Wright, Chauncey, great brain-power requisite for language; on correlative acquisition; on the enlargement of the brain in man. Wright, Mr., on the Scotch deer-hound; on sexual preference in dogs; on the rejection of a horse by a mare. Wright, W. von, on the protective plumage of the Ptarmigan. Writing.
I have myself generally coursed with scratch packs, including perhaps a couple of greyhounds, a wire-haired deer-hound, and two or three long legged mongrels. However, we generally had at least one very fast and savage dog a strike dog in each pack, and the others were of assistance in turning the game, sometimes in tiring it, and usually in helping to finish it at the worry.
Some hunters prefer the smooth greyhound, because of its great speed, and others the wire-coated animal, the rough deer-hound, because of its superior strength; both, if of the right kind, are dauntless fighters. Colonel Williams' greyhounds have performed many noble feats in wolf-hunting.
He had gone out to try to get a stag, and had his gun and a deer-hound with him. He saw the men on the hill doing something, and thinking they had got a deer, he went towards them. When he got near them, the hound began to run on in front of him, and at that minute he saw what it was they had.
Sheila knew that the blood was mantling in her cheeks; that her heart was full of joy; that her whole frame so tingled with life and spirit that, had she been in Borva, she would have challenged her deer-hound to a race, and fled down the side of the hill with him to the small bay of white sand below the house. She did not pause for a minute when she reached the hotel.
Of the Picts there were about 100 slaine." Mr. H.D. Richardson describes a cross between the greyhound and British bloodhound: "It is a tall muscular raw-boned dog, the ears far larger, and more pendulous, than those of the greyhound or deer-hound. The colour is generally black, or black and tan; his muzzle and the tips of the ears usually dark.
What, therefore, could she give those two men if they brought back her deer-hound but all the money she had? It was a hard thing to wait here in the greatest doubt and uncertainty while the afternoon was visibly waning. She began to grow afraid. Perhaps the men had stolen the dog, and left her with this shovel as a blind.
It was the contrast between the slow-hound and the deer-hound; each alike high bred; but the former, short, sturdy, cheerful, and sagacious; the latter tall, stately, melancholy, and not over-wise withal.
One day, after a hard morning's work, Arthur Gilpin found himself approaching the rear of a hut, on an out station, at the extreme end of the territory over which the cattle ranged the whole being considerably larger than many a German principality. In this case the animal was a remarkably handsome deer-hound, of a size and strength sufficient to drag him from his horse.
Everyone was glad of a holiday next morning, and all lingered over the breakfast-table, till Mrs Jo suddenly exclaimed: 'Why, there's a dog! And on the threshold of the door appeared a great deer-hound, standing motionless, with his eyes fixed on Dan. 'Hallo, old boy! Couldn't you wait till I came for you? Have you cut away on the sly?
