from i;,e -iii,.ra.rr. v of pointers durihj tie- irst spoitina 

 months, aud from their having been found adequate to ail 

 purposes (where the covere are light) throughout the season 

 has of late years been greatly neglected, insomuch that the 

 well-bred spaniel is now rarely to bi met with: as a proof of 

 this, seldom do we see a whole Utter of puppies likt each

 resemble each other in shape, style of hunting, or last, not 

 least, in strength aud courage. It is an old saying of dogs, as 

 well as horses, that a good dog cannot be of a bad color, nor, 

 as many will infer, a bad sort. It cannot bo denied that in
