OBTAINING REYENaE.

I Mr. Snarl resides in Forsythe steet. BIZ
Snarl is an old bachelor, with an Irish girl for
q housekeeper. Snarla lives in good style but
has some queer notions. He disfkes dogs
not excepted. ? :.
Snarl's next door neighbor is Harry San Sarnn- D,
son. Now. Harry is the very opposite to old
Mr.. Snarl, He sets ahigh value on dog and
there is only one article equal to Newfound-
land, and that's woman. Harry has several
= eimens ofthe canine race. The other even
ing they got up a bowling match because
the moon becameeclipsed. they commenced
about ten o'elok, and kept it up until the sun
got an inch and a half above Williamsburg.
i This so annoyed Mr.. Snarl, that lie had jerk
ed up "for nuisance" !" and fined ten dollars
Harry paid thenoney, butresolved on revenge.
The next morning thefollowing advertisement
appeared in the Herald: re- sesica 49
WAETED.-At Forsythe street, two, bull
dogs and four Spanish pups. For full-blooded
dogs the highest price viii be paid Cal be-
tween four and six p. NJ oa Fl EiR na b
~. ,s.-,.- sos l JAMES SNARL. aI
We need not say the advertisement was in
serted by Harry. His reason for making the
calls between four and six P. NJ. was, because
Mr. Snarl was always out at that hour, taking
an airing around the Battery. s z9 aesiS
At the hour specified, dogs and pups might
have been seen going up the Bowery to Grand,
to Forsythe, to the mansion occupied By Mr..
Snarl. aa o3a9 sila tlss
The first person that pulled the door-beH
was butcher boy from Centre Market with a
pair ofbull dogs that would tear the heart
out ola tiger Maggie answered the bell,
when the following colloquy took place:
teDoes Mr. Snarl live here 7us HVn
ale does. Why do you ax,D sd 4
81 have got some dogs for him" fu
Dogs for Mr.. Snarl-rnother of Moses, did
you ever! you mistook the door,, @
Devil bit-readst that" xa = esq
Here Syksee took out the Morning Herald,
and showed Maggie the advertisement Mag
gle was thunderstruck. There was "no de-
nylng the advertisement" She accordingly
told Syksee to go into the back yard sfwid the
dogs" and await the return of Mr. Snarl. Syk-
see did So
In about two minutes, Maggie was again
summoned to the door BELL 'h s leA
"What do you want?"
"Mr Snarl. I've brought them dogs he
wanted" i, ~. v5eq.,1 4
7"YoG have? Well, then, go into the yard
wild the other blackguard." sd
No 2 followed No. /; No. 2 was soon fol-
lowed by No. 8, who was succeeded by lots 4,
8 and 6. BY fpast five, the back yard con
tanned twenty-one bull dogs and fourteen span
iels. The former got up a misunderstanding,
and by the time Mr.. SnarI arrived, seven
spaniels had been placed hors du combat while a
brindle bull dog from Fulton Market was going
through his third fight with ''yaller terrier
from Mount street e. Ga ssg9E
Mr. Snarl reached home few minutes before
six. Maggie opened the door and burst out as
follows:sse s. zeisFs7ro2 Eas 90 4
For the, love Of the Lord, 60 back and stop
'ena. They are eating one another up, and if
not choked off will deyour the cistern. Since
the days of Gruinmell, I'ye not heard such a
llullabaloo entirely" !
snarl swent back''-Snafl 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 Mr.. Snarl was
emptying ''the back yard" with an axe helve.
The next day Harry Sampson complained
ofhim for having a dog fight" on his premises.
Snarl was fined twenty five dollars-ffteen
dollars for having "sucha fght,'' and ten dol
lars for being an old hypocrite.' 1t is necessa-
ry for US to say, that Harry Sampson slept
better that night than any night since the war
with Mexico IL Ne,o York DaetcIman.
