TURNING A SIlUR CORNER.

A horse thief recently made halt at
Il public house in Wayne county-threw
the bride TO a loafng looking fellow
who was summing against he house,
and ordered him To- see the animal
stabbed instanter. "NoI as YOU knows
on replied the luZaroni: but the SIGHT
OF Il shilling changed his mind, Causing
him 10 accede 10 the request on condition
that he could ride. Mount was the
word, which was done accordingly.
when, at the precise moment, the thief
saw horse approaching AT top speed,
HON his professional eye at once de
tected US grabber of such dealers as
himself. q IIck as the fash Of genus
he told the loaier 10 course the horse

him To the barn; and giving him u sly
cut, had the satisfaction of seeinr

constable, thinking e had got sight
OF the object Of his pursuit. dashed
past the tavern, without bestowir q
any attention on tho fellow standing
there, and, after running about eighty
rods, succeeded in coming a lonCside of
the chase. OF course the loaler came
back prisoner, charged with hayins
stolen the horse.
Not doubling bu: he should exonerate
himself, aud get shi ling on his return,
he DO e all with perfect composure; but,
on nearing the place whence he started,
he exclaimed with great bite mess look
ing towards a large range Of woods.
"D-n him he's Off with INV shil ing,
and I've lost my sucks after all!n Sure
enough nc was on-hoving just entered
the wood as the cquesirians reached the
tavern, losing his horse, but saving his
bacon. OF course, the landlord cleared
the loaier of having been guilty OF the
theft, remarking that, in the first place,
ne was too shiitless 10 steal; and, in the
next, too lazy 10 run away, even if he
had. The real thief showed no comm IN

LICE On AM NALS.-ln ordinary
cases, they do not produce much mis-
chief, but when they increase so much
rs to produce the disease called Phthi
riasiS they became truly formidable -
When we see horses rubbing their tails.
biting their names, and showing other
signs Of uneasiness and irritation, when
cattle are observed 10 be rubbing their
heads against posts or fences, and the
hair coming Off from the head and neck :.
or when sheep tear out tufts OF WOO
with their teeth, and bite these places
till blood appears, we may expect that
lice are present. On most animals,
these parasites have some favoritc place
of resort; on horses, the name and tail,
on horned catt c, around the nose base
Of the horns, and The I.eck; on sheep,
they run over everv part; and on swine
they do not seem 10 he con Aimed 10 any
part cuIar location.
Pure air, room for exercise, plenty Of
food. and, above alt, clean mess, are the
first Kings to be attended to in the cure
Of this evil. Eurrying, brushing, and
washing, Ghould be reSorted 10, as. en-
cept in bad cases, this treatment will be
usually sufficient TO free the amin At from
these insects without recourse 10 o,her
remedies
One Of the most common remedies is
the mercureal ointment, unguenium
but this, though eiTectua', cannot be used
without some danger. 4 decotion Of to-.
ba Geo leaves, in u strong lye, forms a
very good wash; 5ut this, too, owing 10
The narcotic poison Of the Tobacco, has
caused death. II is said that the water
in which The skins or parings Of pola
toes have been boiled will checiually
destroy lice by few washings. The
internal use Of sui phur is an excellent
remedy, and if given TO animals occa.
sionally is one of the best prevcniives.
1t is more difficult To api ~ remedies
for lice TO sheep than any other ami
IN Ils. The English shepherds make
use Of Salvc compounded Of white arse
mic and corrosive subIima:e, carefully
parting the wool, and applying the
Ointmcnt in small quantities directly to
the skin, and rubbing il down with the
finger Tester prefers tobacco smoke
10 this ointment, as involving less dan
ger in its use. The sheep is held in
such a manner that tobacco smoke is
forced from bellows among the wool TO
the skin in all directions. After this
fumigarion, the sheep must be placed in
the open air, that the vapor may have
room TO pass Off without being inhaled
by them. Perhaps the best remedy for
lice in animals, where they have not be-
come SO numerous as to produce the d.
sease phthiriasis, is to- rub any oil, such
as whale oil or melted lard, on su IN pla
ccs as they most frequent, or on parts
ofthe animal where they will be mos
! likely to come in contact without. All
the pedicuil breathe through what are
termed spirucles or openings in their
bodies and the least particle Of oil spread
over their bodies by eau ng sulTocaiion
at once effects their destruction. Thi,
is also a perfectly harmless remedy -
But prevention in this case is better
than care; and neatness, cleanliness land
good keeping, by insuring comfort and
health, leaves no opportunity for the at
tacks Of yermin .-CultiUdiOT.
