DisgracefaI Fox Hunting.
Poughkeep.ie cor. N. '. Times.

The Berean brothers, John Lent and Levi McMullen, four Ulster county hunt CTS, a few days ago started out on hunt. The start was made early in the morn- ing from Marlborough village. A fine brace of dogs accompanied the party. When the woods near Middlehope were reached the dogs struck the trail of fox. The short, quick bark of the dogs indi- cated to the practical ears of a sportsman that the trail was fresh one. On over the rocks, through the swamps and brushwood the hunters followed the hounds. The Danskamper swamp was reached, and the impulsive yell of the hounds indicated that the trail divergsd to the north. For three hours the dogs and hunters followed in the trail of the fox-frst from east to west, and then from north to south. Major David Fow- ler's dense woods were reached, and the dogs were close upon the heels of their prey. The pursued and pursuers were becoming tired fthe advantage in favor of the latter.
 Once more the fox headed for Dans- hammer swamp, and the hounds for a time lost the scent. For twenty minutes the yelp of the dogs was not heard. Ouuuculy tiAS DoihtlS Wsto iSpuiilSu, anu from the sound the hunters judged the fox was being driven again into the Fow- Ter forest. Such proved to be the case. Near the center of the woods is ledge. Toward the northern end of the ledge there is Assure in the rocks. The fis- sure is fourteen inches wide at the out side, and just large enough at the other end for a rabbit to crawl through. The opening of the tunnel is cone shaped. When the hunters reached the ledge the fox was found to be firmly wedged into the Assure by the hips, where he had been driven by the hounds. All four of the hunters vainly endeayored to extri- cate the animal. It was becoming dark, and the party concluded to return to the woods the following morning with q crowbar and pick. At sunrise the party was on hand. So was the fox, alive as well. Several vigorous blows with a sledee hammer failed to loosen the rocks, which, like a wise, encompassed the fox. A strap from the hunting bag was wound around the forelegs of the fox and also around the crowtar. Two of the hunters took hold of the end of the crowbar and used it as lever. The forelegs of the fox were literally torn from the sockets. Rarely or ever fox makes cry of pain, but in this instance & plaintive wall was uttered by the ami nal. To put an end to it's misery it was shot. A vigorous use of the crowbar and pick soon made an impression on the Assure, and the carcass of the fox was hauled out in the sunlight.
