HoRsEs.-Few persons are acquaint-
ed with the mode Of Judging horse by
the teeth. As the lesson can be learned
by rote in a few minutes, intending
purchasers will do well to commit to
memory. At two years old, the horse
sheds the two middle teeth of the under
jaw; at three years, he sheds two other
teeth, one on each side Of those shed the
year before-at four years old, he sheds
the two remaining or corner teeth; at
five years old, the two middle teeth are
full, being no longer hollow as the others
are, and the teeth will have penetrated
the gums; at six years old, the four
middle teeth are full, the corner ones
only remaining hollow-the tusks sharp;
at seven years old, the corner teeth are
full, the tusks larger and thicker, and
the horse is said to be aged. Occasion
ally, however, these marks will slightly
vary, good deal depending on the
animals constitution, whether he is q
late or an early foal; also, upon the
manner in which he has been reared,
the kind of food, shelter, etc.

REPORT OF FAIR COMMITTEE
Squarza's Punches.

NNHE SPECIAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Il by the Mechanics Institute, on the occasion
of the last Fair, to examine and decide upon Com
pounds and aliornia Inventions, consisted of DR..
Isaac Rowell, DR.. Beverley Cole, and Wm. H.
Keith, Esq. The following is an extract from the
Report of these gentlemen: The Liquors, Punch
es, Tonic Bitters, Cordials, ETC., prepared by v.
Squarza, are without exception, the finest articles
in their line the Committee have ever examined
All of Mr.. Squarzas preparations have these great
merits over other compounds of a similar charac-
ter lst. That none but the best and purest liquors
are used. I'd. That no Sugar, Syrup or Sweeten-
ing principle is used except that obtained by
maceraton of sweet fruits, hence the nutritious
principles contained in the fruits also impaired
to the Punches. That the following materials are
also obtained by macerating the various fruits,
flowers, f4ants and herbs which contain them, in
stead OF using the ordinary expressed essential
oils. The great skill of Mr.. SquarZa consists in
his ability to blend harmoniously, and in the due
preparation the various materials used, that
there none wanting and none in excess. Some
OF his preparations are medicinal, and deserve
especial and favorable mention.

A DRoLL RERLY.-A good anecdote
is told of certain laddie on one of our
gunboats. The vessel was just going
into action, and our soldier was upon
his knees, when an officer sneeringly
asked him if be was afraid? " No, l
was praying" was the response.
Well, what are you praying for ,"
Praying said the soldier, "that
the enemy's bullets may be distributed
the same way as the prize money is,
principally among the oEeers.''

BARKING OF DoGs.-Dogs in a state
Of nature never bark; they simply
whine, howl and growl; this explosive
noise is only found among those which
ore domesticated. Sonnini speaks Of
the shepherds dogs in the wilds of
Egypt as not having this faculty and
Columbus found dogs which he had
previously carried to America to have
lost their propensity for barking. The
ancients were aware of this circum-
stance. Isaiah compares the blind
watchmen of Israel to these animals !:
'sThey are dumb, they cannot bark" "
But, on the contrary, David compares
the noise of his enemies to the ''dogs
round about the CITY," Hence, the
barking of a dog is an acquired faculty,
an effort to speak which he derives from
his associating with man. 1t cannot be
doubted that dogs in this country bark
more and fight less than formerly.
