Points in a Good Horse.

In purchasing good horse, sight,
wind, feet and limbs must be the upper
most object of inquiry; for nine horses
out of ten are defective in one of these
particulars. First, then, examine his
eyes, and do this before he comes out
of the stable; see that they are per-
fectly clear and transparent, and that
the pupils or apples of the eye are ex-
actIy alike in size and color. Next ex-
anime his pipes; if good and sound,
on being nipped in the gullet, he will
utter SOUND like that from bellows;
but if his lungs are touched and he is
broken winded, he will give vent to a
dry, husky, short cough; look to his
limbs also, and in passing your hands
down his legs, if you find any unnatural
protuberance, or puffness, or if feeling
first one Jeg then the other, you dis
cover any difference between them,
disease, more or less, is present; he
may not be lame, but he is not clean
upon his legs. If he is broad and full
between the eyes, he may be depended
on as a horse of good sense, and capa-
BILE OF being trained to almost anything.
If you want gentle horse, get one
with more or less white upon him:
many suppose that the parti-colored
horses belonging to circuses, shows,
&c, are selected for their oddly; but
it is on account of their docility and
gentleness; in fact, the more kindly
yon treat horses, the better you will be
treated in return.-Spirit of the Times.

Few know how. to shear sheep
properly. The following hints will be
useful: - ea' bsa ~-lsl ca
First, In shearing time, do not pen
your sheep more than half day at a
time. To do so makes them week,
irritable and difficult to shear.
Second, think the best plan to shear,
is on a platform, sixteen or eighteen
inches high. The sheep should sit on
the table, and rest its back and head
OH the left leg, the left left leg is on the
table, the right one on the floor. Com
mence cutting the wool at the brisket,
shearing along the belly, letting the
wool roll to the left where it will be
out of the way. When this is done,
shear, the flank, then commence at the
point of the shoulder and run the shears
to the right ear: shear the neck to the
left side as far as the back bone. Now
change sides with the sheep, standing
the right foot on the table, and finish
the neck, Now shear the right side,
finishing on the right hind leg. In
this way, the fleece is kept whole the
sheep is turned but little, thus avoiding
struggling, tearing of fleecesandripjury
to the animal. = ,t- b.
Within the last eight years, have
SHARED 5000 sheep without having a
fleece kicked to pieces, and seldom cut
a sheep; there is no excuse for cutting
fat sheep. When badly cut they
will always kick, and then the shearer
will pound them with is shears or fist.
The kinder you treat a sheep the better
they behave. Many wool growers want
their sheep sheared very close to the
hide, but this is not so well for the
sheep nor for the next growth of wool.
When sheared close, the hot sun Injuries

Captain Robertson, of the ship Adelaide Bell and
his friends here, positively deny that the flag which
the ship showed on Friday, was n Black Republi-
can flag, and the Captain especially and fatty de-
MES that he ever admitted to anybody that it was
a Black Republican flag, our report of Saturday
to the contrary notwithstanding.
He says that the flag was presented to the ship
when she was launched, seven years ago, by Mr.
Isaac Bell, of Mobile, after whose wife, Mrs Ade-
laide Bell, the ship was named; and that if there
was any Black Repubiicanism in a red stripe COM
ing next to the blue union, instead of white stripe,
he never knew it; and that he has repeatedly had
the flag flying in this port, but never knew I'LL FIJI
day last that it was Black Repuoilcan nag 30
much for the Captains explanation.
Our informants, who reported to us the doings of
Friday, still stick to it, that the flag is known at
sea among ship captains as the flag ofthe Northern
or Black Republican States, and has been so recog
nized for three or four years; and one Of the
