THOSE NERVOUS DOGS.— It is, perhaps, unfortunato for me 

 that in ray article on gun-shy dogs I used the expression, " Few 

 breeders will deny that all bmc-blooderi .logs, the l.arverack setter in 

 particular, are, as a rule, excessively nervous," as it has brought 

 forth an attack from Mr. Arnold Burgee ; and I confess I do not 

 Wish to enter into any newspaper controversy with him. I should 

 have written expressly nn bird dogs, for certainly this was my 

 meaning, and did not intend to include the. Irish and Gordon Bet- 

 ter, or the pointer, unless they were much inbred. I followed my 

 remark by mentioning the Laverock setter, which it is known is 

 greatly inbred, and will not boar correction, a> other breeds do, and 

 tlris T'state on the auiltbrUy of a letter to thai eject on wis subject, 

 front Mr. I.rmrack to myself. 



Mr, Burgee is not to be blamed for defending his blue bloods, 

 but, this attack on meis uncalled for. I will confess, if it will calm 

 him, that I have not bred as many blue bloods as he has. I have 

 shot over as many, and am content to allow my reputation as a 

 judge of tjie work of a dog and capacity as a sportsman, to rest 

 with those who have been in the field with me. 



I do not aspire to be authority, and never intend to write a book 

 on the dog, but do always compile from and comment npou any 

 good work I come across. Mr. Barges certainly cannot charge me 

 with copying a line from bis in my articles, which I ever strive to 

 make practical and of interest to the lover of out-door sports. 



In all kindness 1 would say to friend Barges, whom, by the 

 bye, I have never seen but twice in my life, to attend to those at- 

 "nstability to which he seems to be a martyr, and 

 ing prescription from the writer. Be content with 

 ,d becalm. ttmo.

A Gheat Blue Hbbon.— Newport, R. I., April 4.— Robert 

 Allan, a lad thirteen years old, while gunning at Price's Neck 

 on Saturday last, shot a large heron which measured sis feet 

 from tip to tip. I have never heard of one being shot before 

 at this place. The right heron has three long dark leathers 

 on its head, but. this bird only had two and a very long bill 

 aud legs. Color of back, slate color; wings black; neck a 

 stride lighter. He was shot in the daytime. What is it ? 



J. S. B. 



The bird was no doubt a great blue heron (Ardea Iwrodias), 

 a species quite common in New England, and the largest of 

 our herons.
