| OBTAINING REVENGE. Mr.. Snarl resides in For
syth street-Mr. Snarl is an old bachelor, with an
Irish girl for a housekeeper. Snarl lives in good
style, but has SOME queer notions. He dslikes
dogs above all things, organ-grinders and beggars
not excepted.
Snals next door neighbor is Harry Sampson.
Now, Harry is the opposite of old Mr.. Snarl He
sets high value on dog, and thinks there is only
one article equal to Newfoundland, and that's a
woman Harry has several specimens of the ca
nine The other evening they got up a howl
ing match because the moon became eclpsed.
They commenced about 10 CLOCK and kept up till
the sun got an inch and half above Williams
burg.
This so annoyed Mr. Snarl, that he had Henry
jerked up for nuisance, and fined ten dollars
Harry paid the money, but resolved on revenge
The next morning the following advertisement ap-
peared in the Herald:
" "Wanted-At Forsyth street. two bull dogs, and
four spaniel pups For full -boodee dogs the high
est price will be paid. Call between 4 and 6, P.
M. JAS. SNARL"
We need not say that the advertisement was in
serted by Harry. His reason for making the calls
between A and P. NJ, was because Mr.. Snarl
was always out at that hour taking an airing
around the Battery
At the hours specified, dogs and pups might
have been seen going up the Bowery to Grand,
and out of Grand into Forsyth, to the mansion oc-
cupied by Mr.. Snarl.
The first person that pulled the door bell was a
butcher boy from Center Market, with pair of
bull dogs that would make mince meat of tiger.
Maggie answered the bell when the following col
loquy took place:
Does Mr. Snarl live here?'
He does. Why do you AK"
~ have got some dogs for him."
Dogs for Mr.. Snarll Mother of Moses did
you ever. You've mistook the door"
"Devil bit; read that"
Here Sykesy took out the Morning Herald and
showed Maggie the advertisement. Maggie was
thunderstruck there was no denying the adver-
tisement She accordingly told Sykesy to 90 into
the back yard with the dogs and await the return
of Mr.. Snarl. Sykesy did so.
In about two minutes Maggie was again sum-
moned to the door bell.
:" Mr. Snarl. I've got them dogs he wanted"
I" You have! we'll then, go into the back yard
with the other blackguard"
No 3 followed No. l; No was soon followed
by No. g. who was succeeded by lots 4, S, and 6.
By haif-past five the back yard contained twenty
one bull dogs and fourteen spaniels. The former
got up misunderstanding and by the time Mr.
Snarl arrived seven spanels had been placed horS
de combat while brindle dog from Fulton Market
was going through his third fight with yellow
terrier from Mott street.
| Mr. Snarl reached home few moments before
six Maggie opened the door, and burst out as
follows:
For the love of the blessed Virgin, 60 back
and stop them. They are eating each other up,
and if not choked off will devour the owners.
Since the days of Crummel have not seen such a
hullabaloe entirely"
Snarl went k'--Snarl looked into the yard
and would have sworn but he could not find oaths
sufficiently powerful to do justice to his feelings
When we left, Snarl was emptying the back yard
with an helve. The next morning Harry
Sampson complained of him for having "dog
fight on his premises Snarl was fined twenty-five
dollars fifteen dollars for an L" old hypocrite." 1t
is unnecessary for us to say that Harry Sampson
war with Mexico-N. Y Dtchman.
