whether for ladies or gentlemen, there is none more
%healthful or invigorating than riding horseback,
when it is daily and regularly practiced. Walking
is healthful, and so is riding in carriages, but eques-
trian exercise, by stirring up all the nerves. muscles
and blood, impsrts more benefit to the system than
both the other modes named, particularly in our
enervating climate. where sufficient exercise is not
always obtained. More than half the cases of con-
sumption might be cured, or at least life greatly pro-
longed. by constant and systematic horseback exer-
else. Washington Irving resorted TO this mode of
exercise. and it undoubtedly prolonged his life several
years. With all his cares of state, Lord Palmerston,
now 20 years of age, finds time to ride eight or ten
miles each day, which, combined with Il robust con-
stitution, enables him 10 perform a vast amount of
labor. -
ROBBERY AND DETECTIoN.-On the afternoon Of
the 31st of July, while Mr.. Leonard, who resides on
King Street, on the premises of c. II. Levers, ESQ.
WAS absent at the A-Bory of the II. r. Co., a thief
entered his room through the window, and breaking
open n trunk, took therefrom a watch and chain,
some finger rings. and other small articles. Upon
returning, Mr.. L.. missed the articles, and upon in
quiry, learned that n native who had been employed
in the lumber yard. had left the premises a few min
utes before. Mr.. l.. traced the man up town, took
him into custody. and marched him to the station
house, when. upon examination, the watch was found
in his hat. Subsequently, he gave information which
led TO the recovery of the balance Of the property.
Upon examination before Police Justice r. G. Davis,
he plead guilty and was sentenced to serve one year
in prison at hard labor.
New NATIVE PAPER.-It has been proposed by
several of our most intelligent and influential ma
tives, who have become dissatisfied with the Haze, TO
commence a new paper. which may give them more
foreign news, as well rs an insight into what is
going on around town. They should count the cost,
for publishing a paper (Native or English) is no
child's play, and many a FOOLS money has been lost
in such adventures. Still q good, reliable and in
structive native paper will poy nell, provided a
man Of the right stamp has the control and man
agement. -
