SETTERS. 
I have for sale another litter of Setter Pups from my 
fclebrated bitch “Sue,” by Mosher’s thoroughbred 
dog “Frank.” “Sue” is out of ^VarwicK’s “Flora,” 
hy'’Charles Aurand’s celebrated dog “ Colonel,” of 
Clyde, N. Y. , one of the best dogs in the State. 
“Frank” was bred by Mr. H. L. AVilkinson, of West- 
field, Mass., and besides being very staunch, and pos- 
sessing a wonderful nose, is one of the handsomest dogs 
that ever pointed game. Color of the pups, lemon and 
white, and black and white. Price $25 each.
