Cantering Horses


Patent Horse to carryAhis master,
Needs no spur TO make him go faster;
Runs along cheerily soon you stride him,
Ready to go wherever you guide him.
TNHESE horses run rapidly over any good
, i road, sidewalk or park grounds, with a grace
fui cantering motion. propelled mainly by the
weight Of the rider, alternating motion from the
saddle to The padals, IN the act OF rising to the
motion of the horse, and with about the same
am ,nt of exercise to the rider in riding live
horse, ano with about the same amount of exer-
else to the rlder in riding live horse. They
may be started, stopped short, or controlled in
going down hill, by the rider. They will run up
a moderate ascent if the road is hard and firm
They directed by the oridle. As the motions
are Identical, it is good mode Of training for
equestranism. They are unequalled as means
for agreeable and heaithtul out door exercise all
the year round, for adults we'll as for girls and
boys OF two year, old and upward. Girls ride by
using the side-saddie horn-those under ten years
old usually ride astrde. The fer boys strong

A Burglar Foiled---Great Presence
of Mind of u Young Lady.

The residence of Newell Bent, on Es-
sex street, Cambridgeport, was entered
by q burglar last night. whose burglari
Gus purposes were frustrated by the
coolness and skill of young lady, the
sister of Mrs. Bent. The latter and her
husband are now on a visit to Lake
Winnipisegee, and the house is occupied,
in their absence, by the sister and broth
erlof Mr. Bent. The parties occupying the
dwelling slept in different portions of
the structure, the lady in a chamber, at
the head of the front stairs, ard the gen.
tie man in another chamber at the rear of
the building.
Before retiring, the occupants thought
they heard rogues in the building, but
investigation led them to suppose they
were mistaken. About . o'clock this
morning, the lady in the front chamber
distinctly heard footsteps upon the
threshold Of the apartment. With ad-
mirable judgement and presence of mind
she Immediately determined that some
thing must be done, and began to talk,
as though she was not the sole person in
the room, asking her imaginary COM
paniOn if he would not get her some
WdbCl' Duc hudtlg ICuldlheU LudG SIG
would help herself and getting out of
bed, marched boldly stoward the villain,
slipped by him, went the whole length
of the hall, into the apartment Of her
brother and informed him that a bur-
glar was in her chamber.
The brother arose, had a small lamp
lighted, took his rev Oliver and proceeded
to the stairs, his sister bearing the
lamp behind him. At the request of the
former the light was so placed as to cast
| the rays down the stairway, when the
villain was discovered crouching at the
foot. Mr.. Bent Immediately fired, and
then started in pursuit.
Coming to the burglar, he again dis
charged his revolver, this time, he thinks
with effect, and that the criminal car
ried off the ball with him, as the most
diligent search failed to discover any
traces of it in the house. He finally
made his escape through a window in
the front room, all of the windows O!
which had been opened to facilitate his
operations.
He evidently proposed to obtain what
he could in the upper story, and finish
up his plunaering by seizing everything
he might in the rooms on the first floor
But his villianous schemes were frustra-
ted by the remarkable self-possession OF
the young lady, to which allusion has
been made.-Bostoa TraveRe'.

have been very touching as they passed

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO MAIN GENERAL
GRANT.-The Boston Courier of Wednes-
day makes the following statement:
at will be remembered that when
Gen. Grant gave public reception at
the Astor House, New York, some time
since, some dastardly fellow made an
attempt to wrench the Generals arm
out of joint, by seizing his hand with
vice-like grasp and twisting it around
in a painful manner. A similar attempt
to injure the General was made at the
Faneuil Hall reception in this city on
Monday. While the throng of ladies
and gentlemen were paying their res
poets to the distinguished hero, an indi-
vidual approached him and seized his
hand in the same manner that it was
grasped in New York, attempting to
give it a sudden twist, which the Gener-
al succeeded in preventing only by fore
IDLY Withdrawing it. One of the Alder
men who witnessed the operation seized
the man by the neck, but the rascal es-
capped from him, and was quickly lost in
the crowd which was hurrying past.
There is no doubt but that it was de-
liberate attempt to lnflict personal in
jury on the General, and we understand,
also, that he was identified as the per-
son who tried the same. Samo i'm Now

IMPRovEMBNTs,-A very substantial
drain is being made on Merchants Row,
with view to settling" the frequent
frog-ponds thereabouts. 1t is to extend
from the culvert which crosses Mer-
chants Row at French & Kingsley's
store, southwardly to point, opposite
the depot, 664 feet from the culvert
mentioned. The bottom of the drain is
to be ten feet below the surface of the
street at the culvert, and four and half
feet below at the other or upper end.
The sides and top of the drain are being
built of stone, and the work is being
very substantially done under the direc-
ton of highway surveyor H. R. Dyer.
A culvert similarly built, has been late
ly constructed on Center street, in front
of the Post Office, and the foot of Cen
ter street is being filled in with earth to
the exclusion of the Clarendon High
wayman's high-toned cologne water"

gY"Miss Clara Barton has written a
word from Andersonville, under date of
July %, in which she says the work of
recovering and burying the remains of
Union prisoners is progressing favor
ably. She writes
1.-TWO hundred and seventy-six were
recovered yesterday from the ground
known as outside of the dead line or,
as it was generally known to the pub
lie, outside of prohibited line, beyond
which they had accidentally strayed for
the purpose of procuring little fresh
water, or the roots or shrubs of trees,
to allay the pangs of thirst or hunger,
and for so doing were barbarously MUIR

0vERGRoUND RAILWAY, - Richard
Montgomery is to shortly put up a
stretch of his proposed overground rail
way, on Broadway, New York, five or
six blocks in length, to show its prac-
tical working. 1t will be built on iron
posts, directly over the pavement and on
a level with the second stories of the
buildings. The inventor claims that it
is cheap, speedy and safe, and that it
will not cucumber Broadway, even
while building.
