to keep your readers poste up, on matters
transporting in your midst. and having few
evenings since, Witnessed the proceedings
of the Annual Meeting ofthe "Mount Pleas
ant IL Somers Horse Thief Detecting Soci-
ety." Ihaye thoughtit not amiss to send you
little account thereof.
There seemed to be good representation
present, notwithstanding the inconvenience
ofthe hour and the inclemency of the wealth
err. The meeting was organized and receiv-
ed the report of tic old officers, which SEEM
ed to give general satisfaction
Some discussion was had relative to con-
tinuing the organization, and It was finally
decided in favor of continuing. The follow
ing gentlemen were elected officers for the
ensuing year, viz Peter Reas, J. W. Rhodes
and - Napier, either of whom, pre-.
sumo would be happy to wait upon any ont
wishing certificate of membership.
From tho unanimity of feeling that pre-

think it would be rather warm work, fo
any gang of dcsperadoes, to succeed il
purloining :her horses successfully.
The organization, as understand it, i
a good one, under the present state of So
cie.y; for so long as we have those among
us who do not scruple TO commit crime tn
more safeguards we can throw around our

Henry Read, Of Brooklyn, New York,
1857 suffered for nearly eight years with
a very bad leg, it was covered with sores ct
a most ma ::,H.ant character, and terribly
swollen. He had consulted number of
medical men who were unanimous iii their
opinion, that amputation Of the limb was
the only thing likely 10 save him, and even
then his recovery was dubious as his health
was so much shattered. The loss Of a
limb to man at this period Of life was too
great sacrifice, and he refused to submit
to the operation. He used Holloway's
Ointment and Pills for nine weeks, and the
leo is sound /! !!

Bowie raised his knife high above his

they reached the railing. Suddenly a
streem of blood flowed from the gamblers

Again they rolled over. and again Bowie
plunged his knife into his arm. Sudden

his knife from his right hand to his left

center of the British fleet.
He directed his course so as to come
under the lee of the battle-ship from
whence the admirals flag was lying.
His motions were watched by the
whole deet, who supposed he had come
out to surrender. AT this moment Jones

for Brest, in France and while in the
channel captured two valuable prizes
bound for London, with which he arrived
safely in port.
On the 9th OF October, 1897, Con-
gress voted him gold medal in honor of
his services. Jones quilted America in
November, 1897, and never again visited
its shores. He was afterward engaged in
the Russian service, being sent to the
Black Sea by the Empress Catharine, as
rear admiral, Immediately after his arri-
val in St. Petersburg. April 22. 1888, he
joined Prince Potemkin. who had com
mand of the Russian forces in the Black
Sea- His connection with the Russian
service is complex history,of disappoint-
ment and intrigue.
While in this service he was in many
severe engagements, and showed great
personal courage, though the opportunity
never seemed to present itself for the e1-
hibitiOn of any remarkable exploit, or a
quality worthy of his previous career.
He resided for sometime preceding his
death in Paris, where he died on the 18th
Of July. 1893, at the age of forty-fve.
A distinguished writer hmselfa sailor.
in speaking Of Paul Jones. sums up his
qualities in the following manner:
''In battle, Paul Jones was brave in
enterprise, hardy and original; in victory
mild aAd generous ; in motives, much
disposed to disinterestednesS, though am
bilious of renown. and oovetous of dis.
Linction. In his pecuniary relations he
was liberal in his affections, natural and
sincere and in his temper, just and for
bearing.''

THE HORSE.

The Hon. Zadoc Pratt, recently deliv-
cred an instructive lecture before one OF
the New York Societies on the subject OF
the " Horse" We extract some para.
graphs which convey much information
in an interesting manner
With regard to the horses Of America,
we learn thatlarge numbers were brought
over by the early Spanish and English
discoverers. The first were imported by
Columbus on his second voyage, 1893
The first brought to any territory now
belonging to the United States, were Ian.
ded in Florida, in 1897, by Cabaca dc
VEGA. They were allowed to run loose
during the disscnsions that followed, and
multiplied to an almost incredible extent,
especially in South America. Although
the climate in South America would see m
10 be suitable for the proper development
Of the horse, as it is for cattle, yet he has
never attained more than secondary in
portance. In large wild herds they roam
about. acting in admirable concert to op.
pose the attacks Of wild beasts, who share
the vast wilderness With them. Men have
often fallen victims TO their temerity in
approaching them, and travellers have
frequently found their own horses shake ol
their burdens, break away from restraint,
and dash off the moment they meet q
body Of their free companions, il they
happen to meet, The natives take them
with the lasso, and only ride the horses
leaving the mares to run wild. They
make no attempts to breed, but catch a
horse when they need him. and break
him to their use by the most violent mea'
sutes. They never bring them to mar.
ket, and it is said that a foreigner, who
was once riding = mare, was 50 hooted
at and Pe!sed By the natives that he mar.
rowly escaped with his Iife
The wild horses found in North Ame
rica when the West was first explored
were more hardy; they were Of Spanish
extraction. and had been brought int,
use by the natives TO great extent
though many Wild herds in immense
numbers still roam over the prairies o
our Western territories.
The race of horses which originates
those now used in this country, and ii
Canada, were imported from various na
tions.
In 1903 one horse and six mares Wert
brought to Virginia from England. Il
4 1926 few Dutch horses from HOLLAND
were imported into New Netherlands, NO,
the State Of New York. In 1904, N. L
Eseabot brought the 6rst horse into Cana
da. and Nova Scotia, rheR known by th
Indian name of Acadia. The first hors
brought into Massachusetts, MAS frOn
( England. and was imported by Franei
, Higginson, 1899. In 1878 they existe
r in considerable numbers in Louisana. Th
Indian, on Red River in Texas, used ther
! in 1890. The sarly French settler
in Illinois had them in considerable nhm

The same vessels brought over the fir,
