Spayiug q Mare.

DR.. Dadd, v. S.. just informs us that he
has recently performed the n'vel operation
of spsying a mare, (rsmoving the ovsriss.l
The mare was six years old, and belonged
to Charles H. Ballard, Of Hartford, Vt
We believe this is the frs, case Of the kind
in this country, il indeed, it is not the first
one eyer tried, and Mr.. Ballard is entitled
10 much credit for offering so valuable an
animal for the benefit of science. as it has
been generally supposed that Al operation
Of the kind would prove fatal. The ami
NAL was under the influence Of sulphurio
ether, and the operation proves entirely
successful, ten days having elapsed since il
was performed. Ths object to bs attained
in this partiular case, was 10 render the
mare more docils, as she had heretofore
been nearly unnanageabls during her pc.
riods of heat. PhysiOlogists are Of opinion
tha, removing the ovaries, il successfully
performed, will render the animal mild and
gentle.

BRRVITY.

II Is said Of the three most influential
members Of the Convention that formed the
Constitution Of the United States, that in
all the debates of that body, no one Of them
made q speech Of more than twenty MIN
utss. We have good authority for stating
that Alexander Hamilton, thoush rscksned
among the mere diffuse orators Of this dsy
did net occupy mere than two hours and
half in. his largest argiment on the trial
Of 4 case, and his rival, Aaren Burr, more
than an hour and quarter. A Judge who
was Intimately acquainted with Burr and
his practice, confirmed this statement, ad-
ding that within bis knowledge this sdve-
cate repeatedly and successfully dispossd
of cases involving large amount Of prop
srty in half an hour. "Indeed," said he,
ION one occasion he talked to the jury sew
On minutes in such anannsr, that II took
me, on the bench, half an hour 10 straighten
them OUT" He added, II once asked him.
:Csl. Burr, why cannot lawyers always
save the time and spare the patience OF the
court and jury by dwelling only on the I'M
porian. points in the cases?' fs which Burr
replied, Sir, you demand the greatest fac
ulty Of the human mind, selection He
is well known to have been one Of the most
effective advocates in his own time, and In
this matter, if in nothing else, he deserves
to be studied and initiated. We refer TO
single foreign example, an eminent English
barrister. -"I asked sir James Scarlett,'
says Buxton, s'what was the secret Of his
pre-eminent success as an advocate. He
replied that he took eare..tc press hcme the
one principal point Of the case, without
paying much regard to the others. Hs al
so SAID that he knew the secret Of being
short. i find,' said he, shat when / ex-
csed half an hour, am always doing mis-
chief to my client. II drive into the

method, and his reason for il, not only to
ministers, bat quite as urgently to lawyers
and Members Of Congress. viii not some

EfWas it the egs or the chicken that

The above question, says the Psnnsylva-
