THE TERRIER. 
The Terrier is a small variety of the Dog, but is of 
high value, from the pertinacity and courage with which 
he attacks rats and other vermin. His name of Terrier 
is evidently given to him on account of his habit of dig- 
ging into the earth, which he does with great rapidity 
when in pursuit of any animal. The English Terrier is 
a smooth-haired dog, and the best are of a black colour, 
with tan-coloured legs, and spots on the eyebrows ; the 
Scotch Terrier is covered with rough, wiry hair, which 
in the Skye Terriers becomes very long.
