The Daily Dispatch: December 21, 1860., [Electronic resource], Attempt to murder a Clergyman. (search)
s it relates to dogs, horses and snakes. The most veracious of mankind seem to think themselves justified in telling big stories about these animals.-- Wonderful stories are told about Prince, because, we suppose, he was a wonderful dog.--He never, it is true, took up the wood to put on the fire, or whipped the puppies because they didn't help him. He slept by a coal fire and there were no puppies to whip. But he was in the habit of waking up a servant girl, who slept in the same room, and making her put on the coal. On one occasion, when she attempted to leave the room without doing it, he interposed between her and the door, and would not let her go out until it was done. We should mention that "Maffit" was a son of Prince, and that we saw one of his descendants the other day, very much like him, and said to be a fine dog. Mr. McMurdo was also owner of the stock from which Mr. Tait'sdog and "Zac" descended. We understand Dr. Hancock has one of the breed — a very fine dog.
