EARLY FISHWAY LAW.— Tho records of the town of Ply- 

 mouth. Mass., contain the following resolurious, adopted at a town 

 meeting, April 22, 1073 : "It was ordered by tho Towne that the 

 ftisb. Called the a'owives bee not hindered by the nulls or otherwise 

 in tlieere goeiug up and they buafferoded water sufficient t" Repair 

 to tho salt water when the fflood Gates are shntt Dowue and that 

 none shall take any such ihah in theiro Going up except for eating, 

 and that the wast gate be Drawn up every night in tlie season the 

 ffish are going up and that butt one ware be made for them 

 theere coming down. And 6erjeant harlow and Jabez howland a. 

 appointed by the Towne to see these orders Respecting the ffish hn 

 Drily executed and p formed." In this, as in mauy other things, 

 the good old New England worthies set an example which their de- 

 scondents may profitably follow.

L^ASHION extends even to the kennel. According to the 

 -*- proverb "Every ilog has his day," and the various breeds 

 eachmturnbyfashionmadepopular. Someyears 

 don were very fashionable, and it was the correct" thing to have 

 black and tan collie at one's heels on all suitable occasions. I be- 

 lieve the Queen first brought this breed into notice. I remember 

 seeing in London a photograph of Her Majesty taken holding a 

 sheep dog by the collar on a chau to have his portrait taken. The 

 picture was a good one, aud to my mind one of the most pleasing 

 I have ever seen of royalty, Tho dog looked a real workman, such 

 aB you may see behind' any drove of sheep iu England; but he would 

 have looked out of place among his brethren of the Park or Picca- 

 dilly—the black and tan, silky coated, silver collared followers of 

 the "upper-ten." 



Bull terriers had their day, and they deserved to be fashionable, 

 but the line here was drawn very fine— no black patched, fighting 

 style of gentlemen had any chance, pure white ' 

 theold-fashioned half aud half dog' was nowhere, 

 ipn in this cas-o was tho cause of great improve: 

 as the style of dog generally seen now show ver 

 dog, although they retain his courage. Small 

 handsome pets, aud besides are always ready ft 

 shape of mischief or fun. 



Dachahunde for a time were all the rage, but,i 

 are gradually goiug out of fashion, for they have really very little 

 to recommend them. A good terrier is much handsomer, and will 

 do anything a dachshund is capable of if we except, the music on a 

 trail, and a beagle is bettor, and in English eyes more suitable for 

 such work. 



Fox terriers are still very fashionable, and they are likely to re- 

 tain first place for some time, being fit for either the field or the 

 drawing-room; fine, bright, active, intelligent, brave little fellows, 

 and their small size and impudence make thorn great favorites with 

 the ladies. 



Pugs are always iu demand, but the scarcity of really good speci- 

 mens prevents them being common. 



Setters and pointers of course are always in general use by sports- 

 men, and are not much affected by fashion, but even here the dif- 

 ferent breeds and strains have each then- day. The. wild Irishman 

 or the Gordon, the Laverack or the English/first one then another. 



St. Bernards and mastiffs have had their' innings, but then' siae 

 will prevent them from ever becoming really a fashionable breed ; 

 a young St. Kernarel educated is like a tamo donkey around a house 

 and can do a deal more mischief. 



The poor Spitz dogs had their day, as it became the notion to im- 

 agine that every canine of this breed must necessarily go mad, aud 

 they were doomed accordingly. I haveknowu lots of these dogs as 

 harmless as pet iambs i^and of about as much use). 



Cockers are having a run just now, and they no doubt will rc- 

 ir.ain r'a vordes Pepae p -..::' in pjipip ij.L'i^i.iiit peed f eoipei i-.l , in- 

 telligent, and last but not least, not too big for the parlor. I am 

 glad to see that a cocker club has at least been initiated, and I wish 

 it every success. I expect as a result to see a great improvement 

 in the breed, at present it is extremely difficult to get any two men 

 to agree as to what a cocker really ought to be like. 



But I must not take up your valuable space with any more about 

 the past fashions, but in a few lines I will try to give my ideas as 

 to the coming breeds in public favor. 



I am a great lover of dogs, and Tery little in the kennel depart- 

 ments of Foiiesi and S-rrtEAM aud similar publications escapes my 

 notice, and by watching the advertisements aud other noticeB one 

 can form an idea as to the turn the fashions are taking. 



Ithiukthe bulldog will shortly come into notice. Already several 

 good dogs have been imported, and the style is improving in the 

 classes atthe dog shows. VeroShaw, who, I suppose, is one of the 

 first authorities on buU dogs, in his "Book of the Dog," p. 401, 

 says : "The bull dog, pure aud simple, is, aa a rule, a harmless, 

 good-natured beast, long suffering aud very slow to anger," A 



well educated bull dog makes a good house dog, as they are quiet, 

 clean, patient with children and alwavs on hand in defenso of their 

 master or friends. 



The English retriever is coming to the frout also, and when bpt- 

 ter known will be greatly liked by Americans. Their haudBOrhG, 

 intelligent appearance aud useful' size must recommend them to all 

 wanting a pleasant companion. 



The beagle, too, will be inquired for In thickly settled districts, 

 where game is ecaiep. lotn of fun can be had with V-agles, cither 

 singly or in packs, and I think the merry, ransical little fellows will

HAVE DOGS AN FXTHA BEHSB ? 



MR. S1MONDS in your bust issue ask- this .pie-lbm and seems 

 to think it should he answered in the altirmative, drawing 

 his conclusion frum the fact thai a faint odor is apparently 

 neutralized by a rank oue to the human <-ense. and from what he 

 states to be a fact that a dog's ability to find a bird bv his noau is 

 not doatroyed bv theefiluvinin lioincninon in which he haa rolled. 

 If the latter were a fact it would still not prove his point, the true 

 deduction being that a dog's nose is so mm h I ett< r tha: 

 that he is capable of distin^u^hiug two odors at the same time 

 aud that a man is not. 1 have for years indulged hi hare shoot- 

 ing, using hounds, and have long noticed that tie dogs ssr< pu; 

 at fault by my presence near the place where the- hare had Jilflt 

 passed, more particularly when the place has been a load dividing 

 the covert, which a bare always crosses with great jumps. If no 

 one is near tho place where the hare droaeed the (leg- will go 

 straight on without stopping, but will hardly ever do so if any oue 

 is standing near, only doing ao when the scent lies particularly 

 well. 1 have always thought the cause or thi- to be the over- 

 powering scent given off by the man. There is no doubt but that 

 a dog's sense of smelling is something that "no tellfftl can under- 

 stand." I am satisfied the dog kuows every odor, distiuguishing 

 the one from the other just as easily as human beincs distiimuish 

 by the eye oue object from another ; but it aiwa; 

 jilct of wonder to me bow a hound so quickly Ii 

 his .piarry has gone. I have often put the dog 

 started them the wrong direction, but alwavs 

 vards at the most, the error i, di.-covc.red. The 

 detect whether the scent gets stronger, r wcakt-r each step. 



I think notonlv is each kind cd odor known, but each animal of 

 the aame genus must nave an odor peenhar- to himself, tor tie 

 hound steadily pursues for instance, the hare he ih>t start:-, 

 notwithstanding the covert is full of others moving about and
