Cure FOR FoUNDERED IIoRsE.-A CORES
poDdent Of the Louisville Journal says that if
horse is foundered over night he may be Gu
red in three hours, ifit is attended to in the
morning. Take pint of hogs lard and heat
it boiling hot, and after cleaning his hoof well
and taking off his shoe put his foot in the lard,
and with a spoon apply it to all parts of the hoot
as near the hair as possible. This he says he
has tried for more than fifteen years, and has
never known it ia.l. The application should bs
to the foot Of each foundercd limb.

door closed behind them the Dey uttered u
sound between sigh and roar.
THE magistrate looked out of the window,
till he saw the prisoners and their escort disup-
pear at the corner ofthe Strada Cha,amone.
Then turning to the Dey-
your highness is now at liberty toleave Ma.
PIES if he wishes so to do said the mperturba-
bic functonary with a low bow.
This very instant ! cried Hussein. Il will
not remain another moment in such barborous
country as yours
"A pleasant journey to your highness,' sad
the minister.
Go to the devil y retorted IIussein.
Before an hour had elapsed The Dey had char
tered small vessel, on board of which he en-
barked the same evening with his suite, his
wives, and his treasures I; and at midnight he
set sail, cursing the tyranny that prevented
man from drowning his wife and cutting of the
heads of his slaves. The next day the minister
OF police had the culprts brought before him
and examined. Osmn was found guilty of ha-
wing slept when he ought to have watched and
Zaida ofhavng watched when she ought to have
slept. But by some strange omission, the Nea-
poiitan code alots no punishment to such offen-
ces; and consequently Osmin and Zaida, to
their infinite astonishment were Immediately
set at liberty.-Osmin took to selling pastilles
for a livelihood and the lady got employment as
dame de compton in a coffee-house. As to the
Dey, he had left Naples with the intention of
going to England, in which country he had
| been informed, man is at liberty to sell his
| wife, if he may not drown her. He was taken
! i'll, however, on the road, and obliged to stop
at Leghorn, where he died.

thousard feet in length 10y fiye hundred wide,
enclosed on two sides by the bold and graceful
