HOW TO CHOOSE AUORSE.

To become a good Judge of horse requires

taucc with the animal No mere descriptions
are sufficient TO qualify man to 90 into mar

other article is there so much deception prac

Ohio Cultivate, are valuable as suggestions
indicating the principle points to be studied :
First notice the eyes, which shou d be well
examined. Clcarness OF the eye is sure in.
doation OF goodness, but this is not ALT G
eyeIldS, eyebrows, and all other appeudagcs

whose eyes appear clear aud brilliant, 60 blind
at an early age; therefore be careful to observe
whether the part between the eioids and
eyebrows are swollen, for this indicates that
the eve will no, lat. When the eyes are re-.
markably fat. sunk within their orbits, it is a
bad sign The his or crcl, that surrounds
the sight Of the eve, should be destinct, aud
Of a pale, varigated, cinnamon co or, for this is
a sure sign Of a good eye. The eyes OF a
horse are never too large.
The heal should be Of COOL size. broad be
tween the eyes, large uos,ris, red within, for
large norstrls beroken good wind.
The feet and legs should be regarded, for
a horse with bad feet is horse with weak
foundation, and will 10 little scrvie. The feet
should he firm, not spuugy and rotten.
The limbs should bo free from blemishcs
Of all kinds, the knces straight, tie back siu-
ews strong aud we'll brscrd; the posteu joints
should be clear ofSwelngs Of all kind, and
come near the ground, for such never have
the ring one. Fleshy legged horses are gen
orally subject to the ..'grease" ard other in
firmIte. of that klud and therefore should not
be chosen.
The body should be of good size, the back
or nearly SO, and have ouly small sinking
below the withers; the barrel round. and he
ribs come clos 10 the hip joints. Shoulders
should rul back but not to heavy, for horse

and it has since been re2udiated The re-

New York paper before they were sent to

simultaneously. A Baltimore paper published
a report few days ago, that has not been

learn that an order will be issued to have all
the reports, orders, DC, that tho Departments
arc willing to have published, sent to the Gov.
eminent Censor, Mr. Thayor, at the telegraph
Office, who will furnish them to all the repor-
