MR. 31f YNELL'S MOUNDS.

Mr. Wanell's bounds lias, hail some excellent runs This
(1.11',111. Oil Satin,lay last they threw off at Black Slough,
NIA 1.11111 full ; ahrty; after a •load burst, they earthed him.
An atierupt was mad.. to dug him out ; hut considering it
labour 10 vain, the hound* were ordered home, and nearly all
the hinseinen hail dispersed. A few minutes afterwaida gine
of the !unsettle,' infurnitil Mr. Meynell that they were close
h. the ft.,. ; and in a m .it, as it were, he bolted within
fifty yank of the pack. What afforded those present a gra-
tifying algid was, the leading hound being within a few
yards of his brush, until lie reached the cover, which he
passed through, and went away in very tine style for
Shay'. of Seedy Mill ; then turned fur Haunch Hall,
ant: f thence to the left, for laingdois Church, by Mr.
Ward's house, and off to Armitage ; then turtling to
the right, lie gallantly crossed the itarigatiuu at Handset-re,
crossing the enclosures, and passing She heat of High Bridge,
hr ran along the side of the river, a twre the scene wax beau-
tifully gratifying. Hr then crossed an arts of the river, ran
throngls Mr. Lane's shralibery and plantation, and across
the Lichfield and Hr ley read, fur Orgreave. It was now
so stark that no horseman dare ride to stop the hounds, and
they were left running, and no doubt killed, as the scent lay
well. It was a hard slay, Ike fences being tryiug bulb fur
meu and harses.—(Liclyield Paper.)

FOUNDERED HORSES.

['ROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.]

The operation for the cure of founds red horses by exci-
I •
of about two Mehra of lbw principal nerves on each
stole of the pastern joint, has succeeded admirably, and it is
to he lamented that it is not more ceuerally known
noel prewiesed. Mr. Sewell, the Assistant Professor at the
Velma:try Cotlege,llolo has the exclusite ellstm to this inn
pi trrent-tit, in the course of the last IN months performed the
Q1,44.'1.11 on above 100 horses with umforns success, except,
per 1,41.0, in two or three instanees,in which there was a very
CAI organic disease of the foot. As uu former occasions of
splendid discuees ter, so in the pitmen', detraction has circu-
lated a member uf misrepresentations; but the best answer
is the work done since the excision. Although the operation
requires anatomical knowledge, it is very simple. It con-
sists in 1.1 eee se tg down upon the trunks of the nerves which
enter the foot in contact with the arteries on each side of
either the small ur bilge past/enjoin.. and then removing a
piece of the 'wive. A few mimes after the operation, the
animal walks sod time like a sound horse, who just before
could scarcely move at all, and then in extreme pain. The
principle is obvions; it is that of se eeeee viug the conductors
of stn.:thou from the disease to the brain. The division of
the arteries accompanying the nasal is carefully avoided.
The diseases of the foot in this wry cured, are too various
to mention; it is adapted fur all of them. As a case in
poisot.it may be well so mention, that Stafford O'Brien, Esq.
uf Illasherwyeke, near ibis place, had a horse (of no valuer
whatever frost, Isi• extreme lameness a short time since) ope-
rated upon by 11r. Thomp.on, the veterinary surgeon of
Oakhans, and the success of the operation has been such,
that from being quite a cripple, he is now perfectly sound,
and equal bulls in speed anti in fencing to most of the horses
in Lord Lonsdale's hunt.—(.fareforel Paper.)
