John E. Coulbourn, a well-known
farmer living on large farm near
Cannon's Station, on the Delaware
railroad, has fox hound that is a very
valuable animal. 1t is used for fox
hunting, for rabbit hunting, and on
the farm is the equal of any Scotch
Tor looking after the stock. If
-..ses and cattle are in a field, and
the horses are wanted, word of com
mand to the dog is given and he will
bring the horses only. He cuts them
out and brings them to the barn. If
they want the cattle, he will do the
same and leave the horses. A short
time ago one of the horses stra yed
away; the dog was put on his trail and
followed it about two miles to where
the horse was found in the woods. A
dog like that is valuable, and any man
30 fortunate to be its owner would be
glad to have it assessed as personal
property and pay a county tax on it: SO
that its ownership could be protected
by law, and he be held responsible for
its acts.
