A large dog, of the niaftiff breed, happened topafs near a game cock, when the latter, without any provocation, aflailed the dog with the utmost violence. Ibe dog became irritated and in his turn attacked the game cork. A severe combat cnlued; but the vigilance and dexterity of the cock ducted every attempt of the dog to hurt him. At length the cock flew upon the dog’s back, and with ms beak aftually put out both his eyes. He then continued the attack with so much ferocity that in a short time die dog fell to the ground, when the cock flruck him a blow with his lied, which pe netrated to his brains, and he instantly expired. There were above 500 persons witnefles to this curious battle. Fifty guineas were offered for the game cock and refilled. October 15.
