It happened on. a farm near Eltham and the observer of the incident declares that he has never seen anything quite like it, says the Taranaki Herald. A fiull-sized cattle-dog, normally adrniting no superior, was put to fiight by a hawk which made furious attssks £ raa the rear, diving down to speed the dog on his way. The chase went on for some time until finally the dog tired of being pur.sued and took the aggressive, launehing a fierce attaek upon the bird, which took to the air. Hawks havo been kndwn to prey upon smaller members of the animal world, bnt it is rara that one sorts out a dog as an intended victim.
