HOW TO SHOE A Vicious HoasE. recent

crous mode OF shoeing horse in Germany.-As
soon as breakfast was over generally enioveJ

the shop OF blacksmith the manner in
which he tackled and shod vicious horse
amused me. On the outside of the wall Of tn.
house two rings were firmly fixed, to one Of
which the head OF the patient was ashed close
TO the ground; the hind foot to be shod stretched
out to the utmost extent of the leg, was then
secured by the other ring, about five feet high
by a cord which passed through cloven hitch.
txed to the root of the poor creatures tail The
hinh loot was consequently very much higher
than the head; indeed it was exalted. and pulled
so heavily at the tail that the animal seemed to
be quite anxious to keep his other feet on terra
hrmd. with one hocf in the heavens, il did not
suit him to kick; with his nose pointing to the in
iernai regions, he could not conveniently rear,
ana as heayy hand was apparently pulling al
his tail, the horse at last gave up the point. and
quietly submitted to he shod.
