The Pictttbe Gauges.* — This promises to be a very Inter- 

 esting feature of tho Bench Show. Already a large number 

 of gentlemen have loaned valuable paintings, and the commit- 

 tee will foel greatly indebted to any others who will con- 

 tribute. Messrs. Shaw Bros, have kindly offered tho ser- 

 vices of their foreman and draymen, who will collect the 

 pictures, hang them and return them. They will be in- 

 sured against fire. Mr. Lincoln can be addressed on the sub- 

 ject. 



The Catalogue. — The catalogue will be very oomplete,and 

 extremely valuable as a book of reference. As there are 

 doubtless many of our readers who would like to have them, 

 we have niado arrangements by which we can forward copies 

 to our applicants post-paid upon receipt of the prioe, fifteen 

 cents.

Railway Arrangements. — Wo print in this issue fac-simile 

 copies of all tho letters received from the different railways 

 with regard to carrying dogs to and from the show free of 

 charge, except that of the New York Central and Hudson 

 River Bailroad, which was so much blurred in going through 

 the copying press that it was impossible to reproduce it. If 

 any charge should be made for dogs when accompanied by 

 their owners on this road, if reported to the Bench Show 

 Committee, the matter will be placed before the road au- 

 thorities,

Death op Kathleen. — It is with great regret that we read 

 the death of Mr. William Jarvis' splendid red Irish setter 

 bitch Kathleen. The sad event happened on the morning 

 of the 27th ult. In the morning she was full of lif o, activity 

 and strength, and at night she was dead, Mr. .Jarvis does 

 not state the cause of her death. We can join feelingly in 

 hia regrets, as we were to have had one of Kathleen's next 

 litter by Elcho, but our loss is but trivial compared with his, 

 for he loved her as the apple of his eye. Farowoll, Kathleen ! 



A- Doo Story.— A correspondent writing from Foxbnrg 

 Va., under date of April 23d, sends us the following story, 

 for the troth of which he vouches: 



"A spaniel bitch of mine had a litter of seven pups— three 

 dogs and four bitches. Yesterday the four bitches were 

 drowned and buried. The dam, as soon as the burying was 

 finished, dug them up, took one pup and buried it in another 

 place, digging a hole for it and then covering it. This she 

 did with' each pup. I never heard of such a thing before. 



Wm. D. F."

— Mr. Geo. G. Poyner, of Clinton, Iowa, writes us that his 

 red Irish-Gordon bitch, Fan (formerly E. F. Stoddard's), 

 whelped on the morning of the 20th inst. eleven fine pup- 

 pies; color, Ted; seven dogs, fouT bitches; all doing well; sire, 

 Arnold Burges' red Irish setter, Rufus. 



—On April 23d Mr, L, B. Cassard's Maggie, black and tan 

 Gordon, whelped five puppies, four dogs and one bitoh, sired 

 by Jerome's Shot. Maggie was highly commended at the 

 Baltimore show in the very good class of Gordon bitches. 



—Mr. S. B. Dilly's fine pointer bitoh, Royal Fan, visited 

 his Ranger on the 8th ult. This will bring the lady in a con- 

 dition which will somewhat affect her symmetry during the 

 bench show, but we have no doubt the judges will appre- 

 ciate her condition. 



— Mr. 3. E. Fisher's Gordon setter bitch, Border Lily, vis- 

 ited Dr. H. F. Aten's Gordon dog, Glen, on tho 26th and 

 27th ult. 



No .Votlre Taktn of Anonymous Communication?, 



Canine-ioot, Park Row.— What breed of dogs is a West 

 Pointer? Ana. It is difficult to say positively; probably a 

 strain from the original "dogs of wai" that were let slip. 



TV. a. M., Chattanooga, Tenn — Your picture la an admirable repre. 

 sentation of the clapper rail, Ra'Jus tonffirotirtti Wo recognized the 

 bird at tho first glance, Sorry that we oaa't reproduce the drawing. 



