a FIGHTINa Doo.-There is one Of our
friends who wears q sugar-loaf hat, a coat
with short tail from Walders or Neffs
storci boots from Elliott 81 Hawthorn or
Ehlers; boards at the st. Charles, and
takes delight in dogs--fghtlng dogs. He
knows which breeds are the best, and is a
judge of good dog even to tho curl of
his tail. We have always believed that
his pechart would get him into trouble,
but have been unable TO induce him to
yield to eSpostulations and throw up the
sponge for Edo. We know our readers
have little interest in this matter, but in
the face Of this fact-in order to snatch a
human being from bad practice as a
brand from the burning-we have made
tho fact public, and ask attention Of all
lovers Of dog fighting to the moral of tho
following pathetic poem, by that most de.
vout and religious Of all poets, Mr.. Bret
