New WORDS While many words
once in common use are now nearly
obsolete, few persons are aware how
large a number of new words are con-
stantly coming into our language. The
Supplement of the new edition of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary, recently
issued, contains among other attractive
features, an addition of over 1000 new
Words and Meanings, and yet it is but
a few years since a general revision
was made and great care taken to insert
all the words then properly belonging
to the English language Where these
words come from and what they are,
is surprise to persons who have not
examined them That they have not
been hastily compiled is evidenced by
the accuracy of and careful study
given to their etymology and def
nltions.

Fox Hunting.

The sOuthbury Boys ssTake the Cake." To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: We, the undersigned, have noticed num- Der of communications in your paper of late in regard to fox hunting and successes achieved. We think from what we have seen we can ''take the cake" We started out on the morning of February Sd with four dogs, and had gone about one mile without 8 track. All at once the dogs started up with a terrible bowling, and we followed them three quarters of mile, when we came on to them. To our surprise they had driven some foxes into a large cave in huge ledge of rocks. Our only salvation was to smoke them out. We went to work and built up large fire. We smoked out 30 foxes, and by gun and dog we secured 23 of them; escaped us. If any New England hunters can beat this we should like to hear from them.
