 Wheu the eartli was sought for safety after onlv thirty min- 

 utes of fun, 1 examined his hole and discovered that I could 

 easily reach him, but preferring to save him for more sport 

 did not attempt it. On the llth of August, the race was re- 

 peated and differing in one essential "from tJuH of the <)th ; 

 but on the 13th of Anghst, starthig as before, ! eie-Mi.nt^rcd

 dogs joined in the chase and aided in its favoralile lermina- 

 tiou. Kvery oilier morning wilh no intermission I have been 

 In the field, and each day was a repetition of the preceding 

 with one (.'Aception, when 1 put a red to earth who stealthily 

 crept out at a lower hole from the one he entered and made 

 his escape. On Ihe (ith of September I was again in the 

 (icld iiiid on the same grouruf. As before I strirck a lively 

 ti'ail anri soon had vh:it proved to be a very old male rcdonhfs 

 feet, lie dashed off up the Hoan<.ike some distance in ad- 

 vance of his pm-suers for three miles into the Eaton estate 

 and above Ealon's Ferry. There he doubled back, ptissedme 

 in double ouiekl ml evidently distressed, and right upon his 

 heels came lliiinderlng dowp the whole pack "in full view. 

 The f'V m;iir;tie'l nt;,. -i .rj-ey; the second instance 1 haveever 

 Wbni . 'I ' ^ I ; , I red, but in an in.stant kept his di-

to ri.'!H 1 1. ; ■ I 1^ ;i ly large and very old fo.v, and did not 

 perform as well as is usual wdth red foxes of his age and size. 

 Indeed the yoimg reds, those I have been putting to etu-th this 

 season, e.veelled him. 



On Friilay, the l~th of Septemlier, as heretofore, I again 

 weid oul. 1 had the holes closed intending to let my pack 

 have somi^ lilood, which every huntsmtm knows gi;eatly in- 

 creases their vim and eagerness. _ 1 staj'ted as usual near the 

 same jioint a young rctl who being closely piressed from the 

 Start attempted logo to earth in a few minutes, but finding 

 the doors closed made off do\\m the Roanoke for a mile, and 

 on its Ijanks found safety in a beaver den. I could hem Red- 

 bird, Fiuiey and Faimy distinctly some ten or more yards in 

 the hole, but i|nite near the fox." I would not attempt to dig 

 for him, but blew my horn and left the fox and hounds in the 

 bole. I shall have that retreat closed by IMonday, Septendier 

 20, at which long lad'ore dawn I cxjject to be out and after 

 him. It is very warm and dry, in fact, un.suited for the 

 sport ; but uevcrthelesa I must venture. ' T. G. T.

A. Sad Aooideht. — A lameutable accident occurred week 

 before last in New .Jersey, which resulted in the death of a 

 Valuabile jjointer dog. The circumstances, which were pecu- 

 liiarly distressing, are as follows: iVIr, K., the owner of the 

 •dog, with a comijauion, had been shooting, and had killed 

 several birds, A bevy having been Hushed Mr, K, killed two 

 WrclS with one barrel, and after loading, the dog was sent to 

 fetch the birds. As he approached with one of I hem, bis 

 .rftuster took a few steps forwiird, and I'atcliing his foot in a 

 gra.pevine, fell forward upon his gun. The stock was brokeu 

 mid tlu5 gim discliarged, the entire charge passing through 

 the dog. which was now within a few feet of his master. 

 The brave animal, without uttering a sound, continued to 

 advance, dropped the bird at his master's feet, licked his 

 hand, looked up into his face with an expression of fondest 

 affection, and fell over dead. 



Pointers vs. Settees at A'inoejtnbs. — All those who 

 have shot in the sotilhern part of the tliree iStates— Indiana, 

 lUiiiois and Missoiui — know that the sheep-burr is a great 

 drawback to the sport. Setters that are well feathered are 

 crippled within a few hours if not properly sheared or 

 trimnied before taking the field, and then they are liable to 

 take cold. We have found from experience that a moderately 

 coarse haured pointer is the most killing dog for these stictions.
