TRAINING SPORTING DOGS.

In training pointers aud settlers care
must be TAX on to give the puppies every
chance OF starting them, and by careful
handlingand allo wing them to see every
thing that will tend to make them hardy
and not gun shy, as it is the worst
thing that could befall the puppy, AZ he
cannot have to much pluck.
Many a puppy Ia made gun shy by
being kept too much out of sight when
being exercised, and not allowed his
freedom to run about until five or six
months old, when he can see every
thing for himself, and by that time lie
will be getting into trouols. But you
may be sure he will be full of spirit. il
he ever will have any. Begin AZ first
by leading him with a chain and collar,
which he will object to most decidedly !;
but hold on to him, and let him pull till
he is tired out, when he very likely will
think better of it and follow you. If
not, let him sleep night over it and
| try him next day, and after pull or
| two he will come pleasantly. BY all
means be kind to him at first, until you
get thoroughly acquainted with his
temper, and granting that his temper is
not the best, it ts probably only high
lcourage, which is the best merit he can
have for the breaker. Then, presuminG
you have o kennel of dogs, attach him
to An old one.
Ii your puppy is dog, put him on
with one Of the opposite sex, which ht
will follow after with q little coaxing
The next and greatest in Importance Ia
the shooting over him, and by all mean
be careful at first by swapping cap
lIf have few puppies, take them al
ltogeihe old dogs and all, and when al
are running loose fire off several caps

The old dogs will run or. and the young

Court House, that was stronger or

Court House, that was stronger or
more substantial.
In answer to Mr.. Chandler, be said
that he did not consider the 9'inch
salmon wall condemned by the Build
ing Inspector sufficiently strong to bear
the weight that would be placed upon
il, but he was not willing to say that
the wall was designed in this manner
through the carelessness or inability Of
the architect.
Mr.. Eoffecker stated that while he,as
a member OF the Building Committee,
had very little interest in the matter,
he would state that only ono week ago
last Saturday Mr.. Chandler stated to
him In the presence of several others,
that had it not been for the accident to
the mill over Third street bridge, he
would not have condemned the build
ing. Mr.. Chandler denied this state
10 ent, and Mr.. Hofscker was abou. to
President Tay lor declared the dicussi0n
out Of order.
j. B. johnson WAS recalled by Mr..
Rice, and stated that while he thought
the girder could be rendered strong
enough by putting column under it,
he did not think pier could be con-
structed that would not settle, and when
1t settled it woul Id not be- safe.
James McCluskey was called by,,Mr.
Chandler, and testified that lie had
examined the tower during the after
noon and 1t was his impression that i T
1t was completed in the manner propo-
sed, q person would be just rs likely to
find 1t in the cellar, as on the roof, but
since he had heard the testimony of the
witnesses, he had come TO the conclu-
sion that as fas as the girder was con-
csrned, 1t could be made safe by put.
ting column under it.
He had not examined the walls very
particularly, but from what he noticed
of them he did not consider them strong
enough to bear the weight of the tower.
Augustus Croft testified that he be-
lieved the girder wou Id be safe with an
iron column under it, and it was his
opinion that pier could be constructed
for the column to rest on that would
not settle.
This was the last witness examined,
and the commission shortly after 10
O'Clock adjourned to meet at the High
School building this afternoon.
After the adjournment, builder who
was present during the evening, said
that he was satisfied that nothing could
be done now to make the tower perfect
~ safe that foundation for it should
have been commenced at the same time
the walls were built, 30 that both
could have settled together. He was
opposed to the tower altogether, as a
useless ornament and wilful waste of
the tax-payers' money. and did not
suppose it would eyer have been thought
of had it not been for the folly and
vanity of some one, who thought by
this means to perpetuate his name in
this comm unity.
