An INTREPID HoRsE.-Some time since, John
Duke, the hind of Conishead Priory, was at
lacked by an OK in most savage and desperate
manner and in all probability would have bee..
gored to death had not young horse come Il,
ns 1 rescue The generous animal hearing the
cres OF the man, fell gallantly to work with his
teeth, biting the OK wherever he could get a
mold The fury of the OK being thus diverted
from Duke, who lay on the ground gave him
l'me to escape. We need scarcely add that the
yyonng horse received no injury, being too fleet
for the savage beast.

EvEsEMrNr. oath july,

1t is needless to proong this article There
is enough in these two passages of French his
tory alone, to demonstrate the untruth of what
is so frequently reported about the cruelty of
Frenchmen. The French, on the contrary, are
the most humane people in the world, not ex-
ceptng our own, and it is their mission, by
means of democratic institutions, not only TO
reform government, but to re-organze society
