PUGNACIOUS CAMELS IN THE DESERT:-:
About the miedie of the day, as usual, the sheik rode a-head,
and, striking his spelt; in the sand, he had coffee prepared be-
fore we came up. While we were sitting around the spear.
two of our camels so far forgot the calm dignity of their nail
ture, and their staid, quiet, habits, as to get into a fight ; itnn'
ole of them, findaig himself like'y to come off second best,
took to his heels, and the other after him; they were baggagl
camels, one being charged with my boxes of provishns an
houtekeeping apparatus, and his movements indicated death to
crockery. I will not go into particulars, for eggs, rice,
the ma'
caroni, and lamp-oil make a bad mixture ; and though
race and fight between the loaded camels were rather ludicrous,
the consequence was by no means a pleasant thing in the
desert.—Stephens's Incidents of Travel.
Fox CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.-Last Sunday
afternoon, a fine large fox was observed stealing along Navi-
gation Road, in Walmgate, in this city. The appearance of
Reynard, in so novel a situation, was the signal for immedie
at
pursuit, and the posse comitatus turned out in full cry. The
turing so far into civilized society,

pleasure of a steeple chase, combined with the excitement F
hunting the fox. Over wall and out-house, through yard and_
paddock, scudded the pursued, and a. follow nay leader," was
the motto of the pursuers. Ominous, however, was eyna
course; in the tan-yard of Mr. Woollons be might beholdd
how many unhappy quadrupeds like, himself had been slippiech
out of their skins. Here, too, he met with a mishaP, vrlt itt

in some measure incapacitated him from holding out agal:a
" the enemy" who hemmed him in on every side, lining ev
the walls and outbuildings all around. In threading atlylu''
tan-pits, poor foxey had the misfortune to stumble into nn_et,
which sorely confused him, and enabled a sturdy foe to put
his foot firmly upon Reynard's neck. He was thus kept prof-le
trate, whilst a noose was called fur, which being prepared, the
captor raised his foot, in order to pass the cord round the n_efic,
of the prostrate. This advantage was not lost, the fox sPr't,
up, and the chase was again commenced. The prosaPe.c -
however, did not improve upon the fugitive, who nest
