MIR. Rnrer and His secret.

The following Is Mr. Rareys note 10 thi
London Times, explanatory of his course il
this country and abroad relative to his Hors,
Tanning secret, which has proved SO valuable
to himself at least, in London and Paris:
To The Editor Of the London Times:
On my return from Paris, after an absence o.
ten days, my attention has been drawn 10 seye
raj letters which have appeared in the newspa
pers respecting the bond as to secresy given by
my subscribers at the time of entry beg now
to inform them. through the medium of YOU
widely circulated paper, that | at once and en-
tirely release them from the penalty attached 70
it. and sincerely regret that what was merely
designed as protection to myself should have
been the cause of dissatisfaction to any Of my
pupils As to the pamphlet which has been so
extensively circulated in London, without my
knowledge or consent, 1t was written by me
three years ago, Immediately upon the dlscove-
~ of my system, and contains but meager and
imperfect description of it as now practieed by
me- 1t was printed for private circulation in
my native State of Ohio, and l believe Is per
fectly unknown in New York and other cities
of the United States, as l never gave lessons o0
my system except in Ohio and Texas, where
ssed = length of time in experimenting on
wild horses, mules, &c. / do not believe that
any book that ever was written can teach this
system so well and fully as an hours lesson
with personal observation.
In conclusion, 1 beg to state that have never
instructed any person, either in America or
Europe, without making them sign a bond, un-
der penalty, not to diYulge It, and that the on
ly copies of my lmphlet ever before the world
were those given to each of my pupils in Amer
ica when they received their instruction.
]. ). RAREY.
TaTrERsALL's, July 6, 1858.
We have a copy Of the pamphlet referred to
as having been printed for private circulation.
1t is entitled, " The Art of Tanning Wild Horses.
By J. S. Rarey Columbus Printed by the
Ohio State Journal Company, 1856" 1t is a
pamphlet of 62 pages, and gives minute diree-
tions how to proceed in successfully training and
managing horses, from getting colt from the
pasture to making horse stand without hold
ing. The three fundamental principles of Mr..
Rarey's theory, founded on the leading charae-
teristies of the horse, according to the pamphlet
are
First--That he is so constituted by nature
that he viii not offer any resistance to any de-
mand made upon him, which he fully compre-
hends, if made in way consistent with the
laws of his nature
Second.-That he has no Consciousness of
his strength beyond his experience, and can
be handled according to our viii without force.
Third.-That we can, in compliance with the
laws of his nature, by which he examines all
things new to him, take any object, however
fughtiul, around, over or on him, that does not
afiiet pain, without causing him to fear.
The discipline of gentleness and kindness,
with decision. in handling horses, is taught in
Mr.. Rs pamphlet, which certainly contains
much of value to all vino have TO do with train
ing the noblest and most useful of animals =
That his system is best aquired orally and from
personal observation there can be no doubt, and
the labOrs Of Mr.. R. in Europe, and of himself
and brothers in this country, have and viii do
much 10 establish better relations of conduct
and confidence between master and steed.
