NEW FORM OF HUNTING.
“Bag piping ” is a new form of hunting recently discovered by Mr Donald McLean late of Scotland, and now of the town of Wassaw (Canada). McLean has a little shanty out in the woods He was deer hunting there, and had two fine bucks hanging from a tree. Returning from another expedition at nightfall he heard the howls of a big pack of timber wolves. He did not want to lose his deer, and he knew his rifle would be useless in the dark. So he seized his trusty bagpipe. “The Campbells are Cornin’ —Tra-la, tra-Ia !” he piped. The wolves stopped a short way from camp. The strains of “Loch Lomond” next shivered the wintry air. The howling ceased for a moment. McLean next sent one of bis own compositions over the waste, and the wolves turned and loped for the woods. There has not been a wolf near the camp since.
