ORtotN or bots IN HORSES, M THEE
cunE--l have observed lately much sPecu-
latien as to the origin Of the bot OF grub.
| have read Mr.. MitchelI's account of his
experiment in killing the worm, after
taking it from tho stomach Of tho dead
horse.
As it should be our object TO do all the
good we can 10 mankind, | feel it my duty
to give tho world what | think a certain
remedy for the bot or grub, without com.
menting how they find their way into the
horses stomach, or how they arc formed.
It is enough that such a thing does exist
as bots in horses, and that it is important
how to get rid of them. when we ascer-
tain our horse is affected by them.
To make tho bot or grub let go his hold,
give tho horse a quart of molasses or dis
solved sugar, with a quart of sweet milk !:
in thirty minutes you will find the horse
at case !; then pulverize n eighth of n
pound Of alum, dissolve it in a quart of
warm water, and drench your horse after
which-in two hours or less--give the
horse one pound Of salts, and you will find
the bots in his dung. | think this is, after
all the speculations and cures | have seen,
the emily thing that will, 10 a certainty, re-
move the bots.
The molasses and milk cause The bot 10
let 20 and prey upon the sweets; the alum
contracts him, and the salts pass him off.

RELIGIOUS notwithstanding Of the

Wing relates the following anecdote of the
Prophet Matthias:
THE Prophet conabiled with the wife OF a
retired New York merchandise became
pregnant-and his dupes were taught by him
to leok to her issue, for the veritable S!mon-
pure Messiah !! The event, as may be sup
posed, was awaited in a state of great anxiety
by the gulled. 1t came at last, as in the
course of nature all such events willard
the long looked for-the promised Messiah,
turned out to be a-girl! Matthias, after that,
upon a snail suspicion of debt. accompanied
with a charge OF swindling, was consigned tc
the narrow cells of a prison this at least,
we believe was his fate. -
