PENNSYLVANIA STATE FIELD TKIALS. 



LiNX'ASTER, Pa., Aug.iSth. 

 Editor Forest and Stream :— 



The sportsmen of this city and coiititj^ are anticipating 

 Tvitli much pleasure tlie meeting of tlie. State Field Trial 

 Aasociation, which takes place in tliis city Nov. flth. 

 The ground selected for the trials is se^-eral miles from 

 this city and is highly suitable for the purpose. It is ac- 

 cessible by railroad, and comprises some of the richest 

 land in the count}', while it allords ample cover for the 

 birds, which promise this year to be nnusally plentiful, 

 Our game protective association has interested itself in 

 the matter, and all the indications point to a highly suc- 

 cessful meeting. May the best do.g win. A fe.v d.iys 

 since we were invited by Mr. Geo. Pownall of Christiana, 

 this county, to visit his kennels and see his beagle pup- 

 pies, now about four months old. Twenty-onij of the 

 little beauties were enough to gladden the lieart of any 

 sportsman. Of fine form, beautiful markings, and lively 

 dispositions, they were the ideal of what beagles sliould 

 be. Had our purses been very plethoric we wotild have 

 bought the entire lot and run them as a pack, but as it is, 

 we modestly contented ourselves with a pair. With 

 these we hope, on some crisp October or November 

 morning, to waken the hills of the Octoraro with music, 

 doubly delightful to the ear of the ardent sportsman. 



CONESTOGA. 



We have heard Mr. Pownall's kennel highly spoken of. 



PLAIN WORDS ABOUT DOG MURDERERS. 



North Andovek, Mass,, Aug, IQlli. 

 Editor Forest and Stream : — 



The black Eaglish setter advertised for sale in your 

 paper by E. Elwell, being dead, you will oblige me bv 

 stating that fact in the columns of your vaJueei journaf, 

 which will explain to numerous correspondents, who still 

 continue to telegraph and write frotn all parts of the 

 country, the reason why they get no answers to tlieir 

 questions and generous otl'ers. I commenced to answer 

 tliem by ra:ii!, but they ai-e coming in so thick and fa.st 

 tliat I jiiust appeal to you to say dead dog for me. It 

 seems tliat a venomous sneak is the owner or poss&ssor 

 of a miserable pot metal gun, with which he has been 

 ruthleaaly shooting any iind every kind of bird which 

 came near enough his shop for him to reach with his in- 

 fernal blunderbuss. When a bird lights, if no one is 

 near, bang goes the oli.l gun, which none but a fool would 

 shoot at all, and the luckless bird falls, or more likely 

 flies aw.ay to die a lingering death, and sulfer perhaps a 

 thousand deaths, and leave a, negt of poor young birds to 

 starve and die. Aftei finding this sort of game growing 

 scarce in this vicinity, this brute then commenced on 

 neighbors' cats and pigeoPs, but the former proved too 

 tenacious of life, and the latter soon grew too gamy for the 

 bungler, and his brutish nature was not satistietl by see- 

 ing a cat crawl off on two legs with its back brokeii bj-^ a 

 s|)ike from his gun, or a pigeon fly or run out of bis 

 roach with a legor wing broken. NotLing but de ith, the 

 more ghastly the better, could satis 'y his heudish Jtature : 

 and he has paid cash to become a citizen in a free coun- 

 try. List week as a Taluable setter dog, the property of 

 Gr. W. Edwards, was passing his shop, this inhuman rep- 

 tile sent a charge of iron bolts and nails plowing and cut- 

 ting through the poor anitual'e ears, nose and jowl, into 

 his bead and Bhouklers, .mangling hun in the most hor- 



rible manner. In this condition the poor dog crawled 

 home, and who can imagine the feelings of his master as 

 he brought out the gun, tlie very sighfof which in ilays 

 gone by set the noble animal Iwunding with jny. to Pi'id 

 by a well directed aim liis terrilile sufferincs ?" Or avIio 

 can ima.gine a being of man's image, so despicable as to 

 commit such a diabolical outrage ? The dog was well 

 known as remtirkably intelligent, well trained, and per- 

 fectly peaceable, never known to do injury to any per- 

 son or thing, antl he was advertised for saIe"to makeroom 

 for a high bred Gordon bitch, from llie wcll-l,-nown ken- 

 del of Mr. E. C. Alden, Dedham, JLiss., wliicli name is 

 sufficient guarantee for a strioth' first-rl.iss doir. as every 

 one who has been fortunate ciiougli t-i olit.'^iiii a d.v,- from 

 him will testify. His metliod of breeding lias' bpon 

 learned by careful study and long experience, and in 

 breaking, tliesame e.\perience and oiisei-vatiiHi as a thor- 

 ough sportsman and gentleraao enal.ile liiiii to know 

 what is required of a dog, and just Iiow to breed and traiti 

 to meet those rcquii-ements. Witli thanks for all would- 

 be purchasers, and hopes of better success in the future, I 

 beg to snbscnl;e tuTself a friend to all true sportsiiien.

[ENGLISHE DOGGES* 



The fourth Section of this 

 difcourfe. 



