DoN'T USE A CHECK REIN.-The
N. E Farmer, speaking on the sub
ject, says -
Any person whose attention has been
called to the subject, and who still
persists in the use of light checA
rein ought to have bis own bead
placed in similar position to that to
which he has cruelty subjected the
horse. II we were the "Grand
Sultan" every man who torments
his horse with check-rein should
hold out both arms at right angles
with his body for an hour at time
once in tueDty-four hours, as long as
he continued the use Of the check
rein.
The practice Of drawing in the
heads Of team horses, by means o.
this pernicious strap, is especially
cruel. The horse that is endeavorine
to expepd his strength needs the free
natural use of bis head and neck
The cramping position, now enforced
is alike severe aud injurious to horses
in any business, and should be eased
OF, Till nature has free play.

A New York Forger Caught In Canada.
from the TORONTO Globe Os July 25l

On Saturday information was conveyed to one of
the New York detectives, who is at present paving
visit to some friends in this city, that German.
named Henry Karples alias j. Levi, had left New
York for Toronto, after swndling his employer out
of two hundred barrels of -four. 1t appears that
Karples was in the employ of Messrs. ohm and JAS.
Hecker, commission merchants, New York On the
2Sth June he forged an order for the -four on mis-
employers in the name of Messrs. Lane & Law
renee at whose order the -four was stored. By this
means he obtained possession Of the -four which he
Sold and with the money he took trip to Canada,
accompanied by some friends male and female.
They landed in Toronto, and put up at the Ameri-
can, and seemed to enjoy themselves well, spend
ing their money freely. The police authorities in
New York sent on warrant to their officer. This
was presented to Mr.. Gurnett, who issued warrant
for Karples apprehension.
Mr.. Alderman Sherwood, late Chief of Police, be.
ing an old acquaintance of the detective he placed
il in his hands, MIR. Sherwood sent to the station
for Sergeant Major Cummins, and both proceeded
to the american" yesterday Sunday afternoon,
about five o'clock. They met Karples on the first
floor, and Cummins having said they wanted word
with him, lie Immediately attempted TO make his
escape, aiming several blows at Mr. Sherwood and
the officer He was then informed that he was
prisoner, and forced into back paror. Here he
again began TO act in u most disorderly manner,

ON THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER (wIsEs oRGAN) AND

from ,nr Charleston Mercury
The Richmond Enquirer is very just in its retort
on the Examiner tor the inconsistency it displays
in supporting the repeal Of resolution expressing
satisfaction ut the triumph Of squatter sovereignty
in Illinois over the rights of the South the consti-
tuition and the administration, and now advocating
q tacit submission to the abomination it then ac-
lively repudiated but it does not clear itself Of the
inconsistency it practices itself, charged by the
Examiner. To rejoice one year ago at the triumph
of squatter sovereignty in Illinois, and now to insist
the democratic party, demanded alike by rights of
the South and the duty of the party, are by no
means very consistent positions. The truth is the
Enquirer was wrong throughout the whole Kansas
controversy. Its sympathy and support went with
Walker and Stanton in Kansas, and with Douglas
in his demagoguical pretexts in the Senate to keep
Kansas as slave State, out of the Union, If it is
time, as the Enquirer now maintains, that the Gin
cinnati platform condemns squatter sovereignty
Douglas in his advocacy Of the silly and contemplate
doctrine in Illinois, was not only warning against the
rights of The South but the principles Of the demo.
cratic party He carried with hi N the greater part
of the democratic party in illinois, but there was
minority OF the party faithful to the rights of the
South, the administration and the constitution who
opposed his election. As democrat, much less n
Southern man, the sympathes and support of tho
editor Of the enquirer ought to have been with
those faithful and true democrats. What cause wac
