Pointment for some time to come in the place Of
Mr.. North, the recently removed incumbent Of

Hard Times in Sheboygan.

Our friend, MILLS, of the Sheboygan
Journal, gives the following gloomy &C
count Of matters ard things in Sheboygen
county:
"On Friday last we took q ride into
the town OF Sheboygan Falls, and on Sat.
urday into the town of Lima. Wherever
we went we found only very poor show
for incoming crops. Winter wheat is al
most an entire failure aud the spring
grains and grass are in statue quoawait:ng
the coming of a warm and soaking rain.
Farmers are extremely hard up" and gay
they will be obliged to abandon their lands
and leave for A more favored locality, if
their crops fail them this year. Altogeth-
er, matters and things now look squaIy
in this portion of the State, and prospects
are decidedly bad"
If tie Journal wishes to do good act
for the people of Sheboygan, it will imme-
diately advise the farmers out there TO
move into Manitowoc county, where crops
look good, where the people are prosper
ing, and where hard times are never utter
ed. We always prophesied that the soil
Of Sheboygan county was too poor even
to sustain "gophers." Move mp this way

History Of the Horse.
NUMBER y.

Forty years afterwards, in the reign of
Henry II, Snithield was celebrated as a
horse msgkst. Fiz Stsyhen, who lived at
that time, gives the following animated ac-
count of the manner in which the hack
neys and charging steeds were tried there,
by racing agsinsr one another. " When
race was to be run by this kind of hors-
es. and perhaps by others. which also in
their kind are strong and fleet, shout is
immelistely raised, and the common
horses are ordered to withdraw out of the
way. Three jockeys, or sometimes only
two, as the match is made, prepare them
selves for the contest. The horses on
their part are not without emulation; thoy
tremble. and are impatient and continual
ly III motion. Al last, the signal once Civ
en-, they start, dsvour the course, and hur-
~ along with unremitting swiftness. The
Jockeys, inspired with the thought Of ap-
plause, and the hope of victory, clap spurs
to their willing horses, brandish'thei whips
and cheer them with their cries" This
description reminds us of the more length
ened races of the present day, and proves
the blood of the English horse, even be-
fore the Eastern breed was tried.
Close on this followed the Crusade..-
The champions Of the Cross certainly had
1t in their power to enrich their native
country with. some of the choicest speci-
mems of Eastern horses, but they were com
pletely under the influence of superstition
and fanasicism, and common sense and
usefulness were forgotten. An old metri-
nol ha e
horses belonging to Richard Ceur de Ii.
on, which ne purchased at Cyprus, and
were therefore probably of Eastern origin.
"Yn this world they had no pere,#
Dromedary nor destrerc,t
Stede, Rabyte ne Cammele,
Goeth none SO swifte without fayle:
For thousand pownd of golde,
Ne should the one be solde.'
The war steed was defended by mail
or plate, much on the plan of the harness
of :he knight himself. His head WAS or
namented with crest. The head, chest
and TANKS, were wholly or partially pro-
tected, and sometimes he WAS clad in com
plete steel, with the arms of his master
engraved or embossed on his bardings.-
The bride of the horse was always as
splendid as the circumstances of the knight
allowed, and thus horse was often called
Brigliadore, from drigIia d ORC, a bundle
Of gold. Bells were a very fayorte addi-
ton to the equipment of the horse. The
old Troubador, Arnold of Marston, SAYS
that "nothing is so proper to inspire con-
fidence in knight, and terror in an enc
my" T.R, rvs.

Capital Punishment in N. Y

Tie Legislature Of New York, follow
ing the example Of Michigan, has very
essentially modified the law relative to the
death penalty, although it has not wholly
abolished capital punishment. A bill first
passed the Senate abolishing hanging in
all cases, and substituting imprisonment
for life for such cases as are now punisha
bic with death The bill, however, was
not accepted by the House, but, in lieu of
IT, one was passed which provides that ex-
ecutions hereafter shall be only for muir
der in the first degree, treason and arson.
Murder in the first degree is to be punish
ed by Imprisonment for lite. In cases of
death sentences, the execution is not to
take place until one year after sentence,
and not until the issue Of tie Governors
warrant This may not be all that the
reformists ask for, but still it is a long
stride in advance. Nothing is more evil
dent than the fact that popular feeling is
setting more and more against capital pun
