Siedenholz, killed, early one morning,
young deer in rsvine near the Bruchberg,
IN the Hartz After being eviscerated, the
deer was left lying on the borders OF a
pine wood, to be fetched by charcoal
burner in Grummes employ. When the
former arrived at the wood, ne found the
place empty, and the deer had apparently
been stolen. Il was afternoon before
Grunme heard of it. He Immediately
went to the Bruchbarg with his brave
bloodhound, Hnschmann, but on the dry,
rocky ground no trace OF the manner III
which Inc deer had been removed could be
foDrd No ZINE was to be lost since the
probable time OF the theft hail day hsd
.Iassed. The bl5odnguud's strap was
ie,grbered. and he was made to under
sta1d The ease. The dog thoroughly ex-
amined the SPOT where the deer llao lam,
then went round about 1t, tnen forward u
little. tnen suddealy pulled the strap so
tiohtiy m 60 intimate individually That he
had drawn the true scent. Alter
while they came to spot where
evidently the thieves had found the deer
too heavy for them, and where, az was
afterUa-d found, they had cut l5 through
the middle. The searca, however, did not
progress very rapidly over the Bruchberg,
on account OF the difficulties Of the road.
Presently they came to the high-road oil
CLANS sbsi where Hirschniann had TO use
ali his powers OF scent to distinguish the
traces Of the thieves from those OF the
otAer passengers, and also IN fading where
the track again passed from the high road
THIS. TOO. he accomplished successfully
and taeir search was continued through
farmland and wood When they reached
a pine u Cd ue5r the town OF Altenau, they
suddenly came upon the deer lying on the
ground i y ed, and much cur up. Inc
poachers [NnO, il was evident, mad Jast
been DIS turaed and surprised in Jaelr work
b. tue sound Of the hun1sn,en coming
through the thicket) had, IN their tight,
left their hats, sticks ana knives behind
them Thus the weary search over mount
ain ana rock through wood and thleket,
was rewarded, and Hirschmsnn mad proved
how much a good bioodhouns, IL the hands
of a thorough huntsm4n, may accomplish.

TIE HooP or TIE HoEsE-Lack of
moisture IS not necessarily cause of brit
tleness ct the hocf, since 5he horse has d
strong hoof. A continued drought Is
esuecIaiiv dangerous when II acts on a foot
accustomed to abundance Of water. I'm
der the action Of water the horn cells alb
sorb, Increase in size aud push each other
apart. BY this action, too some of the
gelatiuous matter that Guilds up the horn
Is dissolved out, and wien the hoof IS
again allowed 10 dry it has lost materially
IN It's power of cohesion. The more fre-
auently the process Of soaking and drying
is repeated more hurtful it proves to the
hoof, winch becomes increasingly brittle,
and liable so split up L, further, this
tendency to brittleness has heen inbred
through generations OF horses, where the
feet are alternately soaked by drenching
rains, and withered By drying suns, the
danger Is proportioaateiy increased, and
the feet OF such a race of horses
are especially liable TO splitting and
injury. 1t is not habitual dryness
that INJURIES, it is the alterations Of rain
and drought While upon this subject it
may be- well to note that the evil effects of
moisture may be largely warded off by
smeariug the moistened foot with an i'm
pervious oily agent before exposing 1t to
the drying process. In this way the moist
IRE thar has been absorbed by the horn is
retained, The sudden drying and shrinking
are obvisted aud the horn remains elastic
and comparatively tough. As it Is often
needful 20 soak the foot IN warm or cold
water. or in poultces IN cases OF disease, it
is all important that the above.named pre-
canton should be constantly borne in mind,
and that the suftened loot should be
smsared throughout with some hoof ONT
ment before it IS allowed to dry and
harden. For this purpose nothing is
simpler nor better than mixture IN equal
parts Of tar and whale oil or lard This
may be gmeared on the foot every other
day.
A Doc SgoRY.-But if you are looking
for downright intellect call on the pointer
dog. II is safe TO say that the pointer has
mind enough for anything. He is far more
human than the monkey, and, we cheer
fully acknowledge, far worthier of the re-
lationship. Why, look at Z" jeff every
body knows " Jeif"-Dr. Mattauers liver
coored pointer The dog carries notes,
goes for lbe horse and buggy, goes for beef,
and fe >ches ice regularly. Besides all this,
"Jeff has many accomplishments that
make him finished dog Would anybody
deny JETS" intellect? Hardly. Why,
last week ''JeG" was sent for ice, and
what did he do? He started with towel,
in one corner of which nickel was tied
mp. JEFF" saw that nickel put in, and
Immediately temptation assailed him. He
could buy ice on credit and beef was al
ways cash. Now watch the dog He
reasoned He labored under the tempta-
ton until he reached Huff's corner,
and then he yielded Down ID the dirt he
croached. and after tussle got the knot
united What next2 It would never do
to cary that nickel into Corput's. He
reasoned again. He buried the Nickel
carried tho sowel III, received the ice and
came out, but not for the nickel. Oh no ;
he had atudie1 that OUT, too. The doctor
must % lett to believe the nickel had gone
for ice The ice was carried to the office,
and then the dog came back like flash,
secured his cash, galloped onward to the
beef st2nd, aud in few minutes he was
observed homeward bound with his dinner.
He was not afraid to carry it hoTe. He
reasoned that the doctor would suppose
some one had given it to him. This is
vouched for by three witnesses Macon
