HHUEDT FOR THE IllTE OF A MAD DOO. — As tllO Cry 
of mad dog lms been raised, tho following may he worthy a 
re-perusal “ A Saxon forester, named Gnatell, now of the 
venerable ago of 82, unwilling to take to the grave with him 
n secret of so much import, has made public in the Leipsic 
Journal the means which ho had used for fifty years, and 
wherowlth ho affirms ho lias rescued many human beings 
and caltlo from tho fearful death of hydrophobiu. 1 oke 
immediately warm vinegar or tepid water, wash llio wound 
clean llicrowitli, and thou dry it ; pour then upon the 
wound a few drops of muriatic acid, bocausc mineral acids 
destroy the poison of the saliva, by which means tho evil effect 
of tho latter is neutralised.”

Biped Brutes. — (From the Toronto Old Countryman.) 
It bus for somo time been whispered about Toronto Hint 1 ho 
brutal amusemonU (?) of cock-fighting and dog-fighting 
were carried on hero to some oxtont. We could not bring 
ourselves to bolievo that wo had among us such brutes and 
cowards. Tho city papers have even gone furthor, nnd 
stated, that tho very parties to whom nrn committed tho 
duties of preventing such outrages, nnd causing tho persons 
attending thorn to bo summoned and punished, were among 
tho lookors-on nnd oncouragers of this shameful scene. 
Even moro than this lms been said ! — that some individuals 
who represent tho citizons of Toronto in tho Council 
Chamber were spectators ! Wo know that impudent charges 
of this kind aro sometimes made; but they are generally 
contradicted. We have waited long enough, without any 
such abnegation ; and wo can only say, if such porsons, 
forgetful of their duties, their example, and their oaths, 
were present, and are not named, in order that tho innocent 
may not bo implicated in tills abominable charge, that tho 
Hooner they oxchango tho crest and mol to of Toronto the 
belter.

A BUFFALO ATTACKED BY A TIGER. "AN UNCONGENIAL SPRING.” 
THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON WITH THE BLACK- 
MOOR VALE FOXHOUNDS. 
This was indeed a glorious finale— a day (in the sports- 
man's calendar) which few who were fortunate enough to 
witness it will ever forget. On Saturday last the meet 
was nt tho celebrated Stock Wood, the property of one ot 
l lie kindest and most liberals patron of the “noble science,” 
Mr. Yoalman, a place and name sufficiently attractive to 
draw together a very largo fiold from far and near, graced 
l,y tho assemblage of several carriages containing the olito 
of tlio fair sex from tho surrounding neighbourhood, who 
seemed to lulu- a lively interest in tlio animated scene. 
Scarcely had tlio eager pack dashed into covert, than 
a cheery “holloa" proclaimed thntroynard was at home, and a 
brace of foxes broke away ut the same moment. Sottling to 
one, which proved to bo a dog fox, ho boro away in tlio 
direction of Slock House, nnd across tho Cnundle River to 
Holivoll ; and Ihonee away by Bishop’s Caundic, and over 
tlio rivor for Lauo’s Gorso, whore they ran into him after a 
hot chase of one hour ami fivo minutes. 
The worthy lord of the soil now invited us to try the woll- 
kmiwn covert of llooktsmoor, which having been already 
drawn little moro than a week before, causod doubts in 
many as to tho probability of a find. Howover, hopes and 
fears wore spoedilysot at rest by tho joyous “ Gouo away ! " 
of his well-known voice. In nn instant, Harry and his 
gallant pack wore at. work, and settling to the scent. Away 
ho went nt a rattling puco, pointing direct for Deadmoor 
Wood, through that to Huydon, and on across that splendid 
grass valo to Plumber. Tho heat was almost tropical, and 
the pace so great, that many wore fain to cry “ Hold, 
enough!” but “ On, for’ard, on !" was tlio cry. There was 
no time to “ crane” or to “creep;” on wo raced to 
Bolchalwall, by Ibberton to tho top of Turnworth Down, nnd 
onto Houghton Wood. The pace was tremendous— 65miniitcs 
without a chock, over a country which those only who have 
had the good fortuno and good pluck to get across can 
appreciate. Wo now terminated one of tlio finest runs that 
has been witnessed in this country, by u beautiful bit of 
covert hunting, which provod tlio staunchness as well as 
stoutness of ibis famous pack, who never left their quarry 
for an instant, and inn into their fox (a fine old dog), at tlio 
end of 1 hour nnd 85 niiuutes, having covered at least 12 
miles of country, from point to point. 
It should be observed, that this is the tenth time that 
these hounds have drawn Stock Wood, killing eight foxes, and 
running their ninth, after a famous run of nine miles, to 
ground at Armswcll. Yours, Sec. 
Red Rover. 
Lord Gifford succeeds Mr. Villebois in the V.W. II. 
county. Ho lias had this county before, and therefore 
knows every part of it ; no small advantage to a master 
hunting his own hounds. Lord Gifford lias secured the 
whole lot of draft hounds from the Old Berkshire pack.
