The hunting party which left here
last week struck an inhospitable u
try for hunters. They went down on
Black river, in Reynolds county, to run
deer. fish, and get such other game as
they could. Everything went we'll the
first day, and they succeeded in kill
ing n deer. The next morning all
their dogs were dead-had been pois-
