CAPTURE OF A Fox BY A SINGLE HOUND.—
On Saturday, Mr. John Nelson, of Gatesgarth,
Buttennere, while out looking after the sheep, on that part
of the mountain known as Scartb, heard a hound at some
distance, as if in full chase, and apparently approaching
On looking round he perceived a hound descending, at
express-train speed, the mountain's brow, in full view of
a fine fox, which was only a few yards in advance of
the dog. Both pursuer and pursued were stretching
eveiy muscle in running, the one to compass a kill,
the other to escape it. The hound gradually crept to
a closer proximity to the brush till within a few
yards of -the river, which descends into Enner-
dale Lake. Here the dog with one bound, caught the
fox by the back, and they both rolled over into the
river. Mr. Nelson then sent his sheep dog to assist the
gallant hound to despatch the " varmint," which was in a
short time accomplished. It proved a fine dog fox nearly
albs weight.— Westmoreland Gazette.