Doggesof a Course Kind seruing for many Necessary uses, 



called in Latine Oanes Rustivi, and first of the 



shepherds dogge, called in Latino 



Cams Pastoralis.

 necis.sarye and profitable for the auoj'ding of harmes 

 and inconuenieiices which may come to men by the 

 means of beastcs. The second sort serue to succour 

 ■against tlie snares and attemptes of mischiefous men. 

 Our she]dierdes dogge is not huge, vaste, and bigge, but 

 of an indifferent stature and growth, because it hath not 

 to deale with the- bloudthyrsty wolf, sythenco there be 

 none in England, which happy and tortunate beiufite is 

 to be ascribed to the puisaunt Prince i^Jo't/a)', who to thin- 

 tent y' the whole countrev^ myght be euacuated and 

 quite clered from wolfes, cliarged & cnramauiided the 

 welsheme(who were pestered withthe.se butclierly beastea 

 aboue measttre) to paye hini^ yearely triliute which was 

 (note the wisedome of the King) three hundrrd wr,]fps 

 Some there be which write tliat Lichciill Priiire of 

 Wales paide yeerly to King Edgar three hundred wulves 

 in the name of an exaction (as we haue sayd before.) And 

 that by the meanes hereof, within in the compasse and 

 tearme of foure yeares none of those uoysome, and pesti- 

 lent Beastes were left in the coastes of England and 

 Wales. This Edgar wore the Crown royall, and liare the 

 Scepter imperiall of this kingdome, about tlio yeere of 

 our Lorde nyne hundred fifty, nyne. Synce whi'cli time 

 we reede that no Wolfehath bene scene in England, bred 

 within the bounds and borders of this countrey, mary 

 there have bene diners brought ouer from boyonde the 

 seas, f(» greedynesso of gaine and to make money, 

 for gasing and gaping, staring, and standing to see tliem, 

 being a straunge beast, rare, and seldom scene in Eng- 

 land. But to returiie to our shepherds dogge. This 

 dogge either at the hearing of his masters voyce, or at 

 the wagging and whistelingin his fist, or at his slirill and 

 horse hissing bringeth the waudring weathers and stray- 

 ing sheepe, into the selfe same place wliere his masters 

 will and wishe, is to haue the, wherby tlie shepherd 

 reapeth his bene>fite, namely, that with iitle labour .and 

 no toyle or mouing of his feete he mtiy rule and guide 

 his flocke, according to his owne desire, either to haue 

 them go forward, or to stand still, or todrawe backwartl, 

 or to turne this way, or to take that \%ay. For it is not 

 in Englande, as it is in Frauiice, as it is in Flnunders, as 

 it is in Syria, as it in Tartaria, where the sheepe follow 

 the shepherd, for heere in our country the sheepheril fol- 

 loweth the sheepe. And sometintes the striving slieepe, 

 ■when no dogge runneth before them, nor goeth jibout & 

 beside them, gather theraselues together in a flocke, 

 when they heere the sheepherd whistle in lits fi„t, for 

 feare of the Dogge (as I imagine) remetnbnng this (if vn- 

 reasonable creatures may be reported to liaue memory) 

 that the Dogge conimoiily runneth out at bis masters 

 warrant which is his whistle. This haue we oftentimes 

 diligently marcked in taking our journey from tos^iie to 

 towne, when wee haue hard a sheepherd whistle we haue 

 rayneti in our horse and stood styll a space, to see the 

 proofe and triall of this matter. Furthermore witli this 

 dogge doth the sheepherd take sheepe for y' slaughter, 

 and to be healed if they be sicke, no hurt or harms in the 

 world done to the simple creature. 



Of the mastiue or Pjaiidoggo called in Latine 

 ViUaticus or CatJieinirius. 



THis kinde of Dogge called a ma,styne or Btindogge 

 is vttste, liuge, slublKirne, ougly, and eager, of 'a 

 heuy and burthenous Vicid}', and therefore but of Iitle swift- 

 nesse, terrible, and frighlfull to beholde, and are more 

 fearce and fell then any Arcadian cui-re (notwitlistading 

 they are sayd to haue their generation of the violent 

 Lion.) Tliey arc called Viltatv-i, because they are ap- 

 poynted to walche and keepe farme places and coiitry 

 cotages sequestred from commo recour.se, and not abut- 

 ting vpon other houses by reason of distaunce, when 

 there is any feare oonceauedof theefes, r.ibber.s, sjieivlers, 

 and niglit wanderers. They are seruieeable ag:i,iiitt the 

 Foxeand the Badgar, to drive wildo and tameswyne 

 out of Medowes, pastures, glebelandes and jdaees planted 

 with fruite, tobayte and take the bull by tlie eare, when 

 occasion so requiretb. One dogge or two at the vtter- 

 most, sufficient for that purpose be the bull neuer so 

 monsterous, neuer so fearce, neuer so furious, neuer so 

 stearne, neuer ,'>;i \ntaii\eable. For it is a kinde of dogge 

 capeable of courage, violent and valiaunt, striking could 

 feare into the liarts of men, but standing in feare of no 

 muchthtitno weapons will make lurashrinuke,
