Curious Icelandic Custom. The Icelsn
dsrs have curious custom, and most
effectusl one too. of preventing horses
from straying. which believe is entirely
peculiar to this island. Two gentlemen.
for instance, are riding together without
attendants, and wishing to alight for the
purpose Of visiting some object at a dis-
lance from the road. they tic the head Of
one horse TO the tail Of the other, and tho
head Of this to the tail Of the former. In
this state it is utterly impossible that they
can move either backwards or forwards,
one pulling one way. and the other sno.h-
er way; aud therefore il disposed to move
at all, il will be only in circle, and even
then there must be an agreement to turn
their heads the same way.-Barro,cs visis