E. It., Philadelphia.— Will you|please lefme knowlf there Is any person, 

 in Philadelphia who giveB lessons In tying or dressing (lies V Acs, You 

 can ascertain by Inquiring of John Krlder, Second and Walnut streets, 

 Mr. Thad Norris used to instruct, 



Ctmions, Fort Johnston, N. O.— In your Issue of April 10th I notico 

 that Mr. John Blakely, of Philadelphia,, is reported having caught a 

 drum-flsh with rod and reel, Willyou please inform mo what flies, if 

 any, were u«od ?— Ana. Possibly Mr, Blakely will answer, We cannot. 



Hell Gate, Now York.— It is said that shad roa Is a good bait for tak- 

 ing spring atrlpod bass, Where is it to ho bought, how is itused, etc.? 

 — Ans. You can get all tbashad roo you want at tho markets. Put it 

 Into a Btrip of mosquito netti lg and wind it around tho hook, shank 

 and all. 



Jacobus, Frankfort, Ky.-, Wo notloe in your remarks on rides last 

 week you speak of Hawlon's rifle, Will you oblige ns with further in- 

 formation, as we never heard of such a gun?— Ans. Alas I we need an 

 oracle to explain the apparent enigmas that the printers cause ns to 

 present to our readers . We wrote "Hawkins' Klfle." 



R. E. 8„ Newark.— I am looking for a fine red Irish settor dog, pup 

 preferred. Would tho coming bench show be the place for me to look? 

 What would bo tho prioo of such a dog throe or four months old?— Ana, 

 You will undoubtedly find one to suit you at tho bench show, as there 

 will be a largo number on salo, There will also bo an auction on tha 



0. L. J., Philadelphia.— 1st. I have a sotter bitch whioh has constant 

 running at the eyes. Will you please tell me in your next edition what 

 will cure her! 3. What is the best thing I can procure to remove fleas 

 from dogs. Ans. 1st. If there is inflammation present and the eye is blood- 

 shot and oversensitive to light, apply the following lotion with a small 

 sponge four or five times a day: Sulpb. zinc 12 grains, wine of opium 

 3 drachms, distilled water enough to make 6 ounces, mix. 2d. We have 

 found Stoadman's Flea Powder to be an unfailing remedy for fleas. 



A. G. N., floboken There are several of your Hoboken readors who 



would be pleased to hear something in regard to the fish of the Hnd- 

 i, their habits, when In season, bast bait and books to use, etc. Hope 

 you will give us the desired information in an early number.— Ans. The 

 fish caught in the Hudson Rivor are shad, striped bass, tom-cods, 

 weakflsb, lafayettes, young bluaflsh, white perch, sturgeons, flounders 

 eels and occasionally herrings. There are trout and pickerel in tho 

 upper stream. Hallock's forthcoming work on the Game and Fish of 

 North America will toll you of their habits and modes of capture. 



Constant Rkadeb, Nashville, Tenn.— 1st. Is there good hunting and 

 trapping in Southwestern Colorado? 2d. What animals are there? 3rt, 

 Are there many streams about there? ith. Are there any Indian res- 

 ervations there? 5th. Are there many persons trapping there? — Ans. 

 1st. Yes, excellent hunting and fair trapping. 2d. Buffalo, antelope, 

 red-tailed deer, mountain sheep, bears, wolves, and foxes of dlfferont 

 varieties, jack rabbits, beavers, otters, etc., with grouse and wild fowl 

 of many species. 3d. Yes. 4th. There la a reservation in Western 

 Colorado of 14,784,000 acres occupied by friendly Indians, mostly of 

 the Ute tribe. 5th. Wo cannot say. 



J. F. B.,Hackensack.— 1st. After a light snow of two inches a path 

 was observed runniug out from a stone wall and along parallel to it 

 for thirty or forty yards, then across the road and along beside the wall 

 alike distance, when it disappeared. The track was as smooth and 

 about aB largo as if made by a broom-handle. It was (he only mark to 

 ba seen on the snow in the morning. What made that traek? 2. Do 

 Bnakes ever leave their beds to pass over snow ? — Ans. 1st. It would be 

 impossible to say what it was without seeing the track. Probably it was 

 made by one of the shrews. Their feet are so small that the foolmarks 

 might easily be overlooked. 2d. We think not. 



