FOX IN A CHIMNEY.
SWEEP AS HUNTSMAN. VAIN DASH FOR SAFETY. A fox which was being hunled by th# Berkeley hounds at Llanthony, Gloucestershire, recently, ran into the house of Mr. N. L. Bradley and took refuge up the chimney. A sweep had to be employed to get him out. Hounds had chased the fox to the bank of the River Severn where he took to the water and sfram across. The hounds followed, and the fox, finding the door of Mr. Bradley's houso open, dashed i", closely followed by the hounds. The fox bolted up the clnmney and there l'emained, very quiet, but iho hounds swarmed over the house and located the fox. Huntsmen tried to get the hounds out of the house, but failed, and a. sweep had to be called in to attempt to " dig out" tho fox. When tho sweep's brushes were thrust up the chimney the fox jumped out on to the roof and down on to somj back premises and made another dash for life. Hounds were close upon his heels, however, and he was killed on the river bank.
