The Art of Catching Horses.

A correspondent Of the Valley Farmer
truly remarks that there are few things
more aggravating than to be in hurry to
20 to some place, and have great trouble
to catch a horse. / lave sometimes made
the assertion that a horse which / raise
will never be hard to catch unless some one
else spoils him. The way l manage is to
keep them gentle from colts, handling them
as often as convenient. When young hors
es are running to grass give them salt &C.
casionally, and let them fondle about you
making as little show Of trying to get hold
of them as possible. There is nothing
surer to spoil borse forever than to run as
if trying to hem him in and yelling at him
authoratively, or scolding when he can see,
just as we'll as you know, that he is out of
your reach. Toput on the cap sheaf, whip
him severely for causing trouble, and my
word for 1t, the next time you want to
catch him he Twill not listen to the voice
OF your charming, charm you ever 80 wise
ly"
Horses learn great deal Of signs. In
beginning to teach them to be caught, 90
toward them on the near side, slowly aud
cautiously, making no demonstrations at
all. IL the animal begins to walk of, stop
and whistle, or otherwise manifest indiffer
ence, until he becomes quiet again, then
approach as before. When you are so
close as to be confident he will not escape
you, speak kindly, and hold up one hand,
ready to touch him 10 the withers, and
thence pass it along the neck until you can
gei hold Of bis head, but do not seize him
with grab. as this tends to excite fear af-
forwards. By practicing this course, US
in tha uIu hold L.
you are little further away each time, a
horse may be taught to stop and be caught,
even when in considerable glee (playing)
simply by holding up the hand, and using
some similar phrase such as whoa boy,
&c
BY way Of caution, however, watch his
actions and Intentions closely during bis
tutoring, and il at any time or from any
cause you see that he is going to run, dc
not by any means cay anything or hold up
your hand. as the sign given and disobeyed
few times will almost inevitably prevent
your making out of it in future.

A young man, clad in homespuu, was

Incidents Of the Lexington
Fight

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
relates two interesting incidents that are
said to have occurred at the Lexington sur.
render. as follows:
Gen. Price very kindly allowed Col.
Mulligan to take down the flag which the
ladies of Chicago had presen' ed to the Bri.
gade he tore it in strips. and, with tears
in his eyes. gave each soldier piece.
When the American flag was taken
down rebel was about tearing il, and, be-
ing seen by the roted rebel, Gen. Rains,
he was ordered under arrest, the General
saying that he could not fight for it with
Lincoln at the head of the government, but
he would not see it mutillated."
