On Thermlay morning, the 11id Lothian Fox honmit
threw off at Dregliorn Gate. A Fax was almost in-
stantly found in the 'ne4Thhourbood, which took to the
West, and entered the policy near to Dreghorn Castle ;
turning ragweed, he entered his old cover, and was im-
mediately killed. A few minutes aitt_woards, another
fox was started, which, after a short rein, was then dint
killed. The dogs then went towards Woutlhouseler, hat
not tin& nr, the sports of the day terminated. The Com-
pany was nom-rous and respectable, hut the weather
was (mind very unfavorable, is consequence of the thick-
ness of the atmosphere. As most of the company had
gone towards the top of the hill, in expectation that
the Fox hail gone in that direction, as is steamily the
ease. very few, or indeed not any, were in at the time
cf the death'. _ _
