GRAND RUN WITII or BUCCLEUCH'S Fox H0t,73178.
—This gallant pack has again taken the field in Pecbleshire.
:;o:ne days ago they threw off at the huntinz seat of Lora
in:d an canner had they drawn the cover at the south--
cast cortnt of the Copsewood than they iliund. as game a fox
as ever Ivagged tail. He went off in a slap style, with his
nose pointing to the old romantic tower of Elibank. The
hounds, with brilliant scat, with heads up and sterns down,

went off in a style of dashing aniteletion. Reynard, on reaching
d,, :4 ruin, made a short but graceful pause, to enable those
of his followorg who had a taste of picturesque to take a cool
and deliberate view of the old tower in passing, and at the same
4iste to take a glimpse into the vale cf the Tn.-ed, where, at
the eMte,e,ity, is to be seen Asilysteil Ilouse, long the resi-
dence of' tile " great unknown." The alarming sounds of the
bow-wows intlinnted to, foxey that the enemy was at hand,
flier4ftrre the sooner he was off the better. Taking the hint,
away lie tient at a rattling rate for the Lapwinglaw. The pe-
destrians, who were situated on Thornylee Craig, on the oppo-
.ite baniia of the Tweed, bad an admirable view of Reynard
erid Vi'.7jallant pursuers foe several miles, until they reached
High Pnibt, Cairn, when they were lost to the view for some
minutes, from !lie mantling mist which hung over the heath-
covered mountains of the forest ; at this moment the music
If 11.1 hounds became faint as an echo, on account of the great
speed at tsMgli they were travelling. It is a ;:-tct. well-known
to every sportsrnert that hounds cannot go very fleetly and at
the same time tongue; such a union is impossibte. On the
re-aftpem-ance of Reynard it was evident that he had outwitted
his pursuer* in turning the Cairn, by throwing them of course
at least half a mile; still, poor foxey found it rather up -bill
work, even in descending from the summit of the mountain, to
keep at that respectable distance from his pursuers, he
.so
anxiously wished for. Again reaching the hanks of the Tweed.
he took shelter in the cover wherein he was first found, but its
a few seconds the blood-thirsty notes of his enemies again
.as-
sailed ide tiers, and knowing, as he did, the mischievous inten-
tions of hie followers, he was compelled to break, and went off
at a slashing pace pace for Minchmoor Top, with the gallant
pack close at his heels. On reaching the summit of the
mountain poor Todlowrie found himself so hard pressed by his
pursuers that he was again compelled to descend into the val-
ley of Glenmeade Hope. On reaching the Warlock Know,
which is of a pyramidical form, poor Reynard scampered round
and round its bitse for some time, with hounds close to his
brush, till at length he began to gain ground upon his followers,
When the scene became a truly novel one, as it had muse the
appearance of the fox chasing the hounds than the hounds the
fox, as frequently the last dog was much .nearer the object Pf
his pursuit than the first. Reynard, however, having got
tired of his circular motion, darted from the course, and took
shelter below a large flat stone, which was immediately lifted
up, when poor foxey was ushered into the presence of his sa-
vage pursuers, and in an instant was torn into a thousand
pieces, gobbled up in the general growl, an sng and smooth,
dry and warm, and cozy as he was an hour d and ua
half ago ex-
actly, in the furze bush in the cover, he is now piecemeal in,
about fifty stomachs; and is he not, pray, well off for sepul-
ture ? Immediately when the music of the hounds had ceased
the cry of human distress was distinctly heard from the valley
below, which instantly attracted the attention of the pedes-
trians, who were situated on the summit of Pyctside, and who
at one single glimpse into the vale of the Tweed discovered re
human being floating down the stream ; in an instant a general
rush took place, and on reaching the banks of the Tweed they
discovered this to be no less an individual than little Johnny
Hope, the Caberston cow-herd, who was waddling down the
stream nose-deep, struggling between death and life with an
immense salmon which he had hooked nearly a mile up the
thee. From the shortness of his line he was compelled to
wade stream and pool, and not unfrequently at the hazard of
his life ; however, before any assistance could be rendered little
Johnny, he felt, from the sensitive properties of his rod, that
that the monster of the deep was beginning to lose strength,
when immediately a voice from Coldstream reached the ears of
the young piacator—
" Reel tip, reel up, one sullen plunge,
• He takes out line no more;
Head down the stream, then haul him in,
He gasps upon the shore.
