and he gave Boxer good education.
Boxers phiz Is rather . remark able
phizi though moi brauliful. there is an ami
male and intellectual lock in his eye, and
appearance of quick Imagination before
action. that mskes him interesting; he Is
OF medium size. long curly roa,. and
without . tail, good criterion Of The true
Kind.
This dog is me Of The most faithful and
sheciionsis Of the brute creation. and
should say knew a. much as one third ii
the human race. His temper i exceed.

II is some times my practice 10 lei m,
