Wonderful Sagacity Ofa Horse.

Some short time since. while spending
few days in old Prince George at the house
of friend met with several gentlemen, and
among them DR.. R""#.#*n OF Calvert; and
his brother; after conversing upon various top
les, the conversation turned upon horses, and
some very surprising stories were related oil
the wonderful sagacity of that animal One
gentleman said that he once owned n little mare
who invariably refused to pass by window
with red curtains, and attributed it TO the fact
other once having been owned by an old gen
tleman who was remarkably fond Of his glass
and as red curtains are commonly used for
bar-rooms, she had contracted the habit ofstop-
ping At such places We'll said DR.. r., turn
ing TO his brother Tom you remember my rid
ing horse, "Old Charley"-lt's positive fact
that he was in the habit of feigning the belly
ache for the sole purpose of getting drink Of
whiskcy and the way | Detected him was
this: observed that he never had an attack
except when in the immediate neighborhood
of one of our villages or country stores. Ii
happened on one occasion that the store neai
which he was then was out of whiskey, with
which had been in the habit Of drenchine
him so was compelled to give him some splril'
of turpentine; he never was attacked near thai
store again, but at the other places continued
TO have his attacks, began to suspect him
and commenced giving him turpentine at the
other places; and true as preaching. wherev-
er he gol turpentine in place Of whiskcy, his
attacks were never felt as usual. | used to
humor him, give him his whskey and never
wanted whip or spur to ride with but as sure
as undertook TO ride him without his dram,
he would act out the character OF the dullest
brute that ever wore hair Washington Netos.

The bill from the House for the relief oil Ge

contended that it belonged to that State.

NUMBER 155.

not be sufficient TO supply the wants OF the
clover crop the second year, SO ast produce
great luxuriance of growth This is merely
suggestive on our part, and we do not wish 1t
TO be inferred from what we say, that We
doubt the ability Of guano to produce an abun-
dant crop of clover; on the contrary, We have
the most unlimited confidence that it would do
SO, on any soil in which there We're organic re.
mains; US among its other offices. we believe
that it possesses that ofa converter, through its
ammoniacal compounds, and that to its efficient
powers of decomposition are its virtues-much
of ITS wonderful eficacy-to be ascrlbed. We
incline to the opinion, also,that all worn-out
lands. which may have been originally good,
will be the better of receiving dressing OF
lime or mari, as the groundwork OF their i'm
provement. If mari be used the same season
with guano. or any other highly concentrated
animal manure, the mari being in carbonate
form, cannot act antagonistlc to such substan-
ces; though freshly Stacked lime would. A.
gain, We entertain the opinion that, to ensure
the heathful growth of clover the soil upon
which it may be grown must have in 1t nota-
bic quantities of lime and potash and that the
failure Of clover is owing in many instances, In
a great measure, to the deficiency OF these sub
stances in the soils where such failures take
Il place.
Entertaining these views, we feel 1t to be
our duty to state them, and will concluds by
saying that we have seen very luxuriant growth
ofclover the second year after an appIicationof
200 lbs. Of guano and half bushel of plaster
per acre, when crop of wheat was seeded the
second spring, however.the clover had had
bushe of plaster per acre sown broadcast over
II; and what has been done may be done a
gain.
We hold that Lime should form the basis OF
all permanent improvement Of worn.out lands
and thnt guano is the sovereignest thing on
earth in the shape OF animal manures.

citizen of this place We learn that the trial OF
the parties surviving the last fray at tobacco

wounded has resulted in their acquiltal. The
account further states that the clans respective.

the Murphys and Mays, who still refuse to
treat. 1t is also stated that by the various bat

A Rich 'E'rinI.

The Cincinnati Enquirer gives an account
Of a trial in the Mayors court IN that city as
follows. Bucktown, we believe. is a portion OF
Cincinnati, inhabited entirely by negroes;
A noted citizen of Bucktown was brought
before the Mayor a few days since, charged
with committing an assault and battery. The
manner in which he made The assault was ra.
ther extraordinary. lie seized the hand Of his
antagonist between his teeth, aud jumped
down perpendicular bank twenty feet high,
and adroity contrvng to fall on his head, es-
capped without harm, while his adversary, stri.
king feet foremost, was severely injured. Such
a trick, it is said. was never before known 10
be played in Bucktown.
Several Witnesses were called to throw light
upon The dark picture. One OF them rendered
himsefup as follows:
Il was whar nobody couldn't soc me. and |
didn't see no fight but | heerd great and
dreadful noise. 1t was anoise of blasphezous
cussin and swearin. The beeent armies bad
gathered, and the women had cum about, and
the children. This man he was wantin to
attack his enemy, and hoored for his pistols
but the wimmum he um, and wouldn't bring
no pistols. And thar was great shout OF
the odder side of de fence, saying, Let de mig
gar cum Bofe of de nggars make remarks
that | thot was quarfor Chrissen pussens to say
So | saw nobody dangus, and | went to m,
business, and that's all know Of de fight, anc
to such as | hav said do soIlenIy swar."
This witness was the most important on
summoned in the case. and his statement car
ried with it great weight 1t not being clearly
proven, however that the august prisoner jump
ed down the bank as stated, with the Others
fingers in his teeth, he was discharged. But
the public opinion of Bucktown is overwhel-
ming y against him.