He gasps upon the shore, my boys,
His weight an English stone,
As beautiful a thing in death,
As eye e'er gazed upon."
The young angler, who had certainly proved himself game
from head to heel, was so overjoyed at having captured so
large a fish with such flimsy tackle, that it was some minutes
after he was safely landed on terra firma before he could give
utterance to a single word ; at length he broke silence by
stating to the crowd which had assembled around him that at
a little past eight o'clock, when he was attending the cows at
the head of the Barn Walls, a pool well known to many an
an angler, he observed a salmon coging on the surface of the
water, near the side ; and as he recollected of having frequently
heard his father state that this was almost a never-failing prog-
nostication of a fish being in the humour for taking a fly, he
immediately set to work and made from the hair of a cow's tail
a line of about twelve feet in length, and the only hook he had
was a small bait one, which was given him by a friend of the
writer in passing to the hunt. Upon this he put wings from
the feathers of a wood-pigeon, which he found on the banks of
the river, and with a little of the brown hair from Crumbie's
back, in place of a hackle, and with a small quantity of white
pulled from the forehead of Hawkie, fur the tail or tip, he
finished what might be considered no faint imitation of the
Juniper Bank death fly. The rod was solely composed of the
branch of the rowan-tree. Immediately upon the line being
attached, he cast his fly into the river, when up came the
fish and seized his hook, which proves to a demonstration that
no one, however ingenious, can make a fly, be the colour what
it may, but what will kill a salmon, provided he keeps within
bounds with regard to size.—Edinburgh Courant.
Loan ELcno's Fox HOUNDS.—This gallant pack have ac-
quitted themselves extremely well during the last seven weeks.
The sports have never been more magnificent in Berwickshire,
and thirteen and a half brace have rewarded them for their
toil. On the 13th instant they met at Elmford, but Reynard
was absent without leave. At the covert of Smiddyhill, how-
ever, he was seen, and made away by the north of Elmford,
crossed the Whittader, climbed Roughside, and running] over
St. Bathan's hill, entered Munroe's cover. But, being unsafe
here, he passed Cockburn Law, down to the Whittader, and
crossed at the Mill; then, bending to the Stanchel, he sought
Baird's cover at Prestoncleuch, doubled, as if making for
Buncle Wood, when he was headed, and again crossed the
Whittader, below Broom House. From thence he found his
way to Manderston Mains, where he bade the pack adieu. The
bounds came now to check, when a brother of Reynard's got
up, who led the way to Kelloe Bastlo cover, round by White-
law, Middlestocks, Grcenknow, back by Kimmerghame Mains,
and up the Blackadder to near Nisbet Mill, and thence, cross-
ing the fields, entertained the pack to a feast in Pulton Mill
Quarry, after a run of two hours and ten minutes, The stud
of horses have performed their duties nobly. His Lordship's
groom, Bob Carlyle, grandson of the famous Will Carlyle,
who was huntsman to Colonel Renton of Mordington, is a
thorough-bred one. The hounds left Dunse Castle on Satur-
day last for East Lothian, and will return, we believe, in Fcb-
ruary.—Berwick Warder.

STUFFING FOR A GODS);.-Billy W., and his wife
Sally, two relics of the old school, who reside at Barnsley,
bethought themselves the other day, for the first time since
their marriage, that they would have a goose for dinner.
Sally, with no small degree of consequence, went to the
market and purchased one ; and on her return home she
said to her husband, " Now, Billy, my lad, what is it to be
stuft wee ?" " Owt ats green, Sally, my lass," replied the
delighted husband, who marched off to his work, in expecta-
tion of returning at noon to a glorious dinner. The dinner
hour arrived, and off Billy started, snuffing his nose as he
trudged along, fancying he smelt the stuffing,. Grace hav-
ing been said, Billy commenced carving the goose, and
Sally held her plate for a leg. " Stop a bit, my lass," said
Billy, " " wots this here ?" pullinr, a quantity of green
worsted from the inside with his fork. •` Why, stuffing to
be sure, Billy ; didna tha sa it wor to be stuft wi owt at wor
green ? and we'd nowt else i't house at wor green but
that." This is literally a fact.—Leeds Intelligencer.
