FOREST AND STREAM.

tive as a kitten and fully as well broken as any of her older kennel 

 companious. After looking over the dogs I was much Interested 

 in examining the ornithological collection of Mr. Smith's, which 

 comprises our own game birds and other rare English birds shot 

 in this country. The European quail liberated by Mr. Smith have 

 returned to the region in the neighborhood where they were put 

 out, and many have bred. At Hath, Brunswick and Calais, Me., 

 they have been seen and their nests found. This experiment of 

 transplanting the European quail in the United States has proven 

 such a success our game protective associations should follow the 

 example of the enterprising sportsmen of Portland and import a 

 greater number The English Bparrow has multiplied in the 

 United States, why should not the little quail? I saw the nest and 

 «ggs of the first European quail known to have bred in this coun- 

 try in Mr. Smith's collection. 



The moose I wrote you that had been killed this summer in the 

 Moosehead region has created quite a talk here, and the slayer 

 may consider himself lucky if his name is not eventually made 

 known to the authorities by some of the irate sportsmen of Port- 

 land. The caribou illegally billed was shot, I believe, by a New 

 York tourist. While conversing with a lover of the dog and gnn 

 while in Portland regarding the moose killing, be remarked: 

 " Well, aftor all, all you need do ia to give one of the Game War- 

 dens threo or four dollars and he will take you to a moose. Eight 

 dollars a month is not enough wages to keep them interested in 

 thPir duties." There may be truth in this. 



Mayor Senter, of Portland, showed me a famous woodcock dog 

 he shoots over, " one of the old sort," which he called of the Sac- 

 carappa breed. 



I noticed mauy fine collies and not a few well-bred black and 

 tan cockers in Portland, and, when I learned that rnffed grouse 

 and woodcock wore about all the game had iu the reigion around 

 the city, I was not a little surprised. Quail cannot live through the 

 cold weather of Maine winters. Hosto.

A NIAGARA DOG DECISION.— The following case is reported 

 in the Niagara Falls, N. Y., Guzelte. If Niagara sportsmen are lia- 

 ble to lose their valuable dogs in this way it is time that the law- 

 was altered : " The facts in this case were that Hector Campbell, 

 a son of William Campbell, who works the farm of D. J. Town- 

 Bend, on Eighth street, in this village, was informed by his mother 

 that there was a dog in the poultry yard which had killed four 

 young turkeys. Iu attempting to drive him from the yard the dog 

 disputed possession with Mrs. Campbell, whereupon Hector, armed 

 with a levolver, mot the dog face to face in the poultry yard and 

 dipatched him by the third shot rrom his revolver. The dog proved 

 to be a valuable "hunting dog owned by Mr. James Evans, who 

 claimed hiB value to be from |7B to $100. Evans brought a suit 

 for the value of the dog before Justice Sam ways, which was tried 

 on the 10th inst., as before stated. H. N, Griffith appeared for 

 the plaintiff and C. H. Piper, who was the attorney for the de- 

 fendant, being unable to attend from sickness, T. G. Hulett tried 

 the suit for him. The lawyer alleged that the dog of the plaintiff 

 waa a valuable hunting dog ; that the defendant wrongfully aud 

 unlawfully killed said dog and thereby beoame indebted to the 

 plaintiff in the sum of $49. The defence set up waa that the or- 

 ganic law of the village provided that the trustees of 

 the village shall have power aud authority to enact 

 by-laws and ordinances to compel the owners of dogs to have them 

 Becurely muzzled and to authorize their destruction iu default of 

 their being so securely muzzled from June 1 to October 1 of each 

 year ; that the trustees, in pursuance of such organic law, did, in 

 the year 1874. pass an ordinance by which the owners of dogs in 

 the corporation wore compelled to keep thorn securely muzzled 

 from June 1 to October 1 in each year, and on their failure so to do 

 any peraou was authorized to kill such dogs so ruuning at large 

 unmuzzled. The value of the dog waB established by plaintiff. 

