Laek. — "We call attention to the advertisement in another 

 column of this stud dog, in the hands of Mr. Wanmaker. 

 Though not corning in direct competition, Lark has virtually 

 beaten the best blue bloods in America, as he took the first 

 prize in the largest class ever shown — that of native setters at 

 New York Bench Show — over Bruce and Nip and Tuck. 

 These latter having beaten both Paris and Leicester, lie is 

 the property of Mr. P. H. Morris, of this city.

 the, name of Queenic for bitch puppy, same litter, the property

Crooked Legs in Dogs— How to Cuice.— Take an old 

 boot leg and cut a strip off as long as his leg from the first 

 joint above his toes and wide enough to go around his leg. 

 Make some holes in each side so as to run a piece of cord 

 through and lace quite tight, but not too tight, for if you do 

 it will chafe him. Cut some slits in tbe end of this boot, so 

 it will be quite soft and not chafe his leg while moving 

 around. Examine his leg now and then to see that the boot 

 does not chafe.

Dogs That Suck Eggs. — "Check Cord," of Shrewsbury, 

 N. Y., sends the following remedy for this bad habit : 1 wish 

 to state it is my belief that a judicious use of the whip will 

 do it, but if that fails, place a, charge of gunpowder on the 

 ground, put an egg upon it and lay a train of powder from the 

 charge to a convenient distance, and stand by it with a lighted 

 segar. When the dog is iu the act of taking the egg touch the 

 segar to the train of powder. Information is requested from 

 those trying the above remedy if a second application is needed.

Appaeent Want of Nose.— Although it. sometimes hap- 

 pens that young dogs lack those olfactory powers for which 

 they are so valuable to the sportsman, they should not be con- 

 demned without a fair trial. It often happens that this defect 

 is remedied as the animal advances toward adult age. With 

 dogs that have but just recovered from distemper, this defect 

 is frequently noticeable, but is seldom if ever permanent. 

 During a long drought, when the herbage is in a very diy 

 state, it happens that the keenest nosed animals are frequently 

 unable to hud game. In such case let a second trial be given 

 when the state ot the weather and moisture of the fields will 

 be more advantageous lo the animal. We are confident such 

 will prove satisfactory, 



A beautiful setter pup presented to the writer a few years 

 since, seemed to be absolutely without the faculty of scenting 

 game. Being shut in theofBce one night, in his " high jinks," 

 he overturned a j:!! 1 ad probably nosed the] 



iu the morning he war; found bleeding profusely from 1 he 

 nostrils, ami had evidently been suffering from hemorrhage 

 the greater ptuL of the night, as he was badly ensanguined. 



An examination into the state of affairs showed the leech jat 

 broken, whereupon it was conjectured that some of the rep- 

 tiles had found lodgment in the nose or throat. The result 

 confirmed the diagnosis, two being found attached to the 

 posterior fauces, and three were washed out of I he nostrils, 

 four remaining to be accounted for after those on the lloor 

 wire picked up, They were probably swallowed. The ani- 

 mal recovered, and with the recovery his infirmity disappeared,, 

 Such active treatment is not however recommended. — 1I< 

 Sportsmen's Gazetteer. 



Louisville's HypocnoNDiiLAO Canine.— There is one of 

 the strangest and most singular dogs in this city that we 

 have ever known. He is a medium'size'd yellow' dog, with 

 some long wiry hairs about his muzzle, with unusual reddish 

 looking eyes, as if he had been weeping. He is a waif of un- 

 known parentage and ownership, and no one knows from 

 whence he came and where he sleeps and babttaf.es. He looks 

 about two and a half j r ea,rs old, and as he lias no owner nor 

 home, he goes by the euphonious title of Gutters. He wears a 

 singularly sad and melancholy look, never associates with other 

 dogs, and seems to be overcharged with sorrow. The strang- 

 est and most peculiar trait in his character is his fondness for 

 funerals, and for the last two years not a funeral cortege has 

 passed through the gates of our beautiful cemetery but what 

 has seen Gutters in close attendance. Mr. Hell, the superin- 

 tendent of the cemetery, says that Gutters visits him twice 

 every Sunday, morning and evening, and that it, is. only on 

 Sundays that he deigns to notice him or any of his family, 

 totally ignoring them upon every other day of the week. 

 When spoken to he does not approach you with a wagging 

 tail and cheerful countenance, but seems to accept your atten- 

 tions formally and with a sad air. 



Some malicious person has put out one of Gutters' ej-cs, 

 which gives him a still more sad and melancholy countenance. 

 He seems to visit few places Besides the cemetery, but about 

 7 o'clock every morning he can be seen in front of Mr. Fealh- 

 erston's butcher shop on South Upper Street, wailing for his 

 breakfast. After his moruiug meal he is not seen again dur- 

 ing the day, except there be a funeral, when he is certain to 

 be present and lake his place among the mourners, staring 

 with a vacant and sad look as the. coffin *is lowered to its last 

 resting-place. How he learns when there is to be a funeral 

 we are unable to stale. — Kentucky Lite Stock Record,
