On arriving at the summit, we found a beautiful table-land spread out, reaching for miles in every direction before us.

The soil appeared to be uncommonly rich, and was covered with a luxurious growth of musqueet trees.

The grass was of the curly musquito species, the sweetest and most nutritious of all the different kinds of that grass, and the dogs never locate their towns or cities except where it grows in abundance, as it is their only food.
We had proceeded but a short distance after reaching this beautiful prairie, before we came upon the outskirts of the commonwealth.

A few scattered dogs were seen scampering in, and, by their short and sharp yelps, giving a general alarm to the whole community.
The first cry of danger from the outskirts was soon taken up in the centre of the city, and now nothing was to be seen in any direction but a dashing and a scampering of the mercurial and excitable citizens of the place, each to his lodge or burrow.

Far as the eye could reach was spread the city, and in every direction the scene was the same.
