A Fox Hound Has Long Faet.-A let
ter from Manchester, Carroll county, says:
michael Hassett, of Manchester district, has
hound named Music which has had fast OF
81 DAYS and is still alive and recuperating.
About six weeks ago Mr.. Hassett and some
friends were having fox hunt at night. Mu-
sic and the other dogs Of Mr.. Hassetts pack
were in full cry. The chase was along. the
north side of Dug Hill, and the baying OF the
hounds was q delight to the hunters. Music Is
the pick of the pack, and her tones were easily
discernible. Suddenly they ceased altogether.
and when the horn recalled the dogs she was
missing.
"She is a valuable animal and a strict search
for her was instituted and continued day after
day. but no trace of her could be found. She
was as completely lost as if she had disap-
reared from the face of the earth, and that
was precisely what she had done. In the for
est where she was lost is an old clearing and an
abandoned cabin, which was once supplied
with water from q well AZ feet deep, and Music
was in that well for 81 days without food. 1t
had been covered, but the covering had rotted
away and in crossing it she went down.
"Clarence Theierset, of Melrose, found her.
Happening in the clearing, curiosity led him
to look down in the well, which was almost
dry Music made her presence known In faint
dog language and procuring LADDER, MT.
Theierset went down into the well and brought
her to the surface. She was living skeleton.
Mr.. Hassett was informed of the find and car
ried her to his home in his arms, and she is
now well on the way to full restoration to
health and vigor."