G. H. R„ Gainesville, Texas.— On the litk I saw a red cockadea 

 woodpecker IP. borculis) evidently destroying tho nest of the downy 

 woodpecker {P.pubtsceus). Ho was onlarging the hole so as to get into 

 the eggs, as I supposed, from the cry of distress and the actions of the 

 small birds. The neBt was inaccessible. Is this common with that 

 family ? — Ans. We do not know that the woodpeckers are givon to de- 

 stroying bird's nests. Is it not probable that tho P. borcalis may have 

 simply appropriated the uost of his smaller cousiu for his own purpo. 

 seB, and thus not have had any direct design against its contents? Wa 

 should be glad to know if the usurper bred in the holo which you saw 

 him enlarging. 



Subscribeb, Philadelphia.— I have a beagle hound, Ave months old , 

 that for the past two or throo days has had the following symptoms: 

 Vomiting, restlessness, lying down to go to sleep, and then, after a few 

 moments, getting up and trying another place; he also moans (or 

 whines), and twitches in his sleep. To-day he seems inclined to hunt 

 up dark places, and has lost his appetite.— Ans. Your puppy probably 

 has worms. Give him twenty grains of powdered areca nut iu tbrea 

 doses two hours apart; three hours after tho last doso givo half an 

 ounce of castor oil. If you do not find tho mjt in Philadelphia, you 

 can procure it ready prepared from W. Holberton, 102 Nassau Bfreet, 

 tbiscity, dividing tho doses he sends, 



Kennel, Westfleld, Mass.— Will you please advise mo what to do with 

 the following oase; Setter pup, seven months old, has a tape-wormi 

 gave him areca nut as directed, without giving bim any food. After 

 giving him tha secoud powder he vomited it up; two hours later gava 

 him tho third; soon after he passed about twelve foot of the worm 

 without the head. When shall I givo him areca nut again, and what 

 shall I feed him while dosing him? Will not Roohello salts answer ns 

 well as castor oil? Both tho areca nut and castor oil seam to make him 

 sick,— Ans. Wb should givo him the areca nut again, but not on an 

 ompty stomach, nor yet immediately after feeding. The diet should 

 be laxative without being too much so; say dated Indian meal (corn 

 broad), You might use tho Rochelle salts Instead of the oil. 



Nemo — 1st. What ik your opinion of conical base shell*? 2d. Your 

 theory in regard to them? 3d. Do Parker or Remington make guns 

 with two sets of barrels (10s and 12s)? 4th. Whore can I proouro a pup 

 of tha breed known as "Chesapeake retrievers," and ooBt? 5th. Is 

 there a plant caUed the Cobra Head? 6th. What is tho proper pronun- 

 ciation of toe name JuleB Verne, the popular author; is it a nom de 

 plum* ? 7lh. Are the volumes of Herbert's workB printed by PeterBou 

 iBro. all bound in cloth, and can you furnish thom at givon price, 

 75cts. per vol.?— Ans. 1st. We have never used them. 2d. That they 

 secure more equal and rapid ignition. 3d. Yos, when bo or- 

 dered. 4th, At tho ooming New York Bench Show. 5th. Yob. 6th. 

 Jules Verno; itis not an assumed name. 7th. No; those sold at 75cts. 

 are bound in paper, and you will have to write to Messrs. Peterson 

 Bros, for them. 



Undoubtedly one of the best and cheapest stocks-of Carpotings, Oil- 

 Cloths, Matline, etc., etc., to be found in tho United Stales is that of 

 Messrs. John H. FitAY, Sons &, Co., Washington Street, Boston. I, W. 

 Adams is the sportsman of the firm, and will take special pniun to please
