REWARD IN THE WRONG HoLE.-A
C respondent at Morristown sends the
Freeman the foil wing:
Milan Chatterton and others of Morris
town went out on fox hunting excur-
sion the other day. The old do 500
started fox and gave him close chase,
when Reynard sought an asylum in the
nearest possible borough, evidently to
escape his dreaded pursuers. But as the
sequel proves he did not receive the best
of treatment. 1t is more than probable
taat by mistake he took the wrong path
and got into bad company; for when
found he had been some ime dead, and
was in close quarters with eight live
skunks. The skunks were all disposed
of in due time, although not without
subjecting the hunters to peculiar
odor, more pungent than agreeable, and
the fragrance of which will linger about
the partj for many days. The cause of
the death of the fox may be conjectured,
but the event itself must have been l. ard
to be borne.
