FOREST AND STREAM. 



A Sagacious Dog. — A gentleman from 

 St. Hilaire, in the city to-day, states that on 

 Saturday, the 26th, during the regatta at 

 the Iroquois House, St. Hilaire, an old wo- 

 man, a native of the place, witnessed the 

 races, when suddenly she disappeared. No 

 attention was paid to her absence until 

 about 8 p. m.,- when her friends got 

 alarmed, and soon the mountain was beaten 

 by over sixty people in search of her. 

 They did the same all Sunday and Mon- 

 day, but to no purpose, when the pro- 

 prietor of the hotel volunteered to lend his 

 retriever, and accompanied by about fifty 

 men they proceeded to the lake. Having 

 made the dog take scent from some of the 

 missing woman's clothing, he ran about six 

 miles when he discovered a shawl which 

 was the old woman's. The dog then turned 

 back and went to the lake and was 

 calkd away several times, in order to 

 make him eearch the bush, but of 

 no avail. He persisted in running to 

 the beach— to the same spot. The 

 dog then howled and rushed back into 

 the bush, but it was thought he was 

 out of his reckoning, and they all returned 

 home. On Wednesday they searched again, 

 and at 1 p. m. the woman was discovered 

 sitting on a log about half a mile from 

 where the dog had tracked her to the lake, 

 and where he had afterwards wished to go. 

 The old woman was quite well and hearty, 

 and said she had been three times to the 

 lake shore at the spot where the dog had 

 been to get a drink. She is about 70, and 

 had been without food from Saturday at 7 

 a. m. until Tuesday at 5 p. m., three days 

 eleven hours. — Toronto Globe. 



— We recently heard of a good joke per- 

 pretraled by a Chemung county Jarrner, a 

 member of the Elmira Farmer's Club. He 

 had been greatly bothered by hunters from 

 the city who had entered his woods with a 

 perfect abandon and slaughtered the squir- 

 rels in great numbers. One day he procur- 

 ed two or three squirrels, took them to a 

 taxidermist and had them stuffed. He then 

 took them to his wo;>ds and nailed them 

 fast to the limbs of as many trees, in such 

 a way that they could be easily seen by the 

 hunters. How much powder and lead has 

 been wasted on those squirrels it is impos- 

 sible to tell, but many a good marksman 

 has wondered why he could not bag the 

 game. The old farmer has doubtless many 

 a hearty laugh at the discomfiture of the 

 hunters. We are not sure that we ought to 

 have let the secret out, but the joke is a lit- 

 tle too good to keep. — Havana Journal. 



— The worthy father presents his son, as a 

 reward of merit for his progress at school, 

 with a handsome gun, and allows the boy 

 to make one of the hunting party. The 

 ingenious youth espies a hare, fires at it, 

 but, horror of horrors! his father, who has 

 stooped to pick up a bird, rifes at the very 

 moment right in the line of fire, and is 

 peppered . The boy casts down his fowling- 

 piece aud bursts into an agony of tears. 

 They console him by representing that the 

 author of his being fortunately wore buck- 

 skin breeches and escaped absolutely un- 

 harmed. 'It is not that," sobs the heart- 

 broken child: "If he had not been there 

 I'd have killed the hare!" — Paris Figaro. 



HURST'S 



Stereoscopic Studies 



OF 



Natural History 



FOR OBJECT TBACHING IN SCHOOLS 



And 



PARLOR ENTERTAINNENT. 



We are prepared to famish the first sixty numbers of 

 the first series of 



Animals and Birds of North America. 



To these will be added a second series of foreign 

 specimens, and various animals and birds in grotesque 

 attitudes, never, however, violating their natural in- 

 stincts. 



We offer these views, not as pictures only, but as 

 studies from nat ure. One of the great moving ele- 

 ments in our modern sys f em of education ;s object 

 teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 

 transfers the animals and birds from their natural 

 habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside 

 of our homes, where they cannot fail to have a last- 

 ing impression of the form, color, habits, and local- 

 ity of each specimen. 



An experience of more than twenty-five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Nat- 

 ural History, and in gathering his large collection of 

 native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 

 combine in every view the locality of the specimen, 

 with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and col- 

 oring from the originals.
