•Sherman & Co., Printers, Philadelphia. 



A singular incident occurred on the premises of a 

 gentleman residing near Philadelphia. His barn and out- 

 houses were swarming with rats, and to exterminate them 

 he procured a pair of good terrier dogs. Last week one of 

 them captured a rat of extraordinary size, which he pro- 

 ceeded to shake in a manner that would have soon terminated 

 its existence ; but at this critical period two cocks appeared 

 on the scene of battle and attacked the dog so ferociously as 

 to compel him to release his hold upon the rat and flee for 

 his life ; meantime the rat made good his escape. 



SECOND ANNUAL GREAT NATIONAL DOG 

 SHOW, AT COL. WOOD'S MUSEUM. 



The Dog Show just closed at the Museum in this city has 

 been more successful than the one held one year ago. It 

 was opened on Monday, March 16th, and the dogs were 

 judged during the week, the prize dogs being kept on exhi- 

 bition until the 28th. As far as the show was concerned, it 

 was a perfect success, there being one hundred and twent}'- 

 six entries, and over one hundred dogs offered that could 

 not be accommodated. Had the show been properly adver- 

 tised, as some of our leading poultry shows are, it would 

 have brought many more visitors from a distance than it 

 did. The following is a list of premiums as awarded:

CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SHOW. 



The last Crystal Palace Show is thought to have been the 

 largest and best arranged show ever held in any country, 

 thanks to the indefatigable exertions of a hard-working com- 

 mittee. The poultry alone mustered 2200 pens, the pigeons 

 1200, and the rabbits 150. Two of the judges announced 

 on the schedule, namely, Messrs Hewitt and Tegetmeier, 

 were unable to officiate through illness; but Capt. Heaton 

 acted in the place of Mr. Hewitt ; and Col. Stuart Wortley, 

 than whom there could be no better authority, kindly offered 

 to take the French breeds in the place of Mr. Tegetmeier. 

 The other judges were Messrs. Teebay, Dixon, and J. H. 

 Smith. 



In the colored Dorkings the cocks formed a good class, 

 the first and second prize cocks being in beautiful condition. 

 The hens were good, many being very first-rate in quality. 

 In cockerels the first-prize bird was a splendid fellow, the 

 second also remarkably good. The pullets were not equal 

 in quality to the hens. The cup and second prize went to 

 Mrs. Arkright. 



Silver-gray Dorking cocks were good; Mr. Raines may 

 well be proud of the cup cock ; he is a splendid bird. In the 

 hens, Mr. Cresswell's first and second-prize birds were re- 

 markably good. The cockerels were good, but the pullets, 

 with the exception of the prize bird, were indifferent. 



The Buff Cochin cocks were good, but not numerous. In 

 buff hens Mr. Taylor's cup bird was far in advance of the 

 others. The best class of Cochins in quality were the buff 

 cockerels. Mrs. Tindal exhibited two wonderful perfect 

 birds in this class, but one of them was amiss, apparently 

 from cold.
