BLIND HORSES.


Mr.. EDITOR If you will be good enough
to publish my observations on Blind Horses
and Blind Brides, you will greatly aid in over
throwing a folly which antiquity has fastened
on the noble Horse. I aIlude to the great fol-
ly of using the Blind Bride, which is exceed
ingly injurious to the Horses eyes; because
few drivers are careful enough to see well to
the blinds of brides so as to have a proper
care that they are pressed open that the ami
NAL might see ; and then, if this be not well
done, by the motion of the Horse, they flap at
every step the animal makes. So, the fas:er
he goes, the faster they flap on the eye, or
otherwise chafe the eye, until a fever comes
on and a dull sleepy appearance the eyes have,
which is a prelude to blindness. Many per-
sons wrongfully insist that Blind Brides pre-
vent a Horse from becoming heightened, par
ticularly by a noise in the ear yet, they admit
that he must see only in front, and the danger
of a Horse running away occurs from a noise
in his ear, instead from an alarm in front of
him. To have gentle Horses, they should see
all around them and. on hearing a noise, if
they could turn their heads and see it. unless
it was extraordinary, they would soon become
satisfied that no danger was near. But, hear
ing a noise, and the poor animals eyes encased
IN a leather prison, they become alarmed at
nothing and runaway at least nineteen out
Of twenty Horses become blind from the use
Of these brides. They attract heat, prevent
the dust from passing over the eyes, where
it settles, and is rubbed in the eye by the
blinds of the destructive brides. A more
wiser name could not be invented than the
Blind Brides The Horses owned by many
country people, who simply put on a rope
bride, with a bit, are never known to 90 blind
unless injured in their eyes by some Other
means. Riding Horses, used for the saddle
seldom 20 blind. This is easy of demonstra
ton, as they are not used on the bride. II
France, it seems, and at the North. the ole
murderous brides are going out of use, and i
yet remains to reason and humanity to sa,
how long this old cruel system will prevail a
I, mong those who admire the Horse.

SCION ROBINSON.

We can adj our OWN testimony to the
value of the Sweet Gum tea, having expe-
rienced amazing and speedy relief from its
use in a violent case of d~ysentery, which
refused to yield to the usual remedies !; we
have also seen in the last Eve years, its Won
derful benefit in many other cases we have
used the detection made from the bark both
green and dried, and have discovered no
material difference in the effect, both being
eficacious .-FrankliR Farmer.
1 met with the foregoing valuable recipe
several years since, and | have only to add,
what has already been said by the Frank
lin Farmer that | have witnessed speedy
relief in violent cases Of d~ysentery which re,
fused to yield to the usual remedies, by the
use of the Sweet Gum; having it at com
mand, ] have used the fresh or green bark
and ! can with much confidence recommend
its use from my own experience.

VALUABLE REcIPE.-The worst case of
cholera morbus. ~dysentery. and lux, that
ever I saw, l have repeatedly cured in a few
minutes, by a strong tea made of the bark
of the Sweet Gum taken green from the
tree is best-steep a handful to a pint of
water until the liquor is like good coffee
Drink it clear, or sweeten it with loaf sugar,
or add a wine glass of good brandy if the
attack is severe. If not infallible, it is re.
markable in its effects, and well worth being
known and tried in every family.

CoRNs.-A friend informs US that a bet
ter remedy than that recommended by
Chambers Journal, for these troublesome
nuisances, is the natural turpentine, which
exudes from the pine tree. 1t should be
spread thickly upon a bit of rag, and kept
upon the part for five or six DAYS.

MosT AMUSING SCENE.-A few weeks
since, says the n. 0. Picayune, while court
was sitting at Paris, in Lamar county, Texas,
and while the tavern of Mr.. Tucker was filed
with lawyers, l~itigants, witnesses, &c "a rob
berry was committed upon the premises, at
tended with most ludicrous circumstances
Mr.. Tucker and his numerous guests retired
to their beds at the usual hour, and after a
night of profound and undisturbed slumber a.
woke, every mothers sen of them, coatless and
pantaloonslesS-some daring thief had entered
their sleeping apartments, and had abstracted
and carried off every rag of clothing belonging
to every soul in the house. The Bonham
Advertiser intimates that when the fact was
known, and the thing understood, a series of
tableaur riUGntS, of the most ludicrously inter-
esting nature, were offered by the earmentless
dodgers, the sufferers themselves laughing long
and heartily at the ridiculous figures each
other cut while shying and lodging about in
search Of their missing clothing. 1t was not
long however, before the missing garments
were found stacked in the public square, with
er the burglar had carried them; and now
came the serious feature of the business-everv
pocket had been rummaged, every red cent
taken, all were empty. Several emigrants had
lost all their money. and the lawyers attending
the court were reduced to a par with the eli
ents who had the day before lined their pock-
cts for them. Some fouI hundred and odd
dollars was the net profit of that particular
nights work to the e~nterprising protector
who got entirely off undetected.
