country he look home very fine one
FOR the purpose OF Introducing come Of
the right sort of blood into our own
mOngrel breed Of sheep-dOgs. The DC 6
was carried by his new master from In
verness by cOsch TO Glasgow, smut in
sort of cage, so con, tructtd that he could
not possibly see anything but the sky,
The cage being open at the top only.
After passing q night 20 Glasgow, he
was conveyed next morning, In the
same cage, down the Clyde, aud with
bis master proceeded by steamer TO
Liverpool, landed there, and in due
course OF time was taken on, still shut up
10 the cage, 70 his destination in the
country. Here of course, he was much
admired, ami did his work well, until
about three weeks after his arrival, when
he was suddenly missed. After the lapse
Of 3 little time, it was heard that a DOG
answering the description Of the adver-
tisement mad been seen wandering about
the docks at Liverpool for several days,
but no one knew what had become o.
him. A short time afteTward a letter
arrived from the Old shepherd in Scot
laud, informing the gentleman who had
purchased the DOG that be actually found

ing sent FOR express to Bath, WAS accom-

passage to Bath, and then within the
confines Of a close carriage. Mr.. Morris
states that "on tie nineteenth OF May,
1884, party who had been living a
Quedgeiey, within two miles Oi GiOu-
cesteF, sailed from Bristol to New York,
TO settle in one of the Wes-
Tern States of America. They took
with them q Wire-haired TERROR. This

twenty-seven miles. From New York
they proceeded in q steamboat up the
Hudson TO Albany, one hundred and
ninety miles, thence TO Schenectady,

one hundred aud forty miles, By tow
boat. In the hurry Of disembarking at
syracuse the dog was missed, ana all
trace of her was lost. Some time after
arriving at their destination, one OF the /
party wrote to his father, and, amongst /
other things, mentioned the loss Of the |

etter arrived at Quedgeley, was lying /
down in front Of the Kitchen fire |
