LAMPAs IN HoRsEs.-My attention was
called to this subject by passing a black
smith shop, and seeing horse refuse to
submit to the barbarous operations of hav-
ing the lampas, as it is termed burned out.
Now, sir, to save the noblcst of animals
from that unnecessary torture, l will briefly
state my. practical experience. 1t frequent
ly happens that horses are brought to me
with the bars on the palate in state Of
tumefaction, causing an unnatual prominence
of the lower ridges of the palate. would
not trouble you on this supposed malady but,
it has called forth infiction of great tor
ture on the animal. I.ampas is neither more
nor less than torpidity of the vessels of the
palate, caused by an inAammatory condition
of the germs which frequently attend the
tccthing process. In such case we ought,
instead of burning out, remove the cause by
lacerating the gums, and this is seldom called
for. | find that in tumefaction of the mouth,
arising from whatever cause it may, indicate
cooling and astringent washes-a weak solu-
tion of alum is very good, or an infusion of
witch-hazcl or bayberry bark, will answer the
same purpose.
The practice of burning out lampas has re-
ceived the seal of the ancients, but, trust,
in this age of progressions, such ancient
barbarities will be superseded by practical
science

DARN SUCH JUSTICE. in Boston,
bout year ago, man detected an intimacy
between his wife and neighbor, which he
concluded, was not in accordance with plight
ed VOWS, &c. He therefore sought the eff
cacy Of Court, and had the offending par
ties held to bail; but the Judge required
the complainant to enter also into recogni-
zance as principle witness. The unfortu-
nate and injured husband could not 90 this,
and was placed in Jail to the delight of the
guilty lovers. After six months had inter.
vened, the case was called for trial, and the
complainant witness introduced to testify
But it was ascertained that husband could
not testify against his wife. 1t was then that
the stricken man, in all the agony of affiict-
ed mind, exclaimed: Your Honor, is this
what they call justice? Here, six months
ago, | complained against this man for crimi-
nal intercourse with my wife thereupon
was locked up out of the way, and he has
lived with her ever since. Now you say
can't testify, and there's no case against
him. Why coudn' you tell me that last fall
without keeping Inc in Jail all winter, and
leave the parties to 90 on half a year longer,
making bad matter worse, without me to
trouble 'em. Darn such Justice

GARDENING FOR FEBRUARY.

The wise man hath said, 'sto every thing
there is a season, and a time to every pur-
pose under heaven" and among the rest, Il
time 10 plam True; but we must acknowl-
edge that the season is 50 very different from
the parallel time Of past years, that we do
not know how to anticipate what should be
the mode of procedure in garden economy
for the present month, to insure success in
raising early vegetables. But We would ad-
wise our readers to commence active opera
tons in the preparation of the soil, if this
work has not been done by trenching or spa
ding during the months of October and No
vcmbcr The soil that was OH top last year
should be inverted by spading; at the same
time throw up the under stratum from be-
meath to the depth of foot, so that tha at
mostphere may exert an ameiorating inhu-
cncc upon it, decomposug those dormant
elements of fertility so necessary to secure a
luxuriant growth of vegetables. After the
lands have been subjected to the action of
the frost for a week or two, give them
heavy dressing from the compost heap, and
at the same time apply salt broadcast, at the
rate of two bushels to the acre, and plough
the whole under to the depth of four or five
inches. In this condition let the beds lie
until the time to SOW seeds or transplant.
The beds designed for onions should be
well mauurcd with the scrapings from the
barn house Small onions and cloves may
be set out and onion seeds sown as soon as
the ground is ready to receive them.
Irish Potatoes may be planted now in deep
burrows two feet apart. Drop the potatoes
or pieces, one foot in the row, fill the fur
row half full of we'll rotted manure from
the horse stable, then throw a furrow upon
the manure and potatoes with a barshear
plough, then coverthe whole with leaves from
the forest, at least six inches thick, ,and throw
brush enough over them to keep the wind
from blowing them away.

PERFECTLY CoOL.-A wagglsh friend OF
ours tells the following, which we do not re-
member to have seen in print:
A certain man, whom we will call NJ,
was mooted for possessing great courage and
presence of mind, aud the crOsscSt wife in
the ncighborhood. More than one attempt
had been made to frighten NJ, without
success; but one dark, stormy evening, one
of his brother chips, resolving to see if there
was any scare in him, fixed up in the most
ghostly style possible, and stationed himself
in lonely piece of woods through which NJ
had to pass on his way nome. The prcten-
ded ghost had scarcely settled himselfin his
position, when NJ hove in sight, and
came whistlipg along unconcerned as usual
Suddenly the ghostly figure confronted him,
in a sepulchral voice, commanding him to
stop. NJ did so, and after regarding his
companion for moment, said, with the ut
most coolness: Il can't stop friend # you
are man, | must request you to get out of
the way andle me pass; if you are the dev-
il, come along and take supper with me, I

Amuslng Reabmg,
BIG BRINDLE.

In Nashville, many years ago, there resi-
ded gentlemen of great hospitality, large
fortune, and, though uneducated, possessed
of hard knot sense. Colonel W. has been
elected to the legislature, and had also been
Judge of the county court. His elevation,
however, had made him somewhat pompous,
and became very of fond using big words.
On his farm he had large, mischievous OK,
called big Brindlc,' which frequently broke
down his neighbor's fences, and committed
other depredations much to the ColonePs
annoyance. One morning, after breakfast
in presence of some gentlemen whohad staid
with him over the night, and who were now
on their way to town, he called his overseer
and said to him
'Mr. Allen, I desire you to impound big
Brindle," in order that I may hear no more
apimadversions of his eternal depredations.
Allen bowed and walked off sorely puz-
zled to know what the Colonel meant. So,
after Colonel w. left for town, he went to
his wife and asked her what Colonel ".
meant by telling him to impound' the OK.
why said she, 'the Colonel means to
tell you to put him in pen
Allen left to perform the feat for it was
no inconsiderable one, as the animal was
very wild and vicious, and after great deal
of trouble and vexation, he succeeded.
WELL said he wiping the perspiration
from his brow and soliloquizing, 'this is im-
pounding, is it? Now, I'm dead sure the
old Colonel will ask me if have impound-
ed Big Brindle, and III bet I'll puzzle him
as bad as he did me-
The next day the Colonel give a dinner
party, and as he was not the aristocratic, Allen
the overseer, sat down with company, After
the second or third glass was discussed, the
Colonel turned to the overseer and said
'Eh, Mr.. Allen did you impound Big
Brindle, sir?'
Allen Strengthened himself, and looking
around the company, said:
Yes, did, but old Brindle transcended
the impaunel of the impouud and scattero
phisticated all over the eqanimity of the for
est
The company burst into an immoderate
fit of laughter while the Colouels face red
deemed with discontinue.
what do you mean by that, sir? said
he.
why, I mean, Colonel said Allen, 'that
old Briudle, being prognostigated with the
idea of the cholery, ripped and tared, snort
ed and paved dirt, jumped the fence, tuck
to the woods, and would not be impounded
no how
This was too much. The company roared
again, in which the Colonel was forced tt
join, and in the midst of the laughter, Al
len left the table saying to himself as ht
went, Il reckon the Colonel won't ask mt
to impound any more oxen
