HoRsE-SHoEINe. The following very exceedingly
sensible remarks from the pen of Mr.. Miles, vet
Urinary surgeon the Queen of Engands life-guards,
and author of several valuable veterinary works. We
commend them most particularly to the notice of ev-
cry person who has that valuable and almost indis-
pensable animal the horse in his charge. That class
of persons justly characterized by Surgeon Miles
asnne smiths invited to give their atten-
ton:
The shoes of the horse should be of equal thick
throughout, with fiat ground surface, those
with high heels, which asnne smiths make in imi-
tation of their own, dangerously absurd. The
which ought 10 be raised lowered, and natures
plan reversed, which elevaes the point in order to
avoid distractions The web should be wide, and of
the width throughout, instead of being pinched
in, because the smith likes to the shoes well set
off at the heels. This is both unphiosophical and
detrimental it deceiEes the eye of man, and Injuries
the foot of the horse The outer edge of the foot rests
on the inner edge of the shoe, and the remaining
width of the web projects beyond the hoof; SO that
the who thinks his horse has good open foot
only has to be proud of bad open shoe, which both
conceals deformities underneath, and invites with
open arms bad road to come and do its worst. The
heels made bare just where the navcu'ar joint is
most exposed and if that be inf1amed, what must
the agony be when the unprotected foot tIeads on
sharp flint The horse falls suddenly lame, drops
as if he had been shot-phrases in much too common
use require explanation; and small is the pity
which the suffering animal meets with from man,
who, having first destroyed the use of his victims
feet, abuses him because he cannnt go and imputes
grogginess " to him cime if he were in liquor
like groom, and not in agony.

A DIGNtrARY ON HIS OWN Hook. The London
correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer
the following incident attending the Inauguration of
the Great Fair:
Conspicuous among the corps dipi0matique, and in
immediate proximity to the very throne of Royalty,
was person in the costume of Mandarin, who had
assumed tina position of right, and whom the pub
lie and the officials of the Exhibition believed to be
the " Chinese Ambassador"
This dignitary made the acquaintance on the spot,
and upon his own introduction, of the Duke of Vel
lington the Marquis of Angesea, the Archbishop Of
Canterbury, and many other of the highest persons
in the realm and regarded with extreme respect
by the Assembly, until it remarked, that when
he Joined the :. procession" which accompanied the
Queen, in making the circuit of the Exhibition, his
diplomatic brethren seemed rather to give the China
man the cold shoulder - and at length little in
quiry and reflection awakened remembrance of the
fact that there is such person as " Chinese Am
bassador - in London and the discovery of most
superb imposture was at length completed by the
circumstance that gentleman connected with the
Morning Post newspaper recognized in his sodisant
Excellency less or other person than the distn-
guished - Mandarin who exhibits himself daily in
the Chinese Junk, at the small charge of shil
ing 20 and of whose actual rank and dignity in the
Celestial Empire, malicious rumor alleges, on our
own positive knowledge, to be such as we may de-
duce from the fact that His Excelency first visited
this country in the capacity Of ships cook! This
discovery, however, was not made until the ceremo-
NAL of g opening the Exhibition was concluded,
and the Mandarin retired in peace, having succeeded
most brilliantly in mis- undertaking, and receiving
from the not vet undecided crowd outside the build
inp the warmest demonstrations of respect and well
come e, as he passed through their ranks on his way
to the oicicial residence, in the Ihames-Basin.

Our Public School.--By reference tie the Re-
port of the State Superintendent, an extract from
which will be found in our paper Of to-day,i il
will be seen that the public school of the city Of
Kenosha ranks in all respects the first in the
State.
An intelligent; gentleman, from Massachusetts,,
familiar with all her internal affairs who has been
stopping in our city few days, took occasion
to visit our school, He could not refrain from
expressing his surprise th.t SO much has been
accomplished in so brief time. The house, the
progress, the proficiency, and discipline of the
scholars were worthy of old settled states, and
long continued systems. II is an evidence only
of what may be done by commencing right and
persevering. Our citizens thus far have shown
determination to make the school all it should
be, and if that determination be but adhered to,
what we now witness is but faint beginning Of
the good results we shall experience. Nearly
$4,000 is the portion of Kenosha county in the
state school fund, equal TO about so cents for each
scholar in the county.

Fire.-Our city alarmed on Tuesday night
last about 10 o'clock, by an alarm of fire. The fire
was found to proceed from small untenanted WOO
den building, situated on the island, but was soon
extinguished after the engines brought to bear
on it. Loss but trihing. Those of us who were
fortunate enough to be called out by this alarm
were amply compensated for all the trouble by the
opportunity afforded Of Witnessing the most magn-
fcent display of heavenly pyrotechnics, it has ever
been our lot to behold. From the north there shot
up towards the zenith, columns of light composed
bined, flashing up ana disappearing, and changing

abroad Haunting their gayess banners 1t was a
sight rare to behold and long to be remembered by
those who love the beautiful in nature.

hurricane which she encountered on her ninth

ran westward six days and half under SAIL and

was chartered TO bring her freight, and arrived
with it at Liverpool on the 4th inst. Her mails
and passengers came by the Africa. 1t will take
months to repair her machinery.
The crew and passengers Of the Atlantic are

gers at Cork, bearing high testimony to the great
power of the ship in contending for nine days
against an amos, unparalleled western gale, and
to her admirable conduct under sail in returning
eighteen hundred miles. They award high
praise to Capt. West for his exertions, but more
particularly to Mr.. Shuplant, the first officer,

Spirit Rappings.-A communication from
friend on the subject of the Milwaukee Spiritual
Demonstrations, will be found in another column
We have conversed also with another friend, who
has heretofore considered these Milwaukee Demon
STATIONS ahumbug, 'butwho having recently visited
and tested them, states his perfect confidence that
what he heard and witnessed was not done by any
visible, mortal agency. Our own experience in the
matter has heretofore been stated. We visited them
and came away satisfied that We had heard and wit
messed that which was not and could not be done
by human means; we visited them again and heard
and saw that which thought done by hu-
man agency, and which detected human agency
in doing, which naturally led us to doubt and dis
trust the whole matter. A careful comparison of
facts derived from undoubted testimony, leads us
to the conclusion, that the same unexplainable ma
nfestations and sounds which are heard and seen
other places, exist at this locality, in Milwaukee,
and the deception which was attempted the
act solely of unthinking children, easy to be detec
ted, and with neither the sanction or knowledge of
parents or any other person. AS to the want of in
telgence frequently manifested, and the incorrect
answers frequently given, at Milwaukee and else
where, think it is explainable though it is not
necessary that we should attempt to explain it now
