death by the Spanish authorities at Cuba.-
The Captain Of The Susan Loud has lost his

would be an lnIOIeroble disgrace to our
Government to permit the lives of our cii'

justification. These men were not taken in

Of Newbury, fox-hunter with two hounds,
got upon the track of poor fox, which
was pursued until towards the close of the
day. The fox found matters were drawing
to a desperate crisis with him-and' just
at this time the whistle ofthe railroad tram
was heard, when he struck off in the direc-
ton, and approached the track, just as the
train came up, and leaped it Immediately
preceding the engine, the two hounds close
in pursuit. Each hound was caught by the
wheels of the engine-the foremost lost a.

rear was cut off just behind his hiPs-and
off went the fox e" alone in lis glory."-
