and bounced him up without trailing him. He will
stop to satisfy himself to the that has sprung
him. and will generally stop in open place where
he can get a view of his intruders.
But ere his fleet career he took
The dew-drops from his fianks he shook
Tossed ss sf his be saud onet a to the Sky
A moment gazed adown the vale;
A moment snued the tainted gale;
A moment listened to the cry
That hickened as the chase drew nigh"
If the driver does not get shotat this time, there
is but little chance for him when the deer starts
again and, under these circumstances, he should
take the chance, whether good or bad for the deer
will stop but for "a moment Scott has truly said.
FIRE-nUNTING-Ihe fire hunter usually wears
cap or ties up his head with handkerchief, in
order to avoid the large shadow that hat would
make; and to great extent, would prevent the
hunter from discovering . eyes. The fire-pan, az
it is usually termed, is made of rods of iron or of
hoop IRON The shape of il is that of deep frying
pam and attached to staff some five or SIX feet i'll
length. The structure Of the pan is open work, so
that the air may pass through it freely, that the fire
may glow brightly as the hunter waves It along
behind The staff is placed over the left shoulder
and the left arm thrown across it in front, for sup
port. The head of the hunter is always kept be-
tween the fire and the point direction which he
looks for eyes, Sometimes fire hunters hunt on
foot but most generally on horse ; in which case
they cover their horses back with blanket to pre-
vent the hot ashes and Goals, as they fall from the
pan, from burning the horse 1t requires two persons
to firehunt " successfully; to carry the pan
and find the deer. the other to ride Immediately
behind him and carry the gun and the bag of pine
The. pine is cut up in pieces about six inches in
| lengMh When the hunter discovers the eyes of Il
deer, he waves his right hand behind him signal
| for his companion to hand him his double
shot gun which is the fayorite gun for this descrp-
ton of hunting. An experienced fre-hunter :"
can Immediately distinguish the ewes of deer in
the darkest night, at q very considerable distance,
| from those of anv other animal. First. by their
brlliancy: secondly by their size and thirdly by
their distance apart Their size and distance from
each other are about the same as those of colt,
but they are much more brilliant Indeed colts
ewes are comparatively very dim A careless hunter,
| or one inexperienced. would occasionally shoot a
| colt or horse by mistake. There was neighbor of
/ ours who went out on fire hunting excursion,
some years since in Boeuf Prairie and, after having
discovered the eyes of deer, he dismounted, and,
with his companion fastened their horses and adj
| vanced toward the deer. He walked after it for
some distance occasionally losing sight of the eyes
finally he shlned, when, behold, he had shot ms
| avorite saddle horse deer gazes very steadily
at the light so. that when once discovered, ne may
be generally approached and shot before he looks
| awav
If the hunter once loses the "eyes," and then
discovers them again in another direction he is
satisfied that the deer is about moving off; and in
that case he embraces the first opportunity to shoot

intensity; on the contrary, wolf or bear are CEN
