Fox Hunt.
Communicated

Communicated
Alex Gregg of Newark, Del,
VIM. Scott, James Mace and others
of Rising Sun, With a pack of dogs,
started for a fox hunt la t Monday
morning. Reynard was started
and gave his pursuers a fine hunt
until about 10 o'clock, when he
was driven to earth on the farm of
A. j. Conrad, in Chester county,
Pa. The huntsmen soon arrived
at the hole, and securing tools pro-
coeded to dig him out. One pit
was sunk about four feet deep, and
as they were starting to dig another
the dogs jumped into the pit and
commenced digging at the hole.
One dog crawled into the hole, but
reynard, who was determined to
defend himself, seized the dog by
the nose. VIM. Scott pulled the
dog out of the hole with reynard
still clinging on. Jame,' Mace
caught him and managed to keep
him out of reach OF the hounds.
The other men kept the togs back
while reynard was being taken ont
in the centre of a field and given
freedom once more. Another start
was made but John McCaslin's
hound was too feet for him and
thus, to the sorrow Of huntsmen
and satisfaction of farmers, ended
the career of reynard.