 The passage and due publication Of the ordinance was established 

 by the defendant, as also the killing, being within the corporate 

 limits of the village, and that the dog was unmuzzled when killod 

 by the defendant, aud killed August 3. Counsel for tho defendant 

 held the defendant had not only tho right to destroy the dog, but 

 the plaintiff was liable to a penalty of 65 under the ordinance. 

 Counsel for the plaintiff held the law under which the village or- 

 dinance waB passed was unconstitutional and void, as it authorized 



the destruction of plaintiff's property without due process of Mjf, , 

 Defeudant's counsel held that, although the courts have decide 

 that there is property in dogs, yet it. was a qualified properly. 

 which waa not recognized as taxable an other personal prop«tJJ,. 

 but the tax that was imposed on the owners of dogs was nioiffijjr 

 tho nature of a penalty for owning a dog than otherwise, as ftjl 

 tax is by law Bet apart to indemnify from injury done, by theirsps. 

 cies to the personal property of citizens. The judgment of ty 

 Court was no cause for action. Thus a valuable dog has beeu bm- 

 rificed by the owner neglecting to conform to the ordinance r||p 

 ing to tbe muzzling of dogs." 



THE SAGACIOUS BRUTE. 



There was a small terrier called Jaok, 

 Whom the fleas and the Hies would attaok, 

 Till Jack in a rage, 

 The vile itch to assuage, 

 Would scratch all the hair off his back. 

 But Jack was ingenious of mind ; 

 So one eva, in the moonlight reclined, 

 He picked up a fan 

 And invented the plan, 

 Which you see in the cut here designed.

 Editor Forest and Stream : 



As all the Life-Saving Stations upon the Atlantic coast are op 

 to-day aud fully manned for the ensiling season for active opei 

 tions, I am reminded of my quiet unintentional neglect iu o 

 sooner thanking you for tho valuable suggestions contained hit 

 article—" New Fouudlaud Dogs for Life-Saving Stations J 

 your paper of July 14th. 



You have stated the reasons for introducing tho noble anlM 

 into the Life-Saving Service so clearly that little remains to boil 

 on the subject. There is no doubt that the dogs can be train*! 

 perform many useful duties at the stations. They would be « 

 ticularlv valuable as aids to the patrolmen. I am informed taw 

 is difficult to procure a pure blooded "New Foundland,' fl 

 species being indigenous to our continent, should not be allot 

 to become extinct, and no simpler or more efficacious method «J 

 be adopted to prevent this than by entrusting the task to thew 

 of the Life-Saving Service.

VALUABLE DOGS POISONED.— E.. a correspondent, sentfJ 

 the following from the Daily Meruury, of New Bedford, DM 

 and remarkB that the people on the Cape have the reputation j\ 

 shooting and poisoning all the dogs they can that visit I hero. J 

 trust Mr. White will discover thB miscreants aud give them M 

 dose of the law that they will not have change enough le.it to r 

 poison for many a day to come : "Last week Guatavus A, vltm 

 Jr., and Alphouzo Brtilev left Now Bedford, Mass, for the CHH 

 a fox hunt, taking with them a number of valuable dogB. 4H 

 these were three of considerable local notoriety owned bjM 

 White, aud another, the property of James Barnes. ThereBB 

 the hunt was unusually successful, nine raccoons and five W 

 being shot in three days. Last Friday afternoon Mr. White stW 

 for this city and, as he intended to return in a few day», in qflB 

 ancewitha custom followed by him for mauy years, he !■■ 

 doga in tho care of Frank Berais, of West Falmouth, and «■ 

 leaving for home saw that they were safely chained in the JW 

 OuSundavMr. Whito returned to Falmouth and on his airij"- 

 Mr. Bemi's' proceeded at once to the barn, where he to'injjM* 

 two of the dogs belonging to him and the one owned by Mr ±W 

 had just died. A physician in attendance exammed the a "*8M 

 of the animals and found they had been poisoned with sU 7^a 

 placed upon a piece of corned beef. This waa the m^BB 

 discovered from the fact that Mr. White always carnes HUM 

 for his dogs with him and he never uaes corned beef as f°jM 

 them. One of these dogs, named "Doctor," has beeu ui^ 

 White's possession for four years. The price paid at that tin» 

 the animal was $150, but its" value has awce been aonsiderW
