mind, the term is rather 



severe, and I will spare them.
