CLIPPING HORSES.—I know of few modern
improvements in the treatment of horses so great as that
of taking off the rough coat of a horse that is required
to do much work ; and, if it be done early in the winter
—some time, for instance, during the month of Novem-
ber—not only is there no danger, in nine cases out of
ten, of his taking cold, but the benefit he will derive
from it will generally be surprising to those who have
not been accustomed to witness its good effects. A
horse with a long rough coat, that defied the art of
man to dry after it was once well wetted, and
whose fate was accordingly to remain cold and
comfortless for hours, will, after having been
clipped, absolutely dry in the short space of ten
minutes, even after sharp work ; and, what is of still
greater consequence, dry will he remain, without the
slightest chance of his breaking out into a sweat. Oh!
the delights of bringing in your favourite hack or hunter
after a smart gallop, and finding him dry and comfort-
able, and ready for his grub, hours before he would have
touched a morsel with his thick and saturated coat
hanging abont him ; to sa3 nothing of groom's labauer
saved and time gained 1 I am certain that those who
once adopt the system of clipping their horses on the
approach of winter, if their coats be long, will ever -after
be ready to acknowledge the incalculabla advantages
obtained by it, let those who rail against it on tl,,e score
of its being unnatural, and of the new coat r.ppearing
late in the spring, say what they will.-016 Sporting
41fag. for December.
SMALL Pox.—lt will scarcely lie credited, but
it is no less true, that a person of this city, has had the
temerity to inoculate several children of the parish of
Cowley, with the small-pox, and such children are at
the present moment ill with the same disease. This
same man some few years since inoculated several chil-
dren in and about Cowley, and one of them at least died
from its effect.—Oxford Chronicle.
