Uo1S to Break Colts.


The following instructions with rcla

colts, and the subsequent operations up
h, obdurate and ungovernablc horses
were originally written and published
Ihy Mr.. Rarey some three years ago, ant
IRE an important part of his system, al
though coming more particularly under
the head of training, rather than tanning.
If colt is properly broken in his first
encounter with man, the necessity of a
method of tanning, other than that used
for wild horses, would never have been
| Experienced, therefore, these instruc
lions are peculiarl y valuable.
Hor to Halter, Saddle and Bride a Colt
In breaking colt, we should first eli

is required of him. lettering him with
a halter for the first time, placing. the
saddle upon his back. fastening the
girtlls, are all matters of paramount i'm
portance, demanding the greatest de-
gree of patience, perseverance, and an
lntuitive knowledge of his idiosyncra-
cies.
Before putting Il halter upon colt, he
must be rendered familiar with it by ca
ressing him and permitting him to ex;.-
mine the article with his nose. Then
place portion Of it over his head, oc-
casionalIy giving it a slight pull and i'll
a few minutes he will be accustomed to
these liberties, aud then the halter may
be fastened on properly. To teach him
to lead is another difficulty. Stand q
little ON one side, rub his nose and fore
head, take hold of the strap and pull
gently, aud at the same time touch him
lightly with the end Of a long whip
across his hind legs This will make
him start and advance few steps. Re-
peat the operation several times, and he
will soon learn to follow you by simply
pulling the halter. The process of sad
Ing and bridling is similar The mouth
OF the colt should be frequently handled,
after which introduce a plain snaflle be.

one hand and caress him with the other.
After time he will allow the bride to
be placed upon him. The saddle can
now be brought in and rubbed against
lis nose, his neck and his legs; next
hang the stirrup strap across his back.
and gradually insinnlte the saddle into
its place The girtll should not be. fast
ened until he becomes thoroughly ac-
auainted with the saddle. The first
time the girth is buckled itshonld be
done SO lightly as not to attract his at
tentio,; subsequently it can be tightened
without inspiring him with fear, which,
if fastened Immediately, it would most
certainly do. In this manner tile wild
est colt can be effectnally subjugated
BY such imperceptible degrees that he
gives taeit obedience before he is aware

lieys that the experience taught us in this
struggle will be for prestige in all future
history
The republicans have now made choice
of their State ticket--men, for the most
part, unknown to the public arena. As
there is no dispusing about tastes we will
not venture any judgment on this remark
able proelivity for obscure personases, and
certainly not attempt to divine the object
of such policy. To the democrats OF
Indiana We would have this word of ad-
vice--ra.iy around your standard bearers
and prepare for the next contest; by the
party you love, and the country you re-
we're, suffer no seductive arts or intrigue TO
shake your fidelity to her cause, and at the
next contest you will achieve such victo-
ry that the enemy will never rally again, till
they rally under new colors.

bound, on Friday morning, and enjoyed a
pleasant little ride down to Fl. Wayne -
With superior. wide gauge track, heavy
machinery. and commodious coaches. with
every elegant appointment. they are pre-
pared &c give all who patronize them a safe,
pleasant. and speedy conveyance.
This road, Notwithstanding the peculiar
stress of the times, sustains itself well,
thus showing that it is not only favorbly
located for good business range, but that
its affairs are managed by an efficient SET
of officers. Arrangements have just been
made for the speedy completion of the
western extension from this place to Chi
cago; this done, this road will not only be
one Of the longest but one of the best in
point of business facilities in the coun-
try.
The road from here to Fit. Wayne passes
through forests of the finest soil and TIM
Der, which are already being developed by
steam saw-mills and pioneer farmers. Is
it fanciful to see at no distant day waving
fields of grain. large and comfortable farm
houses and beautiful little villages dotting
the surface of the country?
1t was our first visit to Fl. Wayne, and
we confess ourself agreeably disappointed
in our ideas Of it. 1t is considerably larg-
er than we had supposed. and although
its location is rather low, it presents a
rather pleasant appearance. We observed
some very beautiful private residences,
and three fine iustitutions of learning
very certain mark of the taste and intelli
gence of the people.
We would not omit to mention our In
debtedness to Mr.. Elliott, formerly of this
place. for many favors shown us while
there.

Turner, of the Jeffersonian, but learned he
was out of town.
