/v@y injurious to young horse that
been running in pasture with bis
bad down. A horse should be well
accustomed to the bit before the biting
harness is put on; and when he IS first
bitted he should on'y be reined ito where
he holds his head, let it be high or low;
he will learn that he cannot lower his
head, and that raising it littlewillloosen
the bit in his mouth. This will givo
him the idea of raising his head to loosen
his bit, and then you can draw the bit a
little tighter everytime you put it on, and
he will raise his head to loosen it, by
this means you can gradually get his head
and neck in the position you wish him
to carry it, and give him graceful car
rage without hurting him, making him
angry, or causing his mouth to be sore"

No one cnn doubt for nlotneut thst the
necessities Of commerce require bridge
across the Mississippi ut Clinton. 1t Is In
fact part ol the great line by the Pacific

il Is public and national necessity. The

from whom they received their franchises Our
readers noticed that In the recent bill which
passed the House, granting the privilege to
build bridges at Qulncy and other places, an
amendment lcEalixlug the present bridge at
Clinton was rejected. The rcasons for dong
1t were not stated in the dispatches. 1t may
be the gentlemen who own tho bridge have
the matter 50 arranged that NO Law can reach
them but ne suggest few TOPICS for tho
investigation Of the next Illinois and Iowa
legislatures. Fhst, did tho bridge cost only
about sixty thousand dollars, and when built
did the owpe1s double the stock, and then
lease It pcrpctua1ly to the railway west of II
for thirty per cent on the nominal cost? Then
