circumstance somewhat akin to this took
place IN this city on Friday In Mr.. Try's

the one representing fish and the other dead
game. They are exceedingly well execut'
cd; and 70i. have been refused for the pair.
On the day above mentioned, pointer en-
tered, and fixed his eyes on the painting OF
the game, which was hanging above side
board, sprung at it with such fury, that he
brought the picture TO the grou'rf, and broke
the frame all to pieces. Fortunately the pic
ture was uninjured. The dog seemingly "a
shamed of his mistake, and frightened at
the disturbance he had created, left the shop
