four feet long, made of braided raw horse

to the conclusion that half dozen blows
upon the bare back of human being,
would entitle him to place in the hospi-
tai of the incurables." 1t is not improb-
able that the "tasker" had dropped his
whip for time, and the poor wretches
purchased themselves a temporary respite
from its use, by dropping it into the mo-
lasses and heading it up. Perhaps, too,
the artifice was discovered, and the offend

To MANAGE REARING HORSE In
preference to the dangerous experiment
of pulling a rearing horse back wards, |
recommend the adoption of the following
method - Whenever you perceive the
horses inclination to rear, separate your
reins and prepare for him The instant
he is about to rise slacken one hand, and
bend or twist his head with the other,
keeping your hands low The bending
compels him to move hind leg, and of
necessity brings his fore feet down. In
stantIy twist him completely round two or
three times, which will confuse him very
much, and comp etel y throw him off his
guard. The moment you have finished
twisting him round, place his head in the
direction You wish him to proceed, apply
the whip two or three times severely
The horse perhaps, viii not be quite salts
fed with the first defeat, but may be dis
posed to try again for the mastery. Should
this be the case, you have only to twist
him, &c. as before, and you will find IN
the second struggle, he is much more
easily subdued than on the former occa-
slon-in fact, you will perceive him quail
under the operation. 1t rarely happens
that rearing horse, after having been
treated in the way described, will resort to
his trick third time. But in going into
other hands, and having another rider, he
will be very likely to have recourse to
rearing.-Te Sportsman.
PIT OF HUMAN BoNEs-A singular
discovery has been made in Canada, about
l miles from Dundas. The earth was
seen to be sunk about Is inches, which
| caused search to be made; when a large
number of pits, ten or twelve in number,
were found, containing human bones, and
various Indian implements, evidently
showing that not far from two thousand
| Indians had been huddled into these re-
ceptacles, and buried without the least
order or system, and in great haste
Large trees were growing over some of
these sepulchres; the kettles, pots hatch
cts, brass spoons, earthern cups, wampum,
&C., were rotted and decayed, evidently
showing that they had been a long time
buried. One hundred and twenty-five
skeletons were found in one of the pits.
and the developer says that some of the
skeletons must have belonged to men as
much as eight feet in height. There is
probably some Indian tradition which
would throw light and interest on this
curious hill of human bones.
A VERY SIMPLE BUT VERY EFFIcA-
C1oUs REMEDY.-A gentleman was COM
ing to this city from New York some
days ago, when he happened to get spark
from the locomotive engine into his eve.
He tried various means to remove it, but
all TO no purpose; the spark remained in
his eye, and gave him very great pain
Coming on board the steamboat at Bur
lington, such was the pain that he suffer-
ed that the accident became known to the
passengers generally, and finally reached
the ears Of the Engineer OF the boat, who
taking a horse hair with him went to the
cabin and sought the sufferer Are YOU
the gentleman said he, "who has GOT a
spark in your eye?' being answered in the
affirmative, "well, am the man that can
take it OUT whereupon he simply form
ed kind of loop of the horse hair by
bending it round and bringing the two
ends together, when raising the eve-lid
and inserting the loop between it and the
eye-ball, and then letting the lid fall again,
he drew the hair out, and with it the little
cause of the great pain. The gentleman
was at once relieved.
This is very simple way Of relieving
whatever may have got into the eve, and
it will be we'll for every body to remem-
Der.
REVIVAL AMONG sEAmEN At LAt1A1-
NA.--Thirty-eig ships have visited La
hana this fall, and the Lord has been with
US by his Spirit We have seen more of
revival among seamen, within a few
weeks, than we perhaps ever witnessed.
The Wor k commenced at sea through the
distribution of few tracts by pious cap
tain, and was increased in port. After
solemn meeting on board one evening, in
which some one had recently found the
Saviour, came out boldly Upon the Lords
side. One master who had been serious
for some time, was more deeply impressed.
