How TO SHOE A Vicious Horse. A recent
Continental traveller relates the following ludi-
crous mode Of shoeing horse in Germany -
AS soon as breakfast was over l generally
enjoyed the luxury Of riding about town, and in
passing the shop OF blacksmith the manner in
which he tackled and shod vicious horse anus
ed me. On the outside Of the wall OF the house
two rings were firmly fixed, to one OF which
the head of the patient was lashed close
to the ground; the hind loot to be shod, stretched
out to the utmost extent Of the leg, was then Sc
cured by the other ring, about FIVE feet high, by
cord which passed through cloven hitch, fixed
to the root of the poor creatures tail. The hind
foot was consequently very much higher than
the head indeed 1t was exalted, and pulled SO
heavily at the tail that the animal seemed to be
quite anxious to keep his other feet on terrdJ fir
ma With one hoof in the heavens, it did not suit
him to kick; with his nose pointing TO the infer
nal regions, he could not conveniently rear; and
as heavy hand was apparently pulling at his
tail the horse at last gave up the point, and qui-
city submitted TO be shod." a stsT
