recent traveller in the interior of Texas, gives
a particular account Of his visit to a Canine Re-

The first cry of danger from the outskirts was
soon taken up in the centre of the city, and now
nothing was to be seen in any direction but DASH
ing and scamperng OF the mercurial and excitable
citizens Of the place, each to his lodge or burrow
Far as the eye could reach was spread the city,
and in every direction the scene was the same
We rode leisurefy along until we had reached the
more thickly settled portion of the city, when we
halted, and after taking the brides from our hor-
ular attack apon its inhabitants
The burrows were not more than fifteen yards
apart, with weltrodden paths leading in different
directions, and / even thought could discover
something like regularity in the laying out of the
streets. We sat down upon bank under the
shade of tree, and leisufeiy surveyed the scene
before US. Our approach had driven every one
in our immediate vicinity to his home, but some
hundred yards off, the small mound of earth in
front Of burfow was each occupied by a dog sit

commotion. Every now and then some citizen,
more venturous than his heig hbor, would leave his
