"could not, through any other means be reasonably
"e1pec,ed to be presented TO the public"
TIE book this year extends TO 600 pages, Of which
nearly half are historical 1t is well printed and like
its predecessors, does just credit to the taste and in
dustry Of the venerable Clerk OF the Common Council
HELP FOR THE HoRsEs-It has Just been ascer.
taned after persistent and industrious inquiry for
many days, that there 10 balm in Ghesd Everybody
bas conmserated the lot Of those unfortunate horses
~ doomed to drag the crowded stages through
streets under the lash of Implying drivers every
body must have repeatedly seen their painful strug-
giles when an uDlucky fall had placed them on their
sides in the gutter; ard almost everybody had long
since made up his mind that their condition was past
help. At last, however, Yankee genius has come TO
the equine rescue, and stagehorses shall hereafter fall
more. An invention heretofore noticed in THr
TRIBUNE has been perfected 10 keep them on their
feet, or at least to keep their bodies off the ground
even when their legs in the air. 1t consists Of
miniature Derrick projecting from the front of the
nibus. sustaining heavy straps which pass under
the bodies Of the animals. If horse stumbles he
does not fall but is caught by the band aud held
pended 10 the dir Ike Mahorets cofip or rather, like
an overgrOwn child in big abyjumper. Hero he
may remain Until he is rested, and then at his own
The invention ia worthy Of trial, as is any which
is calculated to spare the poor beasts any of the blows
ard bruises which their unhappy carcasses are obliged
to endure. AS things are, instead Of passing their
old sge green pastures by the side Of pleasant
tiers, hundreds Of them every year drop dead in the
street from overwork, dying like Mr.. Macbeth, liter
ally, " with harness on their backs"
