Red Hook Gun Club. 
Red IIook, N. Y., May 30. — The holiday shoot at 
blue rocks under the auspices of the home club, who 
entertained the visitors who were not discouraged hy a 
down pour of rain. The members gave a fine exhibition 
of marksmanship as exclusively amateurs. The appended 
table will convince the readers it was remarkable work 
against a thick, cloudy background:

THE REV. MR. B’s WOODCRAFT. 
The Rev. Mr. A. was but a few months from 
the Seminary and also from a course of study 
in philosophy. The Rev. Mr. B. is experienced, 
successful, strictly conservative, to whom philoso¬ 
phy, especially of the empirical school, is the 
open door to infidelity, and the authority of 
fathers of the church sufficient for all the prob¬ 
lems of life, or nearly all, says an exchange. 
The Rev. Mr. A. vouchsafed the information 
that he did not consider himself bound to accept 
the conclusions of Athanasius or of any other 
of the fathers without making an independent 
examination into the processes of their thought 
for himself. The Rev. Mr. B. naturally cau¬ 
tioned his young friend as to such an independ¬ 
ent position in matters of ancient doctrines. He 
wisely insisted that the young men of the day 
were n d in possession of sufficient knowledge, 
etc., for such an independent judgment, that they 
must at first be willing to accept the orthodox 
and approved fathers as competent guides in mat¬ 
ters of that sort. 
In addition to the Rev. Mr. B.’s undoubted 
success in the theological and ecclesiastical world 
he is what, in its best sense, we mean when we 
call a clergyman “a thoroughly good fellow.” 
Among his many attractive equipments in this 
latter direction he is a genuine “craftsman of 
the woods.” “For instance,” he resumed to his 
young friend,_ in arguing about the reasonable¬ 
ness of submitting to guidance in as yet unex¬ 
plored regions, “for instance, you and I are mak¬ 
ing for-lake. It is about five miles east 
from here, through intricate woods. You prob¬ 
ably by yourself could not find it. But you know 
that I have been over the ground before, and 
you naturally follow me implicitly, believing that 
in this way we shall sooner reach our object. 
Now why not also accept the guidance of the 
fathers in matters of theology where they have 
had an experience which we cannot possibly 
repeat?*’ 
The Rev. Mr. A. was much impressed by the 
illustration. Some three hours after, the Rev. 
Mr. B. hailed a passing native and inquired how 
far they were from - lake. “Well. Mister, I 
reckon^ you’re ’bout ten mile to the west of it; 
if you’re ever goin’ to git there you’ll have to 
turn right ’round and go t’other way.”

Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.
