Near Elizabethtown, Bladen county. on the
18th ultimo, Mrs. Mary Jane Mcdowell, relict of
the late DIR. Mcdowell, in the esd year of her age.
She was not an ordinary woman. There was
lovely combination of those excellencies of cha
racter which constitute true greatness. Having
fine intellectual capacities of great equanimity and
discrimination, with heart noble and generous,
it was not the least surprising that, though she
had enough of this worlds gilded treasures to at
tract and fascinate ordinary minds, she should be
won by the higher and more elevating glories OF
the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ"
For more than twenty long years had she been
in communion with the M. E. Church, sustaining
at all times, such. reputation above question
Her generous heart always responsive to the calls
of the needy, found much consolation in redressng
their wants. and what she did it was done " will.
IingIy and of necessity" Her house was emphati-
calIy the g home" of the Christian Evangelist
who, having I" left all " to seek the &c lost sheep
of the house of Israel" in that region of country
who, though he were ga stranger, she took
him in,' and he felt at once that he had found q
home. Her piety was unobtrusive; being alike
free from ostentation and bigotry, it had force
and defniteness about it that, without afectation
made known to all the noble purposes of her hear
with regard to this life and that also which is tc
come. So that, when the final hour came, she
was ready. The last enemy found that, having
done all, she was prepared to stand.
Her last days, which were days of great bodily
agony, were spent at the house of her son-in-aw
DR.. H. H. Robinson, but amid the agonies of slow
dissoving nature, she enjoyed the rich foretaste
of the world to come" and exhorted, and comfort
ed, and blessed her friends, and bid them long,
last farewell for time, and sweety fell asleep il
Jesus.

Il When all my warfares past;
/ And dying, find my latest foe
/ Under my feet at last" TBEoPHILus.

Hon to subdue a viciouS Horse-The follow
ing fact occurred yesterday. A beautiful and
high spirited horse would never allow shoe
to be put on his feet, or any person to handle
his feet, without resort to every species OF
power and means to control him. At one
time he was nearly crippled by being put IN
the stocks he was afterwards thrown down
and fettered; at another time one of our most
experienced horse shoers was unable to man.
age him by as many hands as could approach.
In an attempt to shoe this horse yesterday, he
resisted all efforts, kicked aside everything but
an anvil, and came near killing himself ag ainst
that, and finally was brought back to his STA
BILE unshod This was his only defect; in all
other respects he is gentle and perfectly do
Gle, especially in harness. But this defect
was Just on the eve of consignng him TO the
plough, where he might work barefoot, when
| by mere accident, an officer in our service,
lately returned from Mexico, was passing, and
being made acquainted with the difficulty, ap-
/ piled complete remedy by the following
Issmple process -
He took cord about the size of common
bed cord, put it in the mouth Of the horse like
d bit, and tied it tightly on the top of the ami
i mails head, passing his left ear under the
string, not painfully tight, but tight enough
TO keep the ear down and the cord in its place
This done, he patted the horse gently on the
side of his head anf commanded him to fol.
low, and instantly he horse obeyed, perfectly
subdued and as gentle and obedient as a well
trained dog suffering his ieet to be lifted with
entire impunity, aEt acting in all respects
like an old stager. That simple string, thu:
tied, made him at once docile and obedient al
any one could desire. The gentleman who
thus furnished. this exceedingly simple means
of subduing very dangerous propensity, IN
Inmates thai. it is practised in Mexico anc
South America in the management OF Wl'
horses. Be this as It may he deserves tn
thanks OF all owners OF such horses. ana e e:
pecially the thanks OF those whose bulness
NAV be TO shoe or groom the animals.
