Death on the Plains.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo, Nov. .13. - Captain
George McLane, of the Mounted Rifles, was
killed by the Navajo Indians on the 18th ut
He was out on scout with his company, and
when within abou % miles of Fort Defiance,
party OF Indians were overtaken. In the
charge upon them, Captain McLane killed four
Indians with his pistols. When the charge
was made, and the word to rally given, the
captain became separated from his men, and
was seen to fall from his horse. His foot be,
came entangled in his stirrup, and his horse,
being frightened, ran off, dragging him a con
siderable distance before he was stopped
When his men came up they found he was
dead. He had three shots in him, which
must have produced instant death. SO perish
ed one of our bravest and nobest officers, by
the hands OF the redskins. Captain McLane
was son Of Senator McLane of Delaware
He leaves widow and three children, who
are at Albuquerque. The Indians, after the
death Of Capt McLane. made their escape.

The Rurnh Trial.

NAPIERvILLE, Ill, Nov. 13'-The parties
in the Burch case are all here, and the legal
gentlemen to whose care the case has been
entrusted, have all arrived. The clerks office
already contains mass of sealed dispositions
bearing upon the case, taken at st. Louis,
Chicago, Albany, New York, and Cincinnati,
most of them at the instance of Mrs Burch,
with the intention of showing the cruelty prac.
ticed toward her by her husband. The case
was reached this morning, when MI. Miller,
counsel for Mr.. Burch, moved that the depos
tons in the case taken at St. Louis, be ruled
out; these relate entirely to the character of
Burch, and could likewise, the counsel al
legged, be proved preyaricated and false. After
consultation, the counsel Tor defendant agreed
to the notion and it was so ordered. The
case was then set for to morrow morning. 1t
is thought two days will be required in en-
panneling a jury. Madame Venice, whose
deposition has been taken in Cincinnati by the
counsel for Mrs. Burch, was arrested in that
city yesterday for perjury.

STABLE MANAGEMENT OF A HORSE.

IL Is one thing TO own horse but it is anoth-
er thing 10 know how to take care of him.
The Woodstock (N.B.) Journal gives few
practical hints on this subject, which are worth
remembering. A stable horse needs special
care and attention. His feeding must be as reg
ular as the measurement of the hours When
a change of feed is made it must be made with
great care-giving q small allowance at first
until the stomach becomes used to the change.
lie must be cleaned every day; and when we
say cleaned, we mean all that can be conveyed
by ttPt word good currycomb, brush, and
an oiled woolen cloth, are the utensils necessa-
ry' FIRST take the currycomb and begin at the
top OF the neck, back of the ears, working the
hand both ways. Proceed in this way til3 Won
have gone over the entire body and legs. Then
take both comb and brush, and every other
stroke, draw the brush across the teeth of the
comb to clean it. An experienced groom will
do TINS instantly. This done, take your cloth
and lay the coat and remove the dust which ad-
heres to the outside. The face and ears must
also feel the brush.
Few men know how to clean horse proper
ly. If the above directions are followed daily.
your horses will enjoy good health generally.
stabbed horses must be exercised daily. This
is absolutely indispensable to good health. If
the feet of your horses are brittle and liable to
break and crack, they must be oiled once week.
A horse thus treated will always be ready to go
when wanted, and you will not be ashamed to
ride or drive him.
Another thing quite as important is a clean
and well ventilated stable. We cannot excuse
any farmer or horse owner, who does not clean
his stable twice day. A stable should be so
constructed as to have wide passage way or
floor in front to feed from Above the manger
space should be left foot or two wide clear,
and the passage-way should be the avenue for
the supply of fresh air to the nostrls of the
horse.
A horse enjoys a good bed, and it should
never be refused him. At night take your fork
and make it up light, and you will feel amply
rewarded for the humane treatment you have
given your beast.
