THOUGHTS UPON HUNTING. ^2j; 



would inftantly come to the heels of the huntf- 

 man's horfe : fome years afterwards I hunted fox 

 only, and though I parted with moll of the otherS;, 

 I kept Um: he went out conftantly with the pack, 

 and as hares were fcarce in the country I then 

 hunted, he did no hurt ; the moment a fox was 

 found, he came to the horfe's heels. This continued 

 fome time, till catching view of a fox that was 

 Unking, he ran in with the refl, and was well 

 blooded. He, from that time to the day of his 

 death, was not only as Iteady a hound to fox as 

 ever I knew, but became alfo our very bell finder. 

 I bred fome buck-hounds from him, and they 

 are remarkable for never changing from a hunted 

 deer. 



Your huntfman's weekly return is a very cu- 

 rious one; he is particularly happy in the fpelling. 

 The following letter, which is in the fame ftyle, 

 may make you laugh, and is, perhaps, no un^ 

 fuitable return for your's.
