RINGWooD'S LETTER TO DASH.


Near Roserilic, Feb 26, 1927


Dean DAsn-I have been SO much engaged
lately, fox hunting, that have neglected my old
correspondence with you but paper heard
read the other day puzzles Inc not al:tle-aitho'
am called as clever a dog at smelling out any
thing, as any in the country. 1t appeared, by
what could hear oft, (for the other dogs kept
up such an internal howling that had to prick
up my ears sharply that some mohSre's or ours
in the neighborhood of certain pretender to
law making and corn grinding, had killed sheep:
whcreupon, the law making miller issues ms
proclamation, offering reward of fifty cents for
the scalp of each and cutry dog killed on hisprem-
ises.


At first felt considerably alarmed lest we
were all doomed to die sheep killers death. -
But on hearing the latter part OF the paper read,
nv fears ceased as the miller iorbds all persons,
with or without dogs or guns, TO trespass on his





grounds, if neither men nor dogs dare go on
them-I should like to have your opinion on it,
though, as YOU pointers mix more in genteel So
ciety than we hounds do, and have parlor privi-
! lcges. There is another circumstance too, that
encourages me greatly: find, by listening to
my master and others, when reading newspa-
pers, that we dogs of the true breed, are rising
highly in the public estimation, especially in
Ncw-York; where great General, and no doubt
Il u 4 1z.l haaa 4 ltrl
in their councils, that dogs ought not to be tax-
cd-long may he live!! for should the law pass
that he has recommended, it will save many a
puppy's life, and prevent the hows of many q
bereavcd dogs nanny. would sugg"-. to you
that whenever this Legislative miller passes thro
your country, that you, and as many dogs OF your
acquaintance as can be suddenly assembled, sa
lutte him with real view hollow; for why should
we dogs of blood and good descent, be inciud
ed with ours and mongrels. As the partridge
season will soon be over, hope to sec you a
our place


Very Respectfully,-your long cared croney,


RINGWOOD.
| P. 8. understand that the dog eXtcrmlIiator
has never lost sheep, either by hound, pointer
or cur Of low degree; SO that his malice is per
fectly gratuitous.


The subject of dispute, between the Ma
nagcrs of St. Peters Church and VIM. Lar
kin, having undergone an examination ant
been laid before the public. we would sug
gest to The parties the propriety of suspend
ing further alteration. We believe quite a
much has been said, as it is proper shoul
. be expressed at this time; and since the cas-
has been submitted for judicial investigatio
and decision, further newspaper discussio
:: had better cease--particularly, as the par
f ties appear to be unable to confine them
d selves to the point IN question, and are lie
from 1t by disposition to indulge in lauguag
!. quite too acrimonious to reflect any cred
v upon the writer's.


It On Tuesday last. Mrs. Millgan. an ol
e and lonely woman. who has for many yea'
ID lived entirely by herself in this borough
j. was found lying in her house dead.-She WI


burnt to death. How this awful accidel


occ urred, no ono can exactly say; but it

al frugal meal for breakfast, her clothes tos
